Rogue Trader Rhino Crew Space Marines - Finished

In between a bit of surgery on my son's guitar (installing an electric pickup in an old archtop acoustic guitar!) i managed to get these guys finished off.

I think they're ok, they add a bit of character, and my son's happy with them. Now i have a reason to move the Rhino further forward in my painting queue! 

Rogue Trader Rhino Crew Space Marines

Been really busy this week, so progress on my projects has been a bit slow. The Rhino crew marines have come on a little, here's another WIP shot.

I'm hoping to get these boys finished tommorrow, so hopefully i'll be able to post some more shots...

One of two subjects on the workbench at the moment is these guys. We've had them for some time now and finally i'm getting round to putting some paint to them.

Primed in grey, with flesh areas base coated and washed. I'll put some more progress shots up as soon as i can .....

Perry Miniatures North American Store - Interior

In the last few days I decided to make up a few small pieces to add to the exterior of the store. Having looked at some of the small bits at Black Cat Bases i bought a selection of their 28mm scale bottles and brooms. These look even better in the 'flesh' and i hope you agree they look good on the counter and shelving i made up.

I tried to keep the size of the furniture to a minimum, but still large enough to keep in with the theme of the building. Their is still room for skimish miniatures to move around, and not being glued they are removable.

I hope you like what i've done.... I'm itching to start a new project but not quite sure what to do. I have a few ideas but i'm welcome to suggestions of terrain or buildings you'd like to see.

Perry Miniatures North American Store & Farmhouse

They're both painted up and I'm really pleased with how they've turned out. I'm planning on adding some more details to the inside of the store, but i'm going to leave the Farmhouse as it is. I hope you like them...

The chimney came out well, i think the little bit of kit bashing was worthwhile exercise.

I wasnt planning on keeping the farmhouse, so i'll be putting it up on ebay in the next few days. Feel free to PM me if you're interested in getting it from me direct ....Thanks for you're comments on my previous postings, it helps make these projects that little bit more fun...

Perry Miniatures - North American Store & Farmhouse

Just a quick post with a couple of pictures of the store. I'm relatively pleased with how its going so far, i haven't started on the roof sections yet and the deckings needs a bit more detailing.

Not quite sure what sign to put up over the awning, i was thinking of making it a general store, but i'm open to suggestions. I'm also thinking of making some removable furniture inside; maybe a counter and some shelving, not too much to take away skirmish space, but just enought to add the the shop feel.

Perry Miniatures - North American Store & Farmhouse

I picked up the Store and Farmhouse at Salute, so i thought it was time to put these kits together.

American Store first.....

Good old lego helped hold things square and acted as another hand !

On the whole the parts fit together relatively well but i wanted to add a little bit to the basic kit. A bit of Wills planking sheet went down for a floor,and a few matchsticks added some timbers to the verandas. There is a roof on the front porch but I've left it off just to help the paint job.

Next the Farmhouse ....

Its pretty much the same building except the front wall is different, with this having a chimney end wall. Dry fitting the wall to the other fixed parts, i didnt really like the 'unchimney' effect. (not sure if thats even a word but the picture should show what i mean!)

Luckily the Store kit came with a spare chimney end wall, so i set about making an internal chimney. It was pretty straight forward really, just a bit of cutting, sanding and gap filling with greenstuff.

  

Glued in place i think it adds a little something extra and was worth the extra time.

Roofs on both buildings are removable and had struts to give them a bit of strength.

Here's both buildings assembled, hopefully I'll get the primer on tommorrow and make a start with basic basecoating
