From a Distance

Without glassess and an aging slightly fraying paint brush, I manage to do some chequered squares on my second Ghaz. I wasn't happy with the result, but they do look less flawed from a distance! However I don't think I'll be doing any more of these.

Defying Gravity

The final details added and painted with only the base to  do. This Ghaz with its stubby small legs holding up a large upper body and a backpack that could topple giants is complete! Its not the first time my legs are unproptional smaller than the upper body, the same mistake I made with my Tau Riptides. I think next time I should complete the body first before attempting the legs. At least this one got painted. It doesn't come out too well in the photos, but I painted copper wire on the broken shielding, the slightly frayed paint brush did wonders. I do like this model without the animal skull, but I'm also excluding it due to the lack of skill to sculpt one.

Assembly Required

Other than one horn and one back-pack pipe falling apart, the rest of the model was solidly glued together. I'm so glad I waiting to ensure the plastic bonded and dried while I made this. I'm also glad I left these in parts for painting as it made life so much easier. Although now the hard part is to try and glue it together without breaking anything or ruining the paint job. Unfortunately that is not quite the end as I still plan to add a few more detail... and potentially pry the head out to reposition it!
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.

Small Details

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...

Drying Out

I finally took the first step to paint my first Ork Ghaz and got out the Matt Black. One of the first few droplet bottle I purchased back in September 2016. Unfortunately the perfect liquid with enough pigment for a single coat became extremely watery. Opening up the top to look inside, I have globs of clumped paint. Surviving this long was probably amazing, but sometimes I wonder if the other paint I transfered into droplet bottles would be any good (not that I've used them). The Gobin Green although still good, was getting thick and I only purchased this back in September 2021.

The Mess

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.

Working without Glassess (1)

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.
