The update at last!

 Hello,

a bit of a hobby silence here in Necroleadicon studio :D. I've been and still am sick since last saturday. Apparently it is nothing to worry about, but I feel different every day. It's always a combination of robot voice, runny nose, cough, a bit of a generally feeling weak, some sweating and a mouthful of pus. Never all together and never the same for two days straight, for some reason. I was in about same state last week of septembre last year, so I suppose it is just that time of the year.

I've decided I should give myself a kick and write a post about at least something, so I'm offering you my modern WIPs.

First, RGW 90. Or at least it was. I had it nearly done, but greenstuff started peeling of the rod. I've eventually scrapped it all off, it wasn't really good enough anyways. Will restart working on it ASAP.

 Minimi light machine gun. Since last post, I've scrapped the ammo pouch (I'm doing lots of cutting and ruining what has been done today) and cut of  the stock. I made at least 3-4 new stocks, that all eventually broke. At last I've invested money in overpriced 0.5 drills. I could only drill one hole, so that's what I did. Put the stock in and it came out today. Looks like I really need to invest in an actual superglue, because poundland one just doesn't work for things so important. You can see WIP stock next to it. It has a pin inside, so can be put on gun as easily as it comes off now.

 Heads. Working on 4. At least I was, then I destroyed one and am working on it again now.

Here is "old" pattern cover. It has two elastic cammo stripes behind which you'd tuck your grass or whatever.

 With sniper eyes, you can see there is a part of it missing on the back of the helmet. GS keeps peeling of my heads and it's driving me insane, really. On one of the heads, I've done it all three times, honestly.

 Second head, with glasses. It looks better in real, alas it's not nearly finished. Working on those is no fun, trying to match the standard, argh!

 And the "new" pattern. Almost done!

 You can see the fourth head here. It was going to be same as last one, but with glasses on face. Now I'll make it a special forces helm for a pack of spec ops  everyone loves.

 Lastly, the guns. As you can see I've made considerable progress (and if it's not visible, I really did!). They need some tidying up done, but I'm saving that for later. I'm not too satisfied with front ends, the cocking canal (where the cocking handle rides :P) looks horrible here, but once cast I think it should be better looking. I'm not too satisfied with grips either (last one with grenade launcher doesn't have it done yet) but I will probably leave fixing to the last if ever.

 Other side. I've done the upper half once but it came out all crooked and weird so I've cut it out.

The guns now need carry handle and scopes (I find scopes a murder to start somehow!), shorter barrel and cut off mag...then it will hopefully look good enough . I've found out that If I'd want to make it more accurate, I'd have to scrap those, take new AUGs and completely file or sand them...but I doubt it would improve the end result considerably.

Apart from that, I'm reading a book about Battle of Frigidus 394 AD and I'll certianly make a post about that, connected to my vision of gaming in "small" scales - 6 or 10mm

Thanks for looking, this blogging really helps with motivation!
