Assembling/converting an imperial knight part 3: persevering despite the darkness

Work begins on the White Rose's face

I have been recovering from a sudden bout of depression this last while; it would have been much harder were it not for the people on the G+ 40K community; their work and the nice things they said brought me out of-- of Dorn's Darkness, and I am better for it.
