Few of my piccies (Fri-Sat)

[Brother Meredith]

Some selected highlights from my 2 days at this year's BOYL - much love and thanks as always to the event organisers, participation game designers & GMs, catering staff and the friendly people I met and chatted to from the forum. It was grand meeting you in person.

My Grav Tank Melange finally has its intended Commander painted up! Gurney Brolin reporting for duty.


BTW does anyone else find the RTB01 stud pads a pain in the ar*e to paint?!? So badly defined, I end up making a splotchy mess of metallic paint and just hope for the best… Any advise?

On the plastic RTB01 they are a super pain because the sculpt is distorted to allow for ejection from the steel mold, so defining where they stop and start is a bit iffy. Although to be fair even on the lead models some of them are a bit random when it comes to shoulder studs, guess it adds character. I've not tackled any RTB01 for a good while although I do have some I was going to add to my Imperial Fists and I did pick out the studs on my lead ones so will face the same challenge myself at some point! I might be tempted to just do them the same as the shoulder pad to be honest!

Can’t help myself, just have to pick out those studs (even as a kid)… Think the metal models are a lot easier to define though.

plastics are normally softer then metals, even with the better tech today. Probebly cause of the cnc work tooling steel molds compared to just impressing a master into a silicon mold
