Bank Holiday Reaver day!

Hi all. 

I have a day to see how far I can get with my Reaver. Sooooo, follow me throughout the day to see how far I get!

08:50 various components assembled. 


09:30 basecoats done




10:50 As this Engine was a 2nd hand Engine from eBay it was in quite a mess when it arrived 4 years ago (which is obviously quite disheartening). All of the toes and thigh joints were in the wrong position and had been thoroughly stuck with a strong epoxy. 
I have just finished re-assembling. 



 11:45 additional spraying complete






13:05 Martian Ironearth added to give paint chipping away effect. 




Reds done. Gal Vorbak>Word Bearer>Angron Red






13:50 blacks done. 








13:55 Bugmans


14:50 Brass base done. 




16:00 1/4 Gold Trims done. 


18:10 More trims done. 




21:00 Legs trim done!!





That’s it. 12 hours. 

Thanks for following me today.

  3. Looks fantastic, mate.... uuuugh, and I've been holding out on buying a God engine and now my discipline is wavering. The martian ironearth is a really interesting notion that I've never heard of and certainly never considered. I may have to give it a try some time.

    1. It’s pretty good at getting that old vehicle effect. Add some rust powder and it looks effective.

    1. Thought I would try to bring 4 Engines instead of 3.
