Laz's Extended Waaagh
Update 9 - The Hairy Trikers
The Deffkilla Wartike proved not only to be deep in dust but also in hair, in preposterous amounts of hair. I tried brushing it off with some limited success, so I decided to go the whole hog and pry the model off its base, giving it a more thorough going over. Still, the hair persisted; some I think had been baked into the grainy primer that had been used by its first owner. I had also started to notice their severe lack of sprue excess removal and the pretty haphazard construction.
Second-hand models definitely come with their trade-offs, cheap but not always worth the hassle. I did what I could to remove the prue marks and made some kitbashes to cover some of the poorer construction. I used the compressor to blow off what would shift and then took the lighter gently to most of the surface to purge the last hangers on. It’s an Ork model, so perfection was never my end goal, just a little less fuzz. I glued back on the loose parts and hit it with some black primer; it will cover up a few of the imperfections.
The final parts of the Ork Combat Patrol have arrived, hurrah! Between the Snazzwagon and Boss Snikrot, I have plenty to keep me going! Hopefully I can get a few more pieces completed this Dakkacember! Waaaaaghh!
