Another hot day at home with thoughts for future projects

The dry spells are on!

It hasn't been raining for a month and I am stuck at home most of the days. The heat can just outright knock me out.

With nothing much to do at home these days, maybe I should join some competitions and all that, just to past time. One of which that caught my eye was a painting competition. If you all know by now my painting skills is considered still below beginners level. So I am still considering whether should I join or not.

If I were to join, it would be the Space Marines Fire Hawks Chapter with the updated colour scheme of more orange and a flaming hawk as the shoulder pad's symbol. The main thing about this chapter is that the symbol is hard to paint, unless you got decals printed for it specially or stencils. But I have neither. Thus I am working on freehand.

I had actually finished two Fire Hawks models weeks ago but they are still under test runs and not really the colour I am looking for. Hopefully I get the right colour soon.

I too am working on one of my Valhallan assault weapons blister, so you should be expecting them to arrive on your screen soon. And with the dryness here and me unwilling to step out of the house, I should be able to get it done pretty fast. The one with the meltagun is a priority as of how I had planned to paint it but not the flamer guy yet. But first, I need to head down to a local store to get paints some time in the weekend.

A quick question though, anyone of you have any ideas how to make a base that is the interior of a spaceship? I am considering using Kneadatite Greenstuff but the flooring with the details and all would be a problem.

Ah well, I should just go on with Kneadatite, but do give me some tips! I am still a very low level modeller that needs guidance.

With the rumour that the next edition of Imperial Guards Codex is coming out probably in April, my projects are currently on hold. Who knows what detailed and cool stuff they would come up with for the new releases. Maybe I should just go on with my next one, but who knows, I have made my painting priority for March. Maybe painting tutorials might be a good idea.

Hopefully it rains as a good weather always pushes me on to do better and get things done faster. The heat has really packed a punch into my brain. I used to work well in this kind of weather but I guess I need a change once in a while.

See you all later!!
