Who Needs Arms Anyway

Well, today I finished the organising of the garage - mostly - and it is now a usable space for 3D printing and storage. While doing so I dug up some partly-built stuff that P didn't want any more, so I put together a Chaos Knight Desecrator (I think - big ol' laser cannon, giant power claw thing, apparently that's a Desecrator) and am looking at a bunch of sprues that I think will produce an Armiger with melta cannon and chainsword. Maybe two of them if I can find some of the parts that appear to be missing. 

The workspace - on the left, armies and unfinished kits and unpainted models, on the right, boxes of sprues and scenery. In the middle, the washing station and Mars 2 Pro 3D printer, still in the little plastic bags that they came in
 

I made a bit of an error building this. I didn't realise that the arms won't fit on once the should plates have been attached, and so now in order to get the arms on I will need to cut away the attachment lugs on the torso and glue the arms in place. Mildly annoying but not the end of the world. I also attached a spare Mortifier onto the upper carapace for a bit of Evil Flair

I also put some bases on the painted mercenary battlemechs I did a while ago, although they do need flocking and the like. At the moment they're just bare black plastic:


It's a terrible photo but it doesn't really matter, these four mechs are now the proud owners of bases and a better photo will appear tomorrow after I've properly completed the bases with flock and infoplate details such as STK-MAC and so on

Actually a very productive day. I have a little list of stuff to get before I can get printing properly (not least of which is resin!) so I'll be ordering that once I've got a little more disposable income and then it'll be off to the races. Or at least the trial-and-error stuff before the races.
