IKEA Cabinet, Building Gorkanaut, Some Ork Talk

6/18/2014

Comments

 
What a week!  Most of my free time went into continued reorganization of my painting/hobby area.  I worked on building a Gorkanaut, an Detolf cabinet, and excitedly read about all the upcoming ork releases! Not every blog post can be about finished models...I don't know how some of you guys do models so quickly!
Picture
My first major project was putting together the IKEA Detolf cabinet.  This a a rather inexpensive safety glass enclosure (which is pre-notched for lighting) that many hobbyist use to protect and display their models.

Until this point, I've had them sitting on an open shelf.  Exposed to dust...and my somewhat faithful companion Render the cat.

Picture
Render, or the knocker over of water cups, is my feline companion.  He likes to get up on cabinets and move my dice and miniatures around.

Picture
Now with the new cabinet, the finished mini's should be protected both from Render, and from dust and random housing elements.

Plus they look ultra spiffy in there.  Now just gotta move them all over in a concise manner.

When putting this thing together...please pay careful attention to the placement of the rear plastic sliders.  They will show you an imagine in the directions to point out it shouldn't be flush with the glass.  If you fail to heed this (as per greggles sop), you'll have to disassemble the glass sides to fix it.  Lets just say I'm glad this is made of safety glass!


Picture
On the ork side of things...I was finally able to get a runtbot!  I've been trying to snag one on ebay for years now.  Everyone always seems to be asking roughly 60 USD for one.  It's not the biggest of models (a large warboss sized perhaps, 40mm base), so I could never see paying so much for it.

Considering it costs about 40 USD just to get the model (cost of mini + gameday ticket), I bidded my time.  Eventually I got one at cost (not a recast for once!).

I'm planning on using this as possible mini deff dread, depending on how the new codex goes.  I'll probably assemble for painting soon, then hold off on the base work till I know for sure!

Picture
I've barely gotten any further on the Gorkanaut.  I did however gleefully notice you could slap some magnets on the inside of the door...without drilling.

That's right.  There is enough space to fit two small magnets on the inside of the door without drilling.  This keeps it from flopping around until you're ready to disembark.

You could place them in the plastic (by drilling), but then I feel that's not the best spot for them.  (if you wanted a cleaner look)



I hope to have a lot more progress by friday, so check back then to see my frustrations/joy with the model.

On the subject of orks.  The codex is just about to come out!  I'm so excited!  A great spot to catch up on the latest leaks is Grot Orderly.  He's been one of the primary sources of photos for the white dwarfs, getting them almost a week early.  Plus he's a 
Things I'm looking forward to in the new codex:

1) New Psyker powers! (I hope they're proper random and orky!)
2) Balance and Point Adjustments bringing the codex in line with 7th.  (It's been three editions, definitely needs some love here)
3) New options to deal with a variety of threats, instead of the same cookie cutter builds.
4) Plastic MEGANOBZZZZZzzzz (please be true).

Thanks for stopping by and visiting guys.  I'll try to have more interesting stuff for you on Friday.  Hopefully I'll have a bit more energy then instead of spending it all on cleaning and organizing :).
