McFarlane 7" Space Marines Space Wolf - WIP

 Here's the other Space Marine figure - this time as a Space Wolves guy. Again, need to finish the pauldrons up with chapter icons.

This one has the stock head/helmet that comes with the kit. The basecoat is from a can of Army Painter Wolf Grey.
The figure is articulated and comes apart to ease painting. However, during reassembly the torso is a tight fit to get back onto the leg/waist ball joint. From watching a YouTube video, heating up the area with a hairdryer helps a lot.

EDIT: Finished the pauldrons. Painted them freehand, and happy the way they turned out. 

Just a little diversion before refocusing on hosting a Bolt Action Franco-Prussian War game next month at our "annual" convention, Enfilade. Annual in that it normally is supposed to be during the Memorial Day weekend in May. However, we skipped last year due to the lockdown, and this year's was pushed out to Labor Day weekend in September - again due to health concerns. Our gaming brethren up in British Columbia will likely not be able to attend as the border is still closed to recreational travel. It's supposed to reopen in a few weeks, but who knows now with the new concerns. The Canucks usually show up in force and host a multitude of amazing games - not to mention their wild gatherings late into the night. They will be sorely missed. Until next time, thanks for stopping by and wishing you all good health and happy hobby pursuits.

  2. Great looking fogure and the flat tones on the armour really work at this scale - great job!

    Cheers, Ross

    1. Thank you, Ross. I sprayed Krylon Matte over the figure - gives a kind of semi-satin finish. Warmest regards, Dean
