Almost ready to assemble the model now. base colors are all done, just need some washes, a few detail areas and some touchups on a few areas. I took some pictures but didn't have time to offload them from the camera. I did take one picture from my phone:
the base is one of the resin bases from http://dragonforge.com/, the broken wasteland series. I started using resin bases for my last army in 40k, and I really like them. it saves me the time of making a terrain base, and the ones I've attempted never looked great. I've done some greenstuff brick for my Skorne models but didn't want to mess with it for a model this big.
So barring any big slowdowns in the next two evenings, this should be completely done by Wednesday night.
