With a good black primer on the model I can begin to work on the painting.  I begin paining all my warjacks the same way buy picking out all the medal bits on the model and painting them either gray or brown depending on what I plan to put there.

New Warmachine League

New Warmachine League
Our local meta’s new league started last night.  It was a fury of games being played.  I didn’t manage to get any pictures taken but managed to play three great games with mixed reselts.

Funny

I found this really funny and thought I'd share.

Ok, time to start work on the actual Beast 09 model.  This model is in fact, a beast to put together (yes pun was intended).   To start off with, the Beast model is still a metal miniature.   No plastic update that I have seen in it's near future.  Normally I prefer painting and modeling metal over plastic but in Privateer Press’s case, warjacks are tough models to get looking right. 
 
After some extensive work with my files, I was able to smooth out most of the mold lines.  Now came the hard part which was fitting the major pieces of the model together and then ensuring no seems or gaps are evident.  As you can see from the pictures below, a lot of work went into covering up the gaps.  I used a small amount of green stuff the help fill the gap, the smoothed it out using liquid green stuff.  I really like using the liquid green stuff because I can sand and file it down to get a smooth look in the end.

I hope everyone out there had a really good New Years.  Well it’s been a miserable week.  First week back to work after an extended holiday is always tough.  To top it all off I think I may be catching a bit of a cold and so I’ve not even gone near the painting table since Monday.  
To continue where the last post left off, I got the basic base together and painted.  Here are the results;
