Thank you all for your kind words. This last update is a combination of "I am still doing hobby stuff" statement and self-motivation; I figure if I post a WIP then I have to follow through at some point, right?  :D

Chris, agreed on the integral basing. The Deathdroid and Ezoghoul have nice integral bases; perhaps a base that would hold up this hoss would have been expensive to cast? He definitely needs some more work, but I am pleased with the smooth basecoat.

Knight, the base is from here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3868221 Mr. Carothers does a lot of cool stuff, and offers a good amount of it for free. The printable basing options out there are pretty nice; I imagine they look even better in resin. I'll probably use some sort of glue to smooth the topographical map-looking surface.

Major_Gilbear, he does still lean forward. I didn't straighten him out, but I felt the need to use Milliput and pins to give extra support. Hopefully it's enough! Thank you for the comments on the Scorpion- I feel like I need to do some more with the base, but the model itself is about as done as it can be without going display-level insane on it.

Current projects: collecting way too many vintage Warzone models.

I think I want to add a bit of rust effect paint to the gun, but other than that, and finishing the base, I'm calling this beast done.

I think the lighting may be washing him out in the pics a little, but he looks very nice - no mean feat with a giant lump of lead like him. Well done, and I look forward to seeing him all done with base and weathering complete. :)
