365 Days of Paint

Star Wars: Legion Painting Diary Build Diary The models that come with the game need to be assembled.  Unlike some of the metal miniatures from Infinity with 5-10 parts these are mainly 2-3 parts.  You should make a decision to glue the arms to the models or leave them lose and assemble afterwards.  Some of the sculpts make it difficult to get areas with a brush after its been glued.  Personally for me I like to glue everything together for better priming, zenithal lighting and if you make a mistake later with a gap it will be harder to fill and colour match.   In any case you should test fit all the pieces before glueing to make sure its flush,  the injection point for the mould is where the joint goes into the body.  On some of the models there was some extra plastic in the way to allow the model to be flush.  Take your hobby knife and clean it up a bit and test fit it again until its flush. After I glued the pieces in, I highly recommend holding it into position

Dear Diary.... On this week 13 through 15 of 52 I did: It's been awhile, a long while since I posted a Journal entry.  Mainly I have been really busy putting some spiritual parts of my life in order as well as learning how to build terrain and paint a crap ton of Star Wars: Legion. It's been a bit repetitive and I have completed half of my Core Set.  It took about 3 weeks for me to prepare, clean, base, and paint them up.  17 Miniatures in total.  Some with Custom bases made with Super Sculpy and stamped out using my Basius Pads. I also built some terrain pieces from Plastcraft and a few models from Revell that I think will go great with Legion on the tabletop. I have also been researching a lot on how to build gaming terrain, namely trees, hills etc.  I have some Hydrocal, Tree Armatures and I am ready to make some rock features and forests in the near future.
