Haha! Definitely not! Sorry for being absent lately and sorry for this not being a real update.
My computer went to the serviceman for reasons too embarrassing to speak of and after that me and my missus went to Stockholm for a few days to visit a friend of ours.
But, now I am back on track, the computer is working and it\'s time to get something done out here

And about Dark Heresy, I\'ve been playing with a few mates over the last few months and I can tell you, it\'s a great, great game. the percentile system allow for quick and comprehensible gameplay, the settinjg is dark and gritty and the combat is deadly.. every encounter so far resulted in one or more of the characters receiving some kind of nasty injury and none of the PC classes are overpowered as I\'ve seen so far. It\'s great for the characters to be rather fragile, makes them more \'human\' and fun to play with. Although theere is a fan-made book circling on the net with rules to create and play with Space Marines and I\'d have to say that rarely have seen such a detailed and balanced fan-created book. It\'s utterly brilliant. I intend to make some characters from that with my usual game crew for the odd nights that we can\'t get everyone together. (Damn, it\'s hard to get 5 working guys together for an evening...)
Anyways, good to hear you\'re back in action! Eagerly looking forward to the next updates.

Very cool dread indeed, cant wait to see it finished.
Quick question - what did you use for the plating and how did you get it bend so well?

the plating consists mostly of GF9\'s 0.03\" plasticard(in my language: 0.76-ish mm thick) pieces rolled around a pen to get the material soft and then, if further bending is needed I roll the parts that need extra bending around a sculpting tool.
Always make sure the piece you roll is longer than what you intend to use though since the extreme edges are next to impossible to bend using plastic methods, you can do it using heat but then there is a higher risk involved as well.
