If I don't need the pin-vice for anything else I'll leave it on it and paint it just like that. This allows me to hold the wire or rod and get to the details with my brush that I might not be able reach if I were holding it with my fingers. When painting models that haven't been assembled yet, I often drill a hole into the bottom of the head with my pin-vice and glue it onto a brass rod or wire. The pic below shows how I like to paint loose heads. I launched right into this project and didn't take any pics until I was past the base-coating stage. Either way, this extra color palette was going to add additional time to my painting deadline. You can see where I did this with the gunner on my Space Wolves Landraider (below).
Either in full suits or just their helms, the red would appear somewhere. I had decided long ago that my Space Wolf Iron Priests would wear the traditional red armor of the Adeptus Mechanicus - at least to some degree. But I was woefully unprepared for just how complex this model was, but pushed on anyway. It was May 22nd, and I knew that if I focused on this model I could knock it out. That weekend I decided to take part in a local painting competition, which stipulated that you had to buy the miniature from their store during the contest window with all entries submitted by May 31st. I was quite proud of myself in fact and was sure that I could do it again. Back in May of last year (2016) you may recall I painted my Eversor Assassin in a fairly fast and focused painting session.
