| Defenders of justice |
Work was a killer this week so just did stuff on the weekend again. Trying to get back in the groove I made up the figures for the Terminator Genisys game. These are designed for younger players and are all (slightly) snap together (although I used glue) and the base/legs/body are one piece. There are two terminator bodies with two weapons combos. So not much variety there when you have to make ten figures. I did a few head moves (cutting off the head and repositioning it) and converted two figures. One became a command unit (with some aerials on it’s back and one got two guns (it borrowed a gun from the humans).

| Crawlers |
The five crawlers I glued onto bases and gave one a knife just for variety. They never stop!

| So many pony tails |
The human figures have four body types, with seven arm options. However one figure is restricted to only two weapons. The arms are only designed to go in one position but if you slice off the tabs on the body that the arms fit into you can reposition the arms. A few figures lost their ponytails and one head got moved. Unfortunately the figures are very slim and the heads are tiny. So I couldn’t use any of the spare heads from other plastic figures I have.
They just need a bit of putty work and then off to be undercoated. I need to get back into the habit of painting during my lunch breaks at the LGS which is only 5 minutes away. A great way to churn though figures like these.

| Preshaded Dungeon Saga troll |
I started Dungeon Saga troll number two, trying the pre highlighting and then AP Strong/Dark tone washes. Looks much better with pretty minimal effort, so happy with that experiment.

| Tamiya AT gun crew |
Finally did a bit more on the WW2 German AT crew member. Forgot how to paint flesh and had to relearn that. I always end up too brown on the first attempt. I’ve resigned the AT gun and crew to the experiment list given the time I’ve taken to do them. It also subconsciously takes the pressure off knowing that they don’t have to perfect, rather I just need to learn new techniques from the project. Next up is the AT gun itself so more experiments here.

| Roman bust, aka terminator god |
Finally two second hand busts arrived. Unknown manufacturer on both. The Roman is lovely. The face is just superb. The Celtic figure is good, but the hand is the wrong one! The figure needs a right hand, but the one supplied is a left hand. It will be hidden by the shield so I might get away with using it.
