So just got this the other day. Usually I do one of two things with a new purchase:
- Take it out of the package, play around with it, dry assembly etc then get distracted and not put it away and just allow it to gather dust, and or loose parts
- Add it to a pile of unopened items to be built later.
Instead I did the rarely seen third option, I assembled it right away, and primed it!
It was such a nice looking model that I could not wait to build it, so I did! Now consider that it has been months since I have done any miniature gaming activity to speak of. Certainly I have not used any paint or glue since the spring. So why now?
I had to get off my ass, and get going on something or chuck it all in! The fact that this was a very easy quick build did not hurt. Everything went together very nicely, and the instruction sheet was quite clear.
So far all I have done is a primer and base coat. The primer was a Krylon black, the base coat was a mix spray of space wolves grey, and uniform grey, both by Army Painter. The model looks a lot more blue in person, than in the pictures that I have attached. I will be using this for a VSF Prussian army so a blue tint works for me.
Not everything has been glued. To facilitate painting the model, I have left off the extra wheels, the gun and carriage are separate, as is the carriage and the wheels.
