This log will be going dark for a week and a half as I will be involved in some real life stuff.
Unlike my steel legion log, this one will be returned too when I am finished! |

| All of the weapons are magnetised using 2mm magnets embedded into the hull and the weapon section for a good tight grip. The magnetic adaptors I got from Ninja Magic have some very specific advantages, the teeth insure correct facing with the base every time and prevent rotational slip. In addtion t... |

| Well it was a good weekend all round, got all the bases completed and varnished properly on Friday night and if you look closely at the stalk on Bulwark of Faith you will see a small embedded magnet for the cherub banner, which will eventually be added to all the others. However I stopped working ov... |

| You make perfectionist sound like a bad thing Horizon? I did manage to file down the Golden Targe and Bulwark of Faith bases using an extremely fine sand paper. I removed the crinkles, touched up with black paint and then re-varnished using Vallejo Silk. I left them to sit for 2 hrs. till they were ... |

Then I hopped into Photoshop and started making a maste... |

What about this change to the Decal ...
Minor improvements .. the white circle is the cut line for the scissors and no trace of it should remain when cut |

| Before I played around with Cherubs (and boy does that sound wrong when I reread it) ... I had planned to do some self produced water slide decals for my bases. Now water slide decals come in two flavours, either a clear or white backing depending on your whether your decal has bright or white colou... |

Oh I had that with my Steel Legion Project ... real life dragged me away, but I realised I had attempted too big a project.
That is why this project is scaled appropriately and staged so that I *DO* complete something (even if not all the stages complete). |

One of my stated aims was to COMPLETE something (I am terrible at doing that) ... so this is important for me. I want a BFG fleet I can play with and build easily.
It should not take too long to do and once complete will let me focus on the Battleship! |
