The Hornet

Here is my Forge World Eldar Hornet. I was given this as a birthday present 2 years ago and it's been slow going. I let it sit for a while because I wasn't comfortable working with resin. I had to do the boiling water trick to get the big guns to straighten out. I'm hoping to have this ready for the BayCon Model Show this Fall.

The story of this build so far has it's fair share of "Oops!" moments. I primed it grey and when to put a base coat of white to make the colors pop. The white paint had gone off (I also stupidly used Testers Flat White), and it puddled...badly. So I had to dunk it in Simple Green for a day or 2 and clean it off. While trying to gently apply elbow grease to clean the surface I broke off one of the stabilizer fins. Things got better after that. I magnetized it so I can swap out weapons and have reached the point where it's down to detail work.
