Delays

I had thought that my quick progress on the Baneblade would mean that I would have moved on to painting by now, however, like many projects, it seems to have stalled at the around 60% built stage, this time while I try and decide if I should cut up the engine plate to center the engine block.

The model itself is pretty great, with tons of pieces and moving parts, but it could have been designed slightly better to ease assembly. I need to finish up assembly, create a bit of interior for the tank commander, and then paint.

I also completed storage in the garage for my boxes of miniature related items, since the offspring is going to be using the space which was briefly a hobby room. As part of the move, I had to give up my "converting/building" desk, which is too bad. I did manage to build some of the Rogue Trader/Necromunda/RP figures I had planned on, so I should be able to finish and paint those sometime. That is always how it goes though, finish and paint... sometime.
