Something old, something new?!

Hello people, just checking in to let you guys know the blog ain't dead.  Recently proposed to the other half so have a lot of planning to do and baby due in 6 weeks!!  So enough with the excuses.

The grey knight commission if really coming along but i dont want the client to see the pictures until they are done, (yes he's a trusting friend.) But when its done ill be getting some pro help to show them off properly with a couple of sneaky ones thrown in before.

As for other bits i've decided on a long term project for myself as the arrival of other before mentioned responsibilities means that painting will happen as and when im allowed by baby and the Mrs.  Its going to be a Red Scorpion army and as money is tight it will be army building on a budget utilising swaps on forums, ebay and existing bits box.  Forge world bits will be accounted for from birthdays and xmas hopefully, so as well as the painting tutorials, my costs will be included so you can see if you can beat my thrifty 40k-ing.

Caestus Assault Ram

Ok guys this model was bought when it first came out and wont see paint for a while but in the evenings when the absence of light prevents my painting ive been putting this together.  IT IS A PAIN!! One of the worst made FW have produced.  As you can see by the gaps ive had to fill, not to mention the amount of resin i had to dremmel off when attaching one og the nacelles.  The filling is at the sanding and fine tuning stage. When paint does touch it (a while away to be honest) it will be a Red Scorpion paint job i think.
The control surfaces and magna melta will be painted and added separately.
