Now that the Holidays are over and I am finally done with the job search I can try to get some more work put back into modeling. To keep myself in touch with the 40k universe I have been reading the Horus Heresy novels while waiting for the next Nightlords one to come out. For those that have not read these books they are great. I know where they will end up ultimately since I am familiar with lore of 40k, but I still could not help but root and cheer for Horus and the Luna Wolves. Currently I am in the 3rd novel and I love it.
On the modeling front I have pretty much finished of my Warboss.
Gornaz started life an AOBR model. I added a custom made Big Choppa in place of the powerklaw. He also has a Shoota/RokkitKombi-Weapon. I had fun changing up his Bosspole which necessitated a small change in the backpack that he has. I added in a small choppa in place of one of the shotguns that he had.
Also I wanted to let everyone know that they can donate money if there is not an Item that they are interested in. I am helping with the cake from Spatula City Cakes. LOL I know that makes you want to run right out and bid on that one.
Any help that we can show this family would be awesome.
I wanted to share a link that I thought would be very helpful this time of year. This is for a family that has gone through quite a lot in the past several years.
In 1996 Jenny was diagnosed with breast cancer. She fought through and they thought that it was beat. It came back in 2003 in her spine. She endured more chemo and treatments to push through and survive. Again they got past. 2007 the cancer resurfaces in her lungs and spine this time. She is continuing to fight!
For those that know someone that has gone through this battle you know how it can burden a family. Jenny’s daughter has set up an auction to help with their holiday. Please take a moment to look and see if there is something that you could use or possibly give as a gift this holiday. The link to the auctions is http://helpingjenny.blogspot.com/
The locations of items are set in Mesa/Tempe, Arizona; Salt Lake City, Utah; and Pasco, Washington.
Thanks for looking The Mad Mek
PS. Next post I will have some WIP shots of the AOBR Warboss I have been working on.
