Progress on Space Chickens

Just trying to keep my Mojo up and you all abreast of the situation. (Ha, ha, abreast).


This is where I left off last night. I've gotten a little more done on them today, but I have to run so I'll do more later.


I feel like the Clukkatrix is done. Just needs a coat of varnish.

I also got in the second run of T-shirts and will be calculating shipping and messaging people with the total in the morning.

I had to go to some training on using the Epipen this morning. A word of advice. If your kid has a potentially life threatening condition you may want to make sure that all of the school staff are aware of it. I'm just a lowly duty aide, but if I know your kid could go into anaphylaxis, diabetic coma etc, I could save his/her life.

Have a good one.

Oh and welcome to London in Flames. I don't see your blog listed. Let me know and I'll post a link to it.

    1. Thank you Michael. The smaller guys are a tad rough in places, but you are not spoiled for choice when in comes to space chickens.

  2. Are you painting them up as any specific breed, or just generic "barnyard browns"?

  3. Hi Hugh, yes and no. My grandfather raised chickens, mostly Leghorns and Rhode Island Reds, I also liked Looney Tunes so I wanted to paint the Clukkatrix as an homage to Foghorn Leghorn. I had thought about doing different breeds, but time and gameiness are forcing me to do one squad of buffs and the other reds. I'm going to build up both from the same dark brown.

    1. Thanks Skully. He hasn't proven to be much more than a bolter magnet in games. Although he did have one good run in Shadow War. I played him as having Carapace Armor and that kept him alive long enough to tear people up in close combat.
