This means nothing "showy" has had any attention, but the Thousand sons have been slowly worked on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So without further ramblings, here's the new Dreadnought, finished in so far as I could be bothered for now. I may go back and add some freehand stuff, but that's a way off I think, not even sure if this highly detailed model would actually benefit from more business...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn55/telstar0101/Thousand%20Sons/RIMG0015-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn55/telstar0101/Thousand%20Sons/RIMG0015-1.jpg" width="325" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn55/telstar0101/Thousand%20Sons/RIMG0018.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="393" src="http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn55/telstar0101/Thousand%20Sons/RIMG0018.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn55/telstar0101/Thousand%20Sons/RIMG0017-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn55/telstar0101/Thousand%20Sons/RIMG0017-1.jpg" width="360" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've also based the Predator, because I just like the look, short tanks don't do it for me and with everything else in the army raised about a quarter inch I figured why not my vehicles?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn55/telstar0101/Thousand%20Sons/RIMG0019.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="363" src="http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn55/telstar0101/Thousand%20Sons/RIMG0019.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finally I figured I should include a group shot of the lot of them:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn55/telstar0101/Thousand%20Sons/RIMG0023.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="120" src="http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn55/telstar0101/Thousand%20Sons/RIMG0023.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'll try and get more updates in as the year progresses, it's unusual for me to not have any hobby related stuff on the run, so it's just a matter of me taking the time to post something really, hope you like :)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5271651008030473030-8797617119333458143?l=pushingpigment.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://pushingpigment.blogspot.com/feeds/8797617119333458143/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://pushingpigment.blogspot.com/2010/09/update.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5271651008030473030/posts/default/8797617119333458143'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5271651008030473030/posts/default/8797617119333458143'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pushingpigment.blogspot.com/2010/09/update.html' title='Update!'/><author><name>Sam Benson</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00735013530727849289</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_H8aUH1lS7Nc/S8sKxrGzgdI/AAAAAAAAAAY/JF9jta5vb5E/S220/P170509_19.38b.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn55/telstar0101/Thousand%20Sons/th_RIMG0015-1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5271651008030473030.post-2977586955371394233</id><published>2010-04-23T05:06:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-04-23T05:09:49.712-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Weekend workings, back to old projects</title><content type='html'>having attended a OzPainters workshop on the weekend passed, I thought I'd post an update on a long in progress figure.
