Sons of Horus Contemptor

I had a friend find a Sons of Horus Contemptor at a convention two years back I think it was. ON our way home he thought about it and offer it to me for what he paid for it so I said yes.
I had this one sitting around and I thought it was about time I did something with it so I worked on the legs and based them.
The torso which is just sitting on the legs in the picture I realised that the shoulder pads had been glue on the wrong sides so I had to figure out how to remove them to fix up this issue.

I used nail polish remover to get the shoulder pads off the miniature. I had a spare foot which I left in over night with no issues to the resin. After 30 minutes of the torso being in I touched it and damaged the top of the exhaust on the model. I pulled it out right away and the up shot being I lost the ridges around the exhausts a some of the fine detail got a little smudged but got the pads off..

Must be the fun of buying second hand goods..

Guess I am going to have to up my game and try rust, salt chipping and battle damage..

Still have to get some magnets too as I have never tried that before...


Orlocks Underway

Well the Orlock Necromunda gang I am painting as a gift for a mate is started and the first 10 are complete.
I am happy with the way they came out just about 18 more to go.. So glad I love Necromunda..
