hmmm... I like that wooden bolt thrower with wheels better than the one I have. Where might I find one?

Nice one, I love this model. I quite like the crew actually - especially the guy holding the bolt in the air is a nice sculpt.
I think you might have glued the crossbar on upside down btw. I know because I have three of them and I did the same on one of mine! It’s not noticeable unless you get really close and look at the faces in the metalwork.

If I wasn’t going to bring Beastmen when we meet (as you’ve yet to face them), for fun, I would have bought my dwarves and fielded a dragon slayer to represent him 😁. I’m also going to now name it xxx’s folly (ocne I decide on his name). azknight probably only through eBay/buy and swop groups now as it’s a long time oop.

A few more of the outstanding characters completed: Belegor Ironhammer and an as yet unnamed engineer. I still have quite a few of these unique engineer and runesmith metal models to get through! I definitely need to do more with the shield and i've not particularly happy with the blue gems.

Putting a layer of Ardcoat (or other gloss varnish) on gems makes a massive difference to how they come out, even if you don't highlight them. Or the GW technical gem paints (such as Soulstone Blue) work really well over a silver metal base, though I find you need two "blobs" of it to get the colour sufficiently vivid. I used that paint for my Tzeentch chaos models' gems.

I've never liked GW master engineers, they've always looked needlessly busy, but I like how yours turned out, removing the backpack makes quite the difference!

Engineer does look better without the backpack.
On the technical paint side for the gems, I personally consider the red to not work as well as the blue and green GW ones fwiw. Green is my favourite and has been a game changer for me when it comes to small gems.
I hope Belegar smites many foes for you (excluding Beastmen).
