Razorback & Rhino

Well, there they are... A Razorback and a Rhino done and ready. I took my hour and pretty much got most of it all done. I was so close to being done that I stayed up a little late to finish the job by finishing off the lascannons and doing a little highlighting. The funny thing is that I never feel particularly happy with my paint jobs when they're done and I'm looking at them, but when I photograph them and look at the picture, I tend to be quite impressed. Maybe I just can't see the little niggling things that I only I can see... Or maybe it's something else entirely. I don't know but it doesn't matter. They look good to me and that's what really matters in the end.

So, send me a little good luck auction karma... I found a guy on Ebay selling a lot of Razorback hatches and Rhino doors. About a year and a half ago, I bought some cheap Rhinos from the Warstore. Since they open up Razorbacks, Predators and Whirlwinds and part out the special sprues and parts, they probably have a lot of Rhino chassis sitting around. So they sell the left over Rhinos for cheap without doors (which they also part out). So I bought a couple with the intention of making doors out of plasticard (which I may still do later). If I win this auction, however, I'll outfit both of them as Razorbacks with convertible hatches so I can turn them into Rhinos as I did with this one. I might have some sponson parts floating around so I might turn one of them into a Pred since the top mount for a turret is the other side of the Razorback hatch. Thanks for your universal parts, GW!

What's next? I don't know. I may go back to the webway gates, but I'm not sure. we're getting ready for in-law visits and a 4th of July party so I'm not sure. Be assured, however, that something will get done... I won a Suppression Force a while back so I have a couple of Whirlwinds I could assemble... On the other hand, I could do the Speeder but I have four or five unbuilt speeders from 3rd Ed. so I'm guessing I won't get to those anytime soon...
