Looks like my time out is over, but only under this handle. Lots to go through… probably won’t happen till tomorrow, although I have been following along.

I needed a break from battle boards and the accompanying units for the first store ruck, and wanted to do something relatively mindless, as it’s still blazing hot outside. I’ve got two boxes of these stealth suits, and decided to put them together. They will be alien stealth suits in my Traveller world, and I will build them using the Fire, Fusion, and Steel supplement.

Other Traveller stuff: @unclejimmy Here’s a better pic of the recce guys you commented on the other day. These are the dismounted jeep crew. I’ll have matching seated ones that will be magnetized. That way if their jeep gets whacked, they can bail out. The jeep in the background is from Robogear, only $7.00. The driver will have a 7.62 MG sandbagged on the hood, while the passenger will be standing and will have a .50 cal.

The crew load out is quite deadly. The guy on the left is carrying the 7.62 MG from the jeep, and probably a few grenades, while his #2 has a smaller weapon, a SMIG with an underslung grenade launcher, and an M72 type weapon made from plasticard and a length of sprue. Here’s a view of the back of the #2, with extra SMG mags, a medical kit, binos, etc.

The last fantasy unit I finished, a command group for the store Battlesystem:

I’ve also been working on PC’s for the game. Here’s a barbarian PC, and on the bad guy side I have a rock troll:

Pledge: continue to build stealth suits. Lame I know, but my time will be limited until Monday.

1.  What music do I secretly listen to?

2. Good comeback? No, usually just a flurry of profanity and insults. When teaching basic and junior leader courses I often used the insult “Thirty million sperm and you were the fastest” to good effect.

3. Toy soldiers? I tell people I play wargames. if I say I play AD&D I get the stink eye and they back away slowly. Could be the mace in my hand.

4. Love letters? Not my style. Gifts work better. 🙂

Back for more later. @oriskany you were right about the anime convention. Pic to follow!

We’re off berry picking.
