Review: Liquid Greenstuff
When I was in the Oxford Street Games Workshop the other day I picked up some Liquid Greenstuff. This sounds to good to be true. A medium you can paint on with a brush and it dries hard and can be sanded and scraped… Well,…
Thunderhawk: Pin to win
Tiny update from me today. The above pic shows the Turbo Laser with a piece of brass rod drilled into it. I thought this simplistic method of switching weapons would work a treat. I’ll use magnets for the heavy bolter wing sponsons though.

Thunderhawk: Early Dry Fit
Check out the size of this model in the first dry fit! It’s huge. I think I’m going to need a bigger desk. As you can see some of the parts aren’t fully cleaned up yet, but I couldn’t resist doing a dry fit and…
