Mammoth WIP 2

And were back! Its been days, with me adding more simple green after not seeing any more progress.

A watched pot never boils, so we have to sneak a peek....

 Success!

Before scrubbing

Finished scrubbing the arm

Man the paint is really in there...

One final shot before I say its good enough. Hopefully the primer will cover the red.

We have done it. I ended up just dumping the whole bottle of simple green in and letting it sit for almost a week total. Looks like it worked...ish.

Time to dry and prime.

Mammoth WIP

So now that the Seattle open is behind me I'm taking it easy and getting started on fixing up a model Ive been avoiding since I got it. My Mammoth.

This is not what my Mammoth looks like.

 No I got mine in trade and while my the person I got it from was obviously enthusiastic they didn't seem to know about primer. Or they thought it looked better without primer... I don't know, I didn't ask.

Either way were hitting it with Simple Green.After a search on the internet told me Simple Green may melt away details I decide to dilute it to a 3:1 ratio with water.

I needed something to weigh down the torso of the mammoth... More on that later

We're going to leave it alone over night and see what were working with.


In the mean time some ideas about the mammoth just in general. With a point cost of 38 points its a central piece in a list whenever you bring it. The Mammoth was the best Gargantuan in Mk2 and in MK3 its still pretty strong, though I think the changes to the Mountain King and a few troll casters may have dethroned it (Horgle2 springs to mind). With Assault, Pathfinder, some high pow initials and 5 fury, its taking out just about anything you charge with it. That being said I have a problem committing my Gargantuan to the fight sometimes. Luckily the Mammoth has something for that,  RNG 12 POW 15 ROF D3+1 AOE 3 shots anyone? I love this gun, I cant tell you how many times this gun, bulldoze and an extoller soulward have won me the game.
