Hammer of the Gods

 Hey hey .. While I was looking at the guy I made with the lightning claw I just couldn't take it.. he's too stumpy. So I went back to Plan B and last night I finished up this guy I had started and I'm actually pretty happy with his outcome.

 For a one day paint job I think he's pretty good and he will be a new Praetor.. and he'll get some action in the big blam .. a Thunder Hammer will be of great use.

 Its hard to see but I added a little blue to the front of the hammer like there is some power there but it's not be kicked in..  I liked the looks of the hammer without the glow so figured I'd just put the start but not a full glow.

 Whoa.. he's blurry..  well I did a little clean up on the Apoth but Im going to get a little more done on the sword. I also smeared it with black (on the other side) last night haha.. so that has to be fixed. Hint.. always check your figured before you pick up a model 8)

 Here's stubby.. I have to figure out what I'm going to do with him..  but I couldn't handle it haha

And finally in an act of stupidly I started on the Proteus .. it's a good way in so I might get it done but I'm not too worried about it. It gets done, awesome! If not it waits till later..

Saturday I want to have the Display 100% complete.. The wife has granted me the day so it will be a full day to get my final stuff done! I'm looking forward to being done. haha..

Nova Final Countdown ... 1 week to go.

 It's the final week till Nova 2017 and I have everything mostly done. There are a few bits on the display board I need to weather or touch up but I'll be working on that this weekend to finish everything up.

 I wanted to get a full army shot and also wanted to start working on how everything is going to sit on it. I have most of it figured out but there will be some final details.

 I'm really happy with it and I think it came out pretty solid.

 I'm working on some of the models that need touch ups or just things I want to add. On the Land Raider I added some more streaking to make it blend in with the rest of my army. I also adding the 19th on each side of the front.

 I also added the vehicle number 33.. on the back of the stacks.

I'm still playing around with the lights. I added some Tamiya Clear yellow to it and I'll be adding some white to the lens.

There are still a few models I'm going to touch up.. the Drop Pod.. some of the characters and I might try to finish out a Land Raider Proteus.. haha.. maybe. If I do start playing around with it .. it will only be a whatever. If it gets done cool... if not it ain't no thing.

Added two more pics.. almost forgot to add Corax to his own party! 8)

 The displayboard is nearing completion thankfully! I'll be so happy when it's 100% done haha.. I added in the Fellblade and Mor Deythan for scale as it's kind of hard to tell when it's just out in space.

 The board is big... probably a bit too big honestly but if I went smaller it wouldn't have looked right to me.. still feels cramped a bit but I couldn't make it any bigger then it already is haha..

 I added the side cladding to the walls and the Missile Launcher Bays which are finished but sadly I ran out of Aluminum paint .. I couldn't get anymore as I'll describe later 8) ..

 I also added the border plates to clean up the edges but I'm not 100% on whether I like the gold pieces I put on there. I might just paint them over with black when I paint the top edges I trimmed. I still need to trim the back wall once the cladding is glued on.

 I can't glue on the side battlements until the back wall cladding is done and attached.

 I also made these banners that will hang on the back wall. I was originally going to paint them on canvas but there is no way I'm going to have the time for all that so I just made one up in photoshop.. ordered some parchment paper and printed them.

 I also finished up the other missile launcher and the Comm Sat.

 The platform isn't glued together or finished being painted..

A close up of the banner...

And here is why I couldn't get more paint .. sadly last week I somehow sprained my ankle. Only thing I can think of is I was moving servers around at work and must have tweaked it. So I've been non mobile for almost a week. It's thankfully started to get better thanks to this ankle ice thing a ma jig. It really works! The swelling has dropped down so hoping I'll be fully mobile for Nova... I swear...

I'm close to done so should be all good as long as I don't jack myself up anymore .. 8/ .. but with me you never know! haha..
