Finished assault intercessors with jump packs plus captain with jump pack

thinking in gifting my dad some model planes for xmas and building them with him. He is 69 years old.

I have read that model building is good for retirees, would this be a good idea and this a good starting point?

This one took a while after a busy week
First kill team third edition yesterday. We had to stop at the end of tp2 due to sbahn delays. We will finish today but things aren't looking great for my orks

Also, I forgot:

- painted all the cork surface with white glue heavily diluted in water before priming

- bought a display case in the pjysical shop of https://www.zinnfigur.com/ that is just one block away

Some progress and learnings:

Glued the columns

Marked the spot where the minis will be glued, scratched the cork to help the superglue.

Smoothed the cork with milliput (first time).

Vallejo sand texture in the edges.

Basecoated the ground with diluted Vallejo earth with airbrush to prevent grey spots in case the basing materials fall.

Painted the columns with airbrush using army painter ancient stone (first time).

Minis primed and ready for paint.

Took a pause in warhammer stuff and started working on this Persian Infantry models for the father of my partner before they go back to Iran
