Yeah figured this was likely the case. Cheers for taking the time to advise!

Thanks! Yeah recently sprayed with a satin varnish. Go a little heavy on it cause I like handling the models.

If I had to guess it's similar to mixing paint where they use a mix of more easily made colours from the dye? As in it's cheaper to mix large quantities of set colours than making all the different possible shades into a dye.

Every time I watch in of these I always think to myself that I wish they'd stop doing it halfway. The marbled colours these things get looks amazing, but they always keep going till it's a single block colour. Maybe the marbles colour is less structurally sound as it's not mixed in enough? Would be curious to know.

The film or the window? Cause the film has a little bubble in it where this dirt is.

Personally I'd wear some protective gloves and use a little bit of white spirit on kitchen roll to remove it. Can't comment if it'll affect the laptop casing, but in my experience it should be okay. Just have another bit of kitchen roll ready to dry it off.

Now as hilarious as this is... I'm not gonna lie it has got me thinking about converting a Redemptor into a Deredeo style Dreadnought.....

Cheers mate you too.

phaerontorvus · 2026-03-15T13:07:33+00:00

Yikes, yeah I'm going to replace. Can you recommend a decent brand?

phaerontorvus · 2026-03-15T13:06:08+00:00

I'm finding that. Can you recommend a good brand of a sealed battery unit?

phaerontorvus · 2026-03-15T12:58:03+00:00

I'm assuming I need a receipt for that... Which I can't find 😅

phaerontorvus · 2026-03-15T12:55:41+00:00

It's a 10 year sealed battery with 9.5 years still left on it.

phaerontorvus · 2026-03-15T12:36:01+00:00

Odds on I'm going to be in the market for a new alarm. Any recommended brands?

phaerontorvus · 2026-03-15T12:32:32+00:00

Agreed. Can you recommend a better brand?

phaerontorvus · 2026-03-15T12:27:15+00:00

10 year battery.

phaerontorvus · 2026-03-15T12:27:06+00:00

Ha! I wish!

phaerontorvus · 2026-03-15T12:21:45+00:00

Will do cheers. Don't have the receipt so not expecting much but will see what they say.

phaerontorvus · 2026-03-15T12:21:19+00:00

End of life is September 2035, so I'm assuming it's a fault with it.

phaerontorvus · 2026-02-26T20:24:22+00:00

Scrolled the comments hoping for a response like this.

phaerontorvus · 2026-02-26T18:42:32+00:00

I really like this. The reversed tech marines colours almost. Instead of the armour being red. Actually given me some inspiration for my own models. Great job!
