And So it Begins

January

Hey all. So back in summer 2012 I bought a MicroMark mold kit for my projects. Kinda pricey but I wanted to at least start out with some half-way decent product. I will (hopefully) be using this to make silicone molds and reproduce some of my more extensive conversions.

The kit came with just about everything I needed. You have to make your own box to pour the silicone into, and LEGO's work great for that. Unfortunately, I left all mine in Moscow, ID and so I'm waiting for a package to arrive from back home with the essentials.

Tau is still my primary army but I've stalled out on painting for now and the Vespids are waiting on LEGO's. To maintain forward momentum, I bought some custom weapons for my Imperial Guard ally contingent that I'm not even certain I will use. Regardless, I couldn't resist these beautiful SCAR's and M14 sniper rifles sized for 28 mm models. The torsos at the bottom are a Russian forgeworld copy of Cadian shock troops in hostile environment kit, side/front/back.

I intend to give my troops lengthened skirts, imitating greatcoats. I'll have to sculpt those out of greenstuff. I'm also toying with the idea of altering their shoulder pads, or removing them altogether.  I intend for these guys to be mercenaries hired by my Tau contingent.
