Nurgle Blight Drone

I recently had a birthday and my loving family presented me with a whole raft of new Forge World toys.

I have decided to work on the Nurgle Blight Drone first.

This is a lovely kit. Eveything fits together well and all major joints are socketed for strength. The only tricky bit are the hoses. To fit these glue one end first and then dribbled boiling water on the resin. The hose can then be easily bent into shape using a pair of tweezers and the other end glued.

I decided to mount it on a copper rod for rigidity. I used a carpenters power tool to drill out the socket taking utmost care. It is recommended to do this outside as resin dust is nasty stuff.

I used epoxy resin (Araldite fast) rather than superglue as I am super-glue allergic. Resin is slow and tricky but it does give very strong joints as it flows into gaps forming a solid structure. It is also less brittle than superglue.

I will be back in a month or so with the paint job. This is such a good model that it is worth taking a little extra trouble,
