Yeah, The only big holdover is the Vendetta have to wait for the FW order to come in. On the vehicle front, I've got the turrets of the Russes to finish up, The Dreads are now done, and the Rhinos are 3 colours already.
I'm hoping the FW stuff will be in the 1st week of Jan, that way I can base the Vendetta and get into the details! I won't have as much time during Jan and Feb to paint, so this was my big push.

So, are you painting the cockpit or going to have a black canopy glass? 'Cause once you go to get in there with a brush you're going to change your mind about a painted canopy lol.

I'm thinking for the cockpit I'm just going to keep it simple. Paint in the flight suit, shoulderpads and helmet on the dude, and drybrush some metal onto the panels and control. No need to go balls deep on something that won't be seen by 95% of people.

): I painted everything in my cockpits and then while transporting the glass bits tripped and fell and broke them. Now I have to attempt to get replacements for them...
Was much easier painting everything apart then assembling together. If/when you paint the metal plastic that goes around the canopy glass, prime and paint it before gluing it to the glass, will save you some time. Also note, that you can use plastic glue like for regular models between the clear plastic and the normal stuff no need for super glue so you don't get frosting.

Best thing to use on canopies is just simple white glue honestly. No melting, no frosting.

At the risk of sounding as an echo: The new vehicle scheme looks much better. Too bad they're not sleek sexy rhinos ;-)
