Undead Skull Chucker / old style Screaming Skull Catapult

Vampire Counts: Undead Skull Chucker (or and old Screaming Skull Catapult)

First.. i know that this is not for the Vampire Counts army, but i don't have a Tomb Kings army and this old version is pre Vampire Counts/Tomb Kings hence the "wrong" headline. I just wanted to paint one of these models (and hopefully both) and don't have a Tobm Kings section :P

BUT.. This is the pre-Tomb Kings version of the Screaming Skull catapult.

I found two sets of skull chuckers - unpainted but glued. So i figured that these two warmachines needed and deserved to be painted.

This is two pictures of the unpainted base model

I decided to build a custom base and glue it all upon this base to ease the handling of the model(s).

I am sorry to say that i missed taking pictures of the base building, but the idea is that i cut a square out of the transparent front cover of a CD case. On this base i glued edges formed from the leftovers (edges) of the plastic sprues which i have cut nicely edges upon. I  then glued the models on the base of the square and then finally i glued 2 layers of rough sand. On the sand i also glued two rocks and two mushrooms made of greenstuff.

I painted the sand in chaos black. Once done i painted a rough layer of Scorched Brown, leaving the darkest areas black. Upon the brown layer I drybrushed (leaving more paint on the brush than during a normal drybrush) a layer of Dark Angels green. to highlight i gave a layer of drybrushed Scorpion Green (now called Moot Greed)

So.. this is where i am at the moment. I will continue to post updates as i find time to continue. I have though - made a broken fence that i intend to place in front of the Skull Chucker once it is finished

The skull chucker is now finished and this is the result:

These are the stats found on the Skull Chucker:
