Continued progress in Sci-fi

Over the Jubilee weekend I managed to pick up the virus of unknown origin, which was a bit of a arse to be honest. I had survived over 2 years as a key worker and not picked up even a sniff of it! My main symptoms were a rather snotty nose. We missed out on the local Jubilee celebrations and a copy of other party invites due to not wanting to infect anyone else and not wanting to be “looked” at being out and about. Although the current rules are there are no actual restrictions, it does suggest avoid large gatherings … but I do have to go to work on Monday. 

In our self imposed semi isolation I did manage to paint some furniture for thing 2’s bedroom and the garden (still have to do some more of that). 

Today I put together some old GW imperial guard weapon systems with some press-moulded Starship Troop feet. 

Flame thrower, missile system and heavy gun. 
A gun thing and a mortar. I made the press moulds for these years ago and DK picked up a bits box of guns (might be 10 years ago) so I thought that I should actually try to finish these off. They are going to need little bases and some filling. 

I have also been fiddling around with mantic’s industrial set - the raised walkway is causing me some problems … I might need to think about to “raise” them. The plan is to spray black and then gun metal - but I need to assemble the newly purchased  Necron Deathmarks to be able to get value for money out of the spray cans. 

I am also looking at selling off most of my Primaris Space Marine (except 6 which will make an Intercessor Kill Team and the Phobos Space Wolf team which is still on its spruce), but not before I have a game of Xenos Rampant with the Marines versus the Bugs of Starship Troopers.
