October Hobby Summary

Due to various issues (aka life) October has and will probably continue to be my hobby low point for this year :(

Luckily my exam schedule means that I will be free in time for the GW November release. The following video makes my spine tingle. November Teaser this really re-inspired me about potential new background material and was a nice break from the internets overwhelmingly negative droning. In preparation I have demoldlined ~40 Necron warriors. The pieces are currently in individual zip lock bags in case I can integrate some new parts with them soon. Otherwise they will very quickly go together as is.


I got around to fixing the air leak in my airbrush setup. Using my ear and then a sprayer bottle of water I found that my pressure regulator/moisture trap was leaking through all 3 connectors.

 Those parts where you can currently see blue used to use white Teflon (plumbers) tape. One of the problems I noticed when disassembling this configuration was that the white tape was being torn on the tops of the thread when the connectors were fastened.

 The solution was some $2 Fix-A-Tap that I picked up from bunnings. (previously I was using $1 generic Teflon tape from supercheap auto).

This seems to have worked perfectly. I tightened everything back up and ran my compressor to fill its tank...1 hour later there is no significant drop in pressure. Prior to this the compressor would have had to kick in ever 10 minutes or so to top the pressure back up.

Otherwise I have been looking forward to playing with the Alclad metalics again. I undercoated my Deciever model and am considering using the Titanium gold.

The Ultramarines returned from their tour of duty almost unscathed. Almost meaning that somehow one of the land raider front doors was pried open which should be an easy fix.
