Done some patching up to hide the god awful gaps in it.
Also lords of contagion are out of the bath and repatched (hopefully for the last time)

No real hobby work today, just organising!

The three little boxes are currently drying after adding rubber steel sheeting, and will be used as magnetic model storage.

I also won 15 old copies of white dwarf on eBay, because why wouldn't you? 😂

First has arrived, 14 in transit, and 2 more picked up cheap this afternoon.
When I get chance I want to go through my old collection. Sell off any duplicates (I seemed to have two subscriptions active at one point, so I have a few!) and catalogue those that I do have. A complete collection will never happen, but a guy can dream!

More shopping cart action today!
Two more of the Metal Color range on the way (Copper and Gunmetal Grey), and an Element order that's just been paid for.
I've decided that my skintone game isn't good enough, so after some tutorial watching I've got a few colours that I'm missing ready to have a go with. The Contrast range doesn't give bad results, but I want to try doing things 'properly' - skin is something I've never been good at, so let's maybe try and fix that! =]

Which colours are in there? You'll like them I think. Already airbrush consistency, insanely smooth on the brush, and really nice coverage!

I'll see what I can do 😂

Erm good question. Only just realises theres more than one set. I think its the metallic panelling one so dark aluminium, steel, silver and aluminium I think. I want them to bloody turn up but wayland must be holding them ransom

I'm assuming that either Vallejo has reduced production capacity and can't keep everyone supplied, or did earlier in the year and are struggling to get caught up again. Nowhere seems to have many (if any) in stock - I've picked mine up from two different places based on what they had. When they turn up though with those four you'll have a solid set, dark through to light. Honestly, as soon as they turn up just find something to throw them at - you'll understand why everyone says they're the only metallics you should ever own!

Edit: perhaps a new formula could be the reason?

(yeah, we have tweet integration 😎)
