One of the first tools I ever bought was a size zero Philips screwdriver.
I got it when I was 9 so that I could take my GI Joes apart & reassemble them as frankendolls.

Thanks to the kids being on Easter holidays, I’ve made no hobby progress in the past 10 days or so, but I’ve just written up a couple of posts on previous progress for April: my six painted Gladitorium Primes and progress on my Yndrasta kitbash:

Rather than _just_ whinging on here, I’ll talk about something creative.
I’m working on another kitbash modelling project. It’s got all the details done, with the next steps being refinement and so so much sanding.
With big thanks to kind advice from @dmcgk

@erikcats I ran a wash of Iyanden Yellow over the whole armour which has it looking better already.
No time tonight for more than that, but I'm feeling more positive now and ready to block in higher contrast highlights (hopefully tomorrow) and make some more progress.

As somewhat expected, I hit the wall of it looking like I've totally messed the effect up last night.
Not sure whether to push on in the hope/belief it'll all come together in the end, or start again.
Leaning towards starting fresh...

Getting to the scary bit now: adding highlights for the NMM effect.
Who knows how this is gonna turn out! I’ve chosen such a complex model for a first attempt, but I’ve gone far enough that I’ll give it a good go.
#KitBashing #StormcastEternals #MiniPainting #PaintingMiniatures
Using a custom kitbash Yndrasta is the best place to try NMM for the first time, right?
Right?
😬
I had the silly/perhaps unoriginal idea of trying to recreate the Yndrasta pose from the Dominion rule book cover art.
I’m not going to get anywhere close to a replica but I’m pretty pleased with this so far as an inspired-by pose.
Still not sure whether to keep her attached to the tree her cape is molded to, or to cut it out and build a totally new scene. I also need to choose something(s) for her to be attacking.
