My 12 years old glasses was finally replaced with a new pair that gave me clear distance vision. Unfortunately it meant I couldn't foucs as well as my old pair when painting. Hence all this was done without glasses.
With the black bit more fluid with some Airbrush Thinner I purchased a while back, I got painting. The first Ghaz's face painted before I add the spike panels around the front. I thought I would obsecure the head, but the angle of the collar armour meant they protuded outwards more than straight up and I made them a little too short. I'm tempted to remove them and make them larger. However I'm trying to hold back from trying to replicate the original down to the smallest detail. So decided to leave it for now...
There's not been much progress this week and my table is a mess with bits left over from the original scraps. I'm at the point where I need to start painting it so I can add the final touches. Although there is still the animal skull that I haven't decided whether to do or not. However this could also wait after I started painting and assembling them. So after this post, I'm hoping to sort these scraps back into my sorted scrap piles and ponder on how to proress the next step.
I've been taking my youngest son swimming and my eyes are full of chlorine making them tired and hard to focus, forcing me to take my glasses off. Although it made things easier, especially while trying to add a nose and ears to my original concept, however once i needed to find something not in front of my nose, I couldnt see. Mixing greenstuff with plastic wasn't easy and I was drilling a hole into a 1.6mm rod with a 0.5 drill bit so I could stuff greenstuff inside to get a more secure hold for my horns. This task was made harder as my Drill bit holder couldn't hold something this thin, so I had to hold the 0.5 drill bit between my fingers. The three balls are intended for the rear of the backpack, one just a ball while two others I tried something different. In hindsight, I should have just waited for it to dry and cut it in half before glueing it onto the round thin plastic. The remaing green stuff was made into a skull, although potentially too small to mount on the of my three Ghaz and looked more like an alien rather than some animal skull.
