Calling this guy done, now. My first Space Marine and model for my own 40K army in ~40 years. One of two Techmarines that will be attached to my Raptors Ironstorm Spearhead (hence the green and generally messy armour; adapt and overcome). I kinda went a bit over the top with chipping. I also don't care. I plan on covering the other units with scrim, ERA bricks, and all sorts. Cuz: Raptors.

Calling the diorama finished. I just need to leave it alone now. Don't mess with it, think of new things to add to it, add more drybrushing to the waves. And definitely. No. Seagulls.

This is going into the island Open Exhibition. I never thought of myself as an artist before, and it'll be sat alongside photographers, knitters, painters, and the like. Which is weird. But I feel pretty pleased. I learnt some stuff. I made some mistakes. I had fun.

Hey folks. Lemme see your craft room! (Yes even if it's a horrible mess).
I'm trying to figure out my own space and I'd love some inspiration for how other folks have it set up.
What do you like about our space? What do you dislike? How would you change it if you had a magic wand?

So it did seep a little, and the resin made contact with the foam on the side and bottom edges, which I didn't seal in the same way as the sand.

Seal everything with PVA. Then seal it some more. ALL THE SEALING! The exothermic reaction must have got really hot, as it's melted the XPS foam in places where the heat got to it.

So today will be filling holes, finishing the shieldmaiden, and maybe the cliff. Still, success!

Continued thread

We're looking okay this morning. The left side of the dio has bulged a bit and the resin seeped down the side (where land would be) but I can sand that back. A few bubbles (as per pic, the extra-shiny bits) on the seaweed but I'm pretty pleased overall. Plus, once i get the water gel on to texture some gentle waves, and touch it up with some white, you won't notice.

First ever resin pour. Send thoughts and prayers. 🤣

Assuming it survives the next 72 hours, I need to add waves, finish the cliff, add static grass, build up the sand around the boat, and finish off a couple more miniatures. I have a week before final submission date for the local craft festival...
