Also, I'm dumb, immediately after posting this I realised my mistake on the title. Work in progress progress. I'm tired! Next thing I will be saying ATM machine.

Thanks! That is so helpful! I wondered if they may have been Firehawks beforehand. I really like the colours but I'm not a huge fan of the hotrod flames haha!

Good point about what materials to use, I have some jewelry chain that I tied around a Khaos marines arm previously, but zip ties are such a good idea.

I will have to watch that video and figure out what paint stripping is available in Aus.

I think I like them for orks or vehicles but not as much on armour but I can see the appeal. Quartered could be interesting!

Funny! I read it as a Pokemon X Aztec reference with Rayquaza and Quetzalcoatl combined. Either way, it is a cool name.

Thanks mate! Will do! I couldn't stop thinking about painting while at work today, this project has made me really keen to paint.

Great quote! I loved the movies since I was a kid so it was a real dream come true to see Hobbiton.

Thanks! I love your username btw

Two great things to be into!

They never do!

Haha that's another good one. PC computer.

Thanks, I am really happy with how it is going so far.

Thanks! The shield was really fun to paint!

Yeah, I used pigment powder, but I have also tried using crushed up pastel sticks and that seems to work well too.

Good point! I had positioned it so it fit, but then I added the grass and realised I have covered the bit where it sits right haha.

It was 100% worth it. The pic was just an extra. Being a huge LoTR fan made the trip to Hobbiton our top priority on this holiday.

Very true!

Thanks! I edited it now!

Thanks, that is very nice of you to say!

I have a bits box but it was just for the extra parts from the models, I will have to start hoarding little objects that seem useful now!

Detol is a great idea and easy to get, I will try that next time.

Another vote for Howling Griffons, maybe my chapter can just not have hot rod flames!

I will order some green stuff now.

Thanks again, so much good advice!

I have no idea haha. I only started around this time last year and even then, I had so much anxiety about getting it right that I have only managed to paint a handful of models in that time.

I'm just kind of winging it but it seems easier to get to all the little hard to reach areas this way.

Thanks!

Sick, thanks!

Thanks! And I know, but it was just a little bit of fun, the little hobbit hole was a decoration inside one of the houses.
