Building My Harridan... Warning PIC Heavy

[rpricew]

Picked this up a few weeks ago, I've cleaned it and magnetized it. Now it's time to add the stand and pin the wings. Quick upload of photos and I'll come back and help organize them tomorrow.

These are the drill bits that I used to drill out the pin holes. It is important to start small and work your way up to keep from cracking the resin. The jump to 1/2" drill bit was a little bit tense. Going slow paid off with perfect results.

Tools for the job.

Looks great! Pretty sturdy. I always liked the Harridan... if they updated the model, it would be better but oh well.

Will be watching this one!

Stayed up late last night to work on this guy. Base coated him yesterday and then started with the dry brushing.

Some random Pictures











Added some of the Bio-Matter to the cannons and the red trim for the mouth and eyes. The model doesn't seem to really have eyes, but I put some there anyway. I just like it better. Plus with my scheme I need as much color as possible. Still considering what other highlights to add. There are some other BIO parts on the wings that I may come back over.

Also considering washing the model and then coming back over with silver to create more depth. What do you think?
