Hobby Addiction: Update 6

     So I found myself in a bit of a pickle.  The box of Necron warriors I mentioned in my last post came short a sprue of the little transparent green bars that complete there guns.  This frustrated me a little, and I contemplated contacting Games Workshop to get a replacement.  Then I thought better of it.  It's hard enough to try and go through the process of securing a return for damaged product when the company is based in your own country, I didn't want to have to mess with internationally trying to accomplish this.  Especially with all the COVID-19 shutdown issues.  Then an idea struck me.
     The sprue for the little bars is not much wider that the bars themselves, and the trapezoids shape is heavily featured in Necron design, so I decided to just snip four pieces of the sprue to the length they needed to be for the guns, glued them in place just the same, and I'll be base coating them tonight or tomorrow.  (For those wondering why I put the rods in before basecoating, my Necron force is the Mephrit dynasty, and the gauss rods for their guns are orange.)
     In the end, I think the effect is quite nice, and it'll be fun if I ever showcase my army for people to try and spot the unique four on there own.  Well until next time, good night.
