Citadel Spray Gun - First Impressions

Well. So far I don't really like it.

It covers well and covers evenly, when it works properly, which seems to be less than 50% of the time spent holding the trigger down.

The paint nozzle is built according to the Eddie Izzard theory of toaster and shower turnybuttonthings, in that the correct position for the nozzle to be set to seems to be very small and finding it is mostly a matter of trial and error. The propellant gets really cold, really fast which means it doesn't spreay properly. The paint pot keeps falling out of the gun while I'm using it, meaning a one-handed job... wait, that came out wrong... meaning a task which should require only one hand suddenly needs two hands to be accomplished.

I'm going to perservere with it because without it (or something similar) I will never, ever get 40 skeletons and 80 zombies paitned. Also I shall search the intertubes for tips on how to use it properly because one thing's for sure simply following the instructions in the GW Offical YooToob Video(tm) is not sufficient.

Five Orks Finished!

Hurrah! After much procrastinating I've finally got five whole Orks which are suitable for use on any battlefield. Again, hurrah!

I also have resumed work on my Deff Dred and have made a new bionik arm for my Warboss on account of the old one no longer being rules legal.

Unfortunately the inbuilt SD reader on my PC is a force of pure evil and decided to wipe the card rather than letting me transfer the photos of all this wonderfulness onto my harddrive.

So images of my work will have to wait.

Slight Fail

Iszy needs my anglepoise lamp for her college work.

Bum.

Well, at least I've started painting. This is more than I have ever managed before.
