Just to keep it interesting, if anyone can figure out what his front and back \"scrolls\" say, I might be willing to send out a bonus exchange mini!

go on givvus (me) a clue

 

[treide]

@ squig hunter - Nope, keep trying!

@thecadian - Can\'t give too much of a clue, or it will be too easy. The only clue I will give is that there is one word on the front and one word on the back.

 

[OrkyDave]

does it say \'front\' and \'back\' ?

 

[Rev]

lol @ orky dave.

Looks sweet treide - is it arabic or sumat?

i\'m struggling to find time atm but am hoping to get one of the pieces sent by DD finished by xmas!

[treide]

@orkydave - Nice try, but no dice!

@rev - Let\'s just say you are on the right track.

 

[OrkyDave]

Does it say halal meat and flying carpet?

 

[OrkyDave]

No wait, it says GOLF SALE !

 

[treide]

All entertaining but incorrect - keep trying!

 

[Thecadian]

[treide]

Nice job, Thecadian. You got it. Now provide the English translation for everyone else! PM me with your mailing address and I\'ll send you a bonus mini for your hard work.

 

[No Such Agency]

Arabic? Wow... very impressive. I am now curious what it says So spill the beans, Cadian man!

I\'m finished one of the minis that treide sent me, here he is:

[noneedforaname]

does it mean \"eat pork\" in english?

 

[treide]

Nice work, NSA. I think the high contrast works well. Looking forward to seeing what you do with Jabba and Boba (no pressure - whenever you get around to them)!

 

[Thecadian]

well after lots of googling one means power and the other means good.At least i think they do

Is this right anyone??

[treide]

That\'s right - \"qodat\" = \"power\" and \"khub\" = \"good\".

Also, I cannot take full credit for the choice of words - I asked my wife for some short words representing power or righteousness for the model, and she suggested those. Her first language is Farsi.

 

[Rev]

Haha!

I finally got round to slapping a brush across some of the goodies that DD sent me.

I felt like a break from the GW stuff, and liked the look of the gord ironhead dwarf dude.

hope you like!!

[Highbulp Billy]

Very nice Rev, although I can\'t help wondering what\'s he hiding behind that clump of tall grass... an embarassing hole in his tunic perhaps? lol

 

[treide]

@ rev - I dig that dwarf. Is it just me, or are dwarves, halflings and gnomes much more fun to paint?

 

[Rev]

I must admit it was fun, a total change from painting minis for armies.

I tried to use a limited palette, and i\'m pleased with how it looks, it only took and hour and a half this morning!!

the grass... well its his personal stash innt ;-)

 

[MPJ]

I used to think painting dwarves was fun... Then I got about half way through my dwarf army. Not so fun anymore. :drunk:
