really fancy building and painting some Orks
I always struggled with shading green skin.
Anyway, my Primaris Dreadnought has been built and undercoated! It took over a month, but the amount of filing, sanding, cutting and filling, and sanding again got silly towards the end. And there are still one or two small areas I'm not 100% happy with, but sod it. I'll paint it in 4 separate pieces then glue together.
I'd rate the model 5/5 for the finish, but 1/5 for the ease of construction. As a modeller, it was pretty terrible.
I also knocked up a small balsa wood corner plinth for me to keep the model parts in place while I paint them. Saves me holding the model with my mucky fingers and it's very light.
