A Rehab addict's bag of tricks
(or how I learned to stop worrying love the bits bag)

New Refit hangar
(or Why moving offices can be fun)
There has been very little refit work done over the past two weeks as I've been shifting the location of my facility (aka office). Acquiring a much larger space for hobby work in the house has been awesome, but digging a ton of crap out of a closet and a few bookshelves has left me more than a lot to go through and DISCARD!
However, there are always funny things that you find when digging through papers that should have been pitched YEARS ago.

Bitz Box to the Rescue
(It IS better to be lucky than good...)
You've heard me reference the copious amounts of random bits that I've acquired over time, and it paid dividends again today. I knew I had a few dreadnaught bits in the lot that I'd bought, but I had no idea how useful they would be for my latest eBay rescue.

Lack of updates
(excuses, excuses)
I've been a little delinquent in posting updates to my projects over the last week. Well, let's be honest, I've been delinquent about working on any of my projects for the last week and a half! I'm sure the sad, miserable story of my life is of little concern, but more importantly, I'm back at work on my rebuild of the Land Raider Terminus Ultra.

Rogue Trader Land Raider - FINALLY
Well, I guess patience pays off. After kicking around and finally getting the good deal on the Land Raider Terminus Ultra that I'm repairing, I kept looking for a Rogue Trader-era Land Raider. Fortunately I managed to score one for about $40 after shipping.

Repairing the Land Raider Terminus Ultra pt 3
(Your Magnets and you...)
As I await my Crusader Upgrade kit to arrive, I spent some time rebuilding the weapon sponsons for the Lascannons. Most of my brainpower was devoted to figuring out how to mount the twin-cannon sponsons without fabricating a new rotating mount. A quick touch-up coat of black to cover the areas that weren't painted by the original builder and we were ready for the mounts.
