Not hugely pleased with it, but hey! It was free, I reckon once some detail is added and some decals, it will take the eyes away from the overflowing glue etc<br />
<br />
Another thing I started tonight for the same army was to De-Dark Angel some Dark Vengeance marines by filing and cutting off the symbol and smoothing some green stuff over it to smooth the shoulder pads giving me this as a result<br />

<br />Behind them is the second Rhino which is in a worse condition and will be getting the same treatment tomorrow<br />
<br />
Have you guessed what army it is yet?<br />

So I thought I would share the 3 models I had forgotten about but now plan on finishing.<br />
<br />
So first up I have my metal inquisitor model, for when I finally get around to re painting my Grey Knights (No pictures of them as of yet) As I planned on running the odd inquisitor in my list<br />

Here is the second model I want to finish, it's an Empire Witch Hunter, which I would be using as a counts as inquisitor.<br />

I had a box of them handed to me for a project and this one was already painted up, so I thought, heck, why not just paint it, pleased with the outcome, might stick it on eBay though, even though I love painting, I hate cluttering up with models :P<br /><br />Currently I'm working on some Killa Kans for eBay, these aren't up to date pictures, but I have been experimenting with foundation paints for the first one after a friend producing a fantastic war boss on a bike which he say's he mainly used foundation paints to achieve.<br /><br /></div>

Quite happy with the blending on the spiky part, not so happy on the bit in between it and the vent, but hey, it's a W.I.P.<br /><br /><br />Anyway, welcome to my blog, cheers for stopping by.</div>
