When last we left our heroes....

After a slight three month detour, I'm back with an update. The Christmas time goal obviously did not happen, and life has been rather crazy (all for the best). However, I still had the odd moment to pick away at the project, and those moments add up to give you these bad boys!

It feels really good to finish up a measurable chunk, and has left me rarin' to go after the next: the last two jacks. I've got base coats down on them and, since they are mostly black hull and steel, they should go pretty quickly. After that, its more black and steel armor for the storm guard and then we're done! New goal is to be done w/ the jacks before the end of February, and then finish this group up by the end of March. 

I picked up a can of The Army Painter matte varnish to protect them from basic wear and tear, but haven't been able to test it yet. Anyone have any positive/negative experiences with their varnish?

Cheers,

Gith
