As I was filling the new IKEA display cabinet with miniatures I realized that my old Iron Claw goblin chucker was in poor shape. Not sure when but at some point in time it appears that I lost the catapult arm. Clearly I was aware of this because as I dug through a bits bin I found an extra one! My memory of the whole event is very sketchy but I'm glad that I was smart enough at the time to order a replacement one from the old Bitz Service that Citadel/Games Workshop used to run. For those that lack the requisite amount of grey in their beard, you used to be able to buy any part of any metal model that they made. This was an incredible service that lead to unlimited opportunities for conversions! I dont always say this but in this case I do miss the good old days.
I digress, back to the project. Clearly this was a bit of a later era paint for me as the quality is better than some of the other OwtO projects I have in the queue. Here are a few of the Old pictures
My biggest concern was trying to match up the wood colors to the new arm so I just decided it was time for a re paint. Here we are stripped down to naked lead
And here they are queued up for painting
Let the painting begin! Base coat on everything and in some cases a 1st highlight
Next WIP soon.
