Did you ever have one of those models…?

As I mentioned in a previous post, I have had the Vessel of Judgment on my table for an eternity.  I finally finished it today.  I am convinced this model is cursed.  I had two miscast parts that I had to wait on replacements for.  The fit and assembly of this model make garage producers look high quality.  I had to fix multiple chips from the characters as they rolled around on my desk regardless of which safe place I put them.  When I finally finished painting it the other day, it was late and I got lazy and used Purity Seal from a can I had around.  What I should have done is load some sealer into the airbrush.  Alas, I did not and ended up with a cloudy hard coat.  I tried to doctor it up with some gloss coat and a recoat of (another type) of flat coat.  The results were underwhelming.  Finally, while trying to glue the final pieces together they wouldn’t go smoothly and I ended up with glue all over my base.

In short, I’m not very happy with the results of this model.  I was so excited to get this piece and to paint it.  Now I am just happy to be done with the miserable piece of sh*t.  I certainly hope that the Vessel gives my opponents as many problems as it gave me over the past couple of months.
