Sentinel Powerlifter Part une.

Evening all,

Well I made a start on the Valkyrie, but then ran out of paint thinner, partly through the amount of painting I've been doing lately, partly as I've been experimenting in making your own firelighters. Something I mentioned to my girlfriend with the simple reply of "Oh God".
So, I've ordered a bottle of thinner. Shame really, only place I can buy the one I like is Modelzone, but there's not one round here, so got stung on postage.

Here's the interim hobby work. The counterweight will be scratchbuilt, primarily as I really don't like the FW one.

 I've built him in a 'light' walking pose, as he won't be carrying anything. Now having looked at the kit, I may get another one in future and make the 'grips' go up and down. I reckon it'd be possible.

Gave him a treadplate/runway base, an idea I stole from Rictus... Sadly, I can't find a link on his blog, but I found it googling 'Sentinel; Rictus'.

This effectively begins the Naval wing of the Imperium forces....
