Here we go again
This week I worked a bit on my stage nothing big and bit more with playing around with LEDs
Since I realized that the red LEDs on the top were pretty lame and not bright at all I decided to go buy the brightest white LEDs and use them to light the stage. After soldering the wires up I realized that 2 AA batteries were not enough to power the 3 bright LEDs up. So I disconnected the batteries on the 4 red LEDs to power up the 3 bright LEDs. And success!
After that I finished my Doom of Malan'tai complete with head exploding IG
WIP
This is how I paint brain, or any internal organs
Reaper's Fair Skin, then wash of Baal Red

There we have it DoM, as always I think this turned out quite well, it came out a bit different than I planed. I initially have wanted to use spine fist arms on the top arm and have the tube leading into the head but after dry fitting it and reposing the arms and all it looked really dumb so I scraped that and just use the extra Trygon spikes as arms. Also the holes on the back of the head and carapace was supposed to have a tube connecting them but after trying to GS tubes that looks naturally hanging down and connecting to the back failed I decided it was too much trouble and can potentially ruin the look so I scraped that idea too. I used a bike base since it was the only base I had that would fit the DoM and the IG a good distance between them also the bike it came with will be used for terrain and such so might as well not waste it.
My next project will likely be my entry for the genestealer painting comp over on the painting board in which I have a pretty creative scheme that will require a tiny ass brush to pull off.
