Today I got a parcel with two Tamiya Tomcats in 48th scale.
The one on top has a piece of carrier deck and crew, which could make an interesting build and base.

USS Enterprise CV-6 – back from the grave
I started this build a long time ago, and have done a bit here and there during that time, but lately it’s just been sitting in a box on a shelf.
I had need for a box to put my orcs in so I decided to finish this build and thus emptying the box.
I glued the carrier deck to the hull.
Then I added the decals.
I then started to sort all the small detail like the planes and cranes.
Missing are the 2 life boats and the last plane whose wing was missing at the time I took the pic. The wing tip was in the box, I just had missed it.
I’ll sort the boats and the plane and then do some touching up and maybe a little weathering.
Then I’ll consider this build finished!
Orruk Ardboyz goes TOW
For me TOW (The Old World) seems more interesting than Age of Sigmar, so I decided to remake my ard boyz to black orcs. I also found a few figures in the Start Collecting box that thought could be useful. So I built one Shaman/Wierdnob and three böack orcs/grunts on boars.
Cruel looking orcs on boars!
I also decided to repaint my orcs to better fit what I had in mind for my Orc TOW army.
So I used Slaughter red from Speed Paint and painted over the yellow, Leaving yellow in some areas.
I then painted weapon and other details in different colours, using black metal for the weapons and armor. I added some yellow triangels on the armor and will do that on the other ones as well.
On the boss I kept the black shoulder pads with yellow pattern. He’s the boss after all.
I’ll paint the remaining 11 orcs in the same manner and I also think the boar riders will have the same paint scheme.
Spartan Assault tanks – Legiones Astartes – Games Workshop – final reveal
Here’s some pics of my finished White Scars Spartan tanks!
I’m happy with how they turned out, and they fit well with the Thunderhawk in the same paint scheme.

I got a package from Games Workshop with stuff for my Bretonnian army.
The decals looks very nice, which is more than one can say about the boring standard boxes they send some of the stuff in.
Spartan assault tanks – part 4
I did some weathering with mud, sooth, black oil and chipping.
I think I’ll consider them done and will take final reveal pics asap.
EE Lightning – part 4
After a clear cote, I removed the canopy and glued what I guess is part of the opening mechanism on the inside. Then some actuators got both aluminium and chrome paint.
The tires was touched up as well.
The pylons was painted grey, but I’m not sure that is correct. According to the tab and corresponding hole on the rocket the pylon will sit like this.
I hope that is correct, as it’s hard to see exactly how it sits on the pics I’ve seen.
Bretonnians – part 4
My questing knights arrived today from GW. Sadly in a standard no descript box.
I opened it and cut lose the parts. The horses and bases are plastic and the knights are white metall, as can be seen in the pic.
No instructions what so ever! Not many parts so not so very hard I guess. I think I need to pin the arm on the knight in the middle.
One strange thing is that the army builder says 5 and there don’t seem to be any option to lower it. That means I should need 2 more, and I’m not sure I want another box of these!
EE Lightning – part 3
I noticed that I had missed painting a few spots like the black on the fin and one antenna (I think it is)
Then i repainted the grey a bit on the fin.
It looks a little bright, but with clear cote on it turned out quite okey.
Then on to the decals. They go down quite nicely, but the print is a bit off, at least the white background.
I still need to do the other side and some stencils are still missing. I’ll let this dry a bit and then do the other side.
I got the advice to buy new decals, but for some reason didn’t follow that advice.
Maybe if I get hold of this kit again, I’ll get some better decals, as there are quite a few nice paint schemes available.
