Here I go again ...

Here I go again...

So this is actually going to be helping out the lads in the local GW store, and its a chance for me to paint a model that I was not intending to buy.

 The model was returned to the store after a can of spray did something to the centre belly plate on the model, for reasons unknown either the spray semi melted the details or the plastic was not cast properly, whatever it was the store replaced the entire model for the customer and now they have a blood thirster to paint that they were not intending scheduled to... So thats where I come in.

The beastie arrived assembled, under coated, sprayed with the GW red base coat and washed to hell with null oil... not where I would have started, so he's (or she's) now grey.


I was joking with the lads in the store that I might paint it like the hulk with green skin and purple armour, but one of them look rather nervous about that.  since it's going to be a store piece I'll try to be as tame as I can with the colour scheme.  Also, I'm going to ignore any mould lines or big gaps that I would normally remove or fill in, this is after all going to end up in a store with grubby little fingers all over it, so yeah, not going to get too fussy about the build quality.

From this pic he looks so happy, so I'm going to call him 'Chuckles'.
