Sometimes you get stuck, you come to a roadblock that you can't blow through with ease, something that stymies you for a good long time. That was the canopy for the blasta bommer for me. I've had...

Wow, almost 8 months since I touched this thing. Sad really, I miss it a lot. That's what getting a second job and going back to school will do for ya ;)

With the break in school over the holidays...

Worked on the metallics today. I remembered a long time ago, Tamiya made a Gun Metal Blue that was really good looking for gun barrels. I figured I'd try to duplicate that on the many, many barrels...

They do look a bit like flesh colored bandaids don't they? It's just a different brand of plasticard (Plastruc instead of Evergreen). They turn a bit white-ish when bent.

True! Wish I could give this thing a KFF of some sort ;)

ozymandias: Surprisingly, using an airbrush means a lot less paint :) I'll use around 5 bottles total for a majority of the base coloring and really not much else.

Finished everything except the...

Yeah, I would like to find a comparable in the US. Anyone have any ideas? I know about the Ikeas (I've got two of them) but would like this as there's more storage/display space.

My favorite part is when R2-D2 is chasing him down.. Looks like a little robopuppy following his Astartes master.

I don't have the answer/info for #1 as I wasn't around and...

I've been on a bit of a break from active modeling/gaming lately as other aspects of my life become priorities. Buying an advertising agency, getting ready for a 50 hour trivia marathon (which we...

Got a bit of a break - they released these things in color! Downside is most of the ones in color, we already have figured out... :(

Here's one we don't though. The new image is waaaay better....

Don't post anything within 10 or so days of any Gamesday or large competition wrapping up! ;)

...and as pointed out, ya gotta wait a week before it will start showing. It's really more like "the...

Thanks for hte idea funnymouth. I googled the movie and it's not it. The French king was an older crone type. Crooked nose, slightly hunched over, etc. The Dashing Hero type was an Errol Flynn...

Cherns question last week about a movie he saw reminded me of a movie I've been searching for around 15 years.

It's a classic black and white movie and I saw it when either AMC or Turner Classic...

Hey all!

We've got two weeks left and we've found a bunch of stuff (including the map from above! - yes, I'll post the solution when the show is over). I'm back with a bump and a page were you can...

Boy, I know a buncha Rainbows that are gonna be pissed when they here about this....

So, when did Tipper Gore move to Canada? I, for one, am glad to be rid of her. :)

Let John show you what else can be made of paper...

1994 to 2010

Thanks CMoN!

Sweet - I'm a little underwhelmed at my progress last year, although it did include bashing together four superheavy units for 40K Apoc. I've got one under my belt so far...

1. Ork Runtherder...

Bingo! :)

(added content to increase letter count over 100 :tongue::tongue::tongue: )

Done!

The runtherder is finished and rejoined by his grotty minions (which were finished in March of last year I might add...).

I tend to find the humor in it like Liz does! I had a friend who arrived at our military base in Germany straight outta basic training. We had a "rare" accumulating snowfall a few weeks after he...

Thanks everyone!

OK, this is to prove I'm not dead yet... just extremely busy in the real world with real world crap.

I've spent some time over the last week painting the squighound for fun and...

TBS: Extra internet cookies to you if you can post a reference.... :)

BPI: The paper towel effect is simply a moire pattern set up by my scanning and scaling the image.



The Lucas/Speilberg pic is something I know I've seen before and I'm pretty sure it was...

I agree with BPI, Terch - great find! And thanks!

You may remember this from previous threads...

Nailed it right there. Hollywood still can't claim to have conquered the Uncanny Valley problem. I too noticed the upper lip and eyes thing, I'll forgive it thought because of the Lightcycle scene...

Baffled

Amazed

And feeling a little weird for watching that whole thing. I couldn't stop though!

And you say there's an entire movie of this stuff?

It's like Tetsuo 2 with comedy thrown...

The funniest thing about this is everyone who's been whinning about getting a new stadium (pretty much everybody) has been using this video as a warcry of "Do you think we need a new stadium...

Ok, quick update - I'm not dead, just really busy.

Did manage in the last three weeks to warp up the crew for the stock battlewagon and started the runtherder for the grot mob I did a while back....

This looks fun until some drunk partier replaces the WiiSpray with a can of RealSpray.... How fun!

I'm with the Tweemos label.

Best memory! Making my first post and seeing it being responded to by intelligence (I found out much later that that's easily feigned here ;) ) and treated like a person and taken like I might know...

On to the details!

Got to work this weekend finishing up the details for the stock GW battlewagon, mainly the crew and also the Runtherder from the box set I finished a while ago. Got the skin and...

OK, as with every Thanksgiving weekend, I took a full army shot as well as assessed my army in total, painted and unpainted. Here's the entire painted portion of my army...

On to the next one.....

Getting a little short attention span here and just feel like jumping around right now. I'm expanding my army to be able to field a full on dread bash and I need to add two...

Holy crap! I'm 15 again!

Ya see, this is where 80% of the population loses it's sense of humor.

Thank you TBS, This is going on my iPod today.

ps: t-shirt - I Don't Feel Tardy... Love it!

Thanks guys!

Duck: I'd love to have new people on right now but we're not looking, other changes need to happen first. That doesn't mean we won't ever though. You can send your resume in (and...
