I may have dropped a bit of a hint last time, as to the possibility that another set of little yellow buggers might be next up on the paint queue.
The chunk of resin the the middle of the image above is the bit that was sat on my desk and after a number of years it is finally able to be fielded. In 2017 I stripped it back to bare resin and repaired some of the more rough and ready parts of it. Remember also that this one had been in my possession, unloved, for a couple of years before then… About time then I hear you say…
As I was playing on the yellow side of the street, I also managed to complete this small unit of five, heavy weapon wielding, Devastator Marines.
As they all have long range weapons they are unlikely to need be transported to the front line in the new Razorback APC, pictured behind them, but the option stands if they require a ride.
A lot of my time was spent this week building yet another 1:1 scale item. This time it was the smallest shed in existence. A big steel box would be a better way of describing it. That said, the good lady of the house has decreed that the garden decorations need to be stored somewhere safely over winter, so a tiny shed is adequate I suppose.
Not a difficult build if a little cold on the fingers.
Just in time too it would seem. The snow came down later that day and I suspect this will gave away how many months behind the blog is currently running. At least to all my UK readers. Two inches of snow fall and half the country fails to get to work again. (Oh, my mistake, we were in lockdown at the time, so most people were working from home anyway!)
I’ve always wanted a Imperial Fists army. Always scared to try to paint yellow!

Do what I did and cheat! A spray can will always give you the even yellow you desire. Just don’t expect to be able to get too many other colours on it for fear of over painting something and having to tidy up the original yellow…

That yellow really has come out well, on both the troops and the vehicles! 🙂 Now if all the garden furniture was to have “an accident” that mini shed would come in handy for you to use as an overspill area!

I was thinking it would make an excellent spray booth…

Great work on those- yellow is such a tricky colour.
Love the minished btw.
Cheers,
Pete.

Nice little shed, and I’m oddly in awe of the snow as well.

I am guessing you don’t get too much snow down there then. Every year a couple of inches covers the UK causing utter havoc. After more than 2000 years of it happening you would think we would be ready for it!

Yeah, there are places that get snow, but outside of the seasonal snowfields it’s not too common, and where I live it literally never happens, so the stuff we see happening in the UK and parts of the US aren’t something we experience – in fact I’ve never seen it in person myself!

Hard to imagine never getting snow. Just shows we take some things for granted all too easily!
When it comes to things to worry about: snow falling on my head and making my day more difficult or things that can crawl in and whose bite might put me in hospital.
I guess the weather in the UK sounds ok to me!

Good painting; yellow is always such a tricky colour to get right but you’ve done it nicely.
