Much to my disappointment, here's the 2nd part to my post-move repair series. In the
previous part I fixed a few things that proved to be fairly minor repairs. However I knew I had
something broken because I discovered during the move that I had a small box, that I knew had a model in it, that rattled when handled. I had
assumed it was my Celestial Lion character (see the Other Armies link) only to actually find him in another box completely safe and intact. So, it left me wondering just what was in that rattling box...
And I was quite disappointed to find this:

| Space Huks are like crumbs: if you break one in half do you have two, or two halves? |
It's my only painted Battlefleet Gothic model, my Space Wolves Battle Barge
Ragnar's Breath which was built and
showcased a few years ago. It was in rough shape, half disassembled and the flight stand was snapped off at the connection point to the model.
Well the metal bitz were easily reassembled, and the snap on the base, though uneven, sort of fit like a puzzle piece, so I drilled a hole through both pieces with a pin-vice and inserted a brass pin before supergluing it back together.

I used this as an excuse to actually finish this model, by painting the antennas that stick out the front as well as the gun turrets. These bitz have only been in my
Portable Neverness Kit since I put that thing together, so it felt good to get it completely finished.

Now if there was any local interest in playing BFG, I just might be inspired to get back into The Space Race and finish my fleet! But sadly, I doubt there is...
