I'd love to be fully ambidextrous as numerous times I needed my left hand to grip the figure at a specific angle with fingers in certain supporting position so my right could do the detail. Luckily I've been trying to train my left hand for many years (using the mouse in left and even practice writing) that I believe helped in many situations with this model. This has turned out much better than I expected, I just need better method to make the arms and hands, as I always have to turn the hands into a pair of gloves. After making this model, I decided that I needed a crew of Orks to work in the Mek Chop Shop, so this won't be the last, but then I have so many models I'd like to make. Yet another project to add to the list.

As I was going to use two of the best weapons/tools on my Mekboy, I decided to make copies. I accidentally broke the circular blade so had to remake it. Not sure if the original looks better or the copy.
So I've been working on the Chaos Terminator more than anything, but that's due to the amount of details needed while the MekBoy doesn't. The Chaos Terminator's helmet looks bigger and that's going to annoy me enough for me to re-do the Warsmith's, unless the painting hides this (if I ever get around to it). It's also just slightly taller. So I thought I better take a photo before I cut my Chaos Terminator in half at the waist to lower it's height. Luckily the back of both these figures is still bare plastic.
There was two reasons that I decided to make two models at the same time. First to save green stuff so I can use any remaining stuff on the other model... fail. The second was while one was drying, I could work on the other... fail. Despite my issues with using plastic and green stuff, I still decided to try again as previously the two kept breaking apart. The Terminator in the middle looks like it'll turn out to be bigger than the first, but I've decided to plough ahead anyway. I even did the arch above the head just to see if I could. This started off as a full arm-less stick man made from plastic and it's already lost a leg. The Mekboy's shoulder pad also keeps coming loose and I've lost the cigar in its mouth, so I'm not sure how the stick legs will hold.
