Concepts to Completion page 4 now posted that brings everything up-to-date. Although I didn't post a picture of the completed Tau Tower as I wanted to include the taller version. However the recent XV80's Battlesuits are there with a decent completion photo to closely match the original concept I based the models on. I ended up taking a set of Eldar Striking Scorpions photos, but realised some of the bases were not flocked :( and a full set of new Eldar Firedragons, which I didn't look much better than the ones I already edited/posted. A bit of a waste of time sweating away taking photos in summer and the heat from two lamps!

Even though it'd be unlikely that anyone would rotate all guns down and spot one doesn't go as far as the others, it bothered me a lot! I tried using my scalpel, but didnt want to break the new point, tweezers didn't cut it... in the end I remembered this little tool I used to cut my Ironman models. It's an extremely small but sturdy blade and I managed to pry out the magnet. The hole I ended up re-carving looked a mess as I attempted the hand drill and scalpel. In the end I resorted to using green stuff to position the magnet in the mess of a hole I made. If only I was that eager to paint these tower.
The weapons on the tower are held on by magnets and I had to drill holes into the side of the tower to mount them. Three out of four were positioned correctly, but the fourth meant the weapon couldn't rotate right down. I just wish I tested it first before adding superglue :( Additionally the Tau feature at the bottom sides are done too. Just wondering whether to spray paint it or do more... or work on something else...
