Happy Sunday!
I love big tanks and I cannot lie…..
I’d love to do a Late WWII German force in 28 and 15mm. Both forces centred around a Maus (i know, I know so don’t start!) with some tigers (I&II), Panthers, Elefants and Pumas backed up by Panzer Grenadiers. Obviously it would be a bit big for Bolt Action, but maybe suitable for Tank War?
It’s the XLBS Show…………Happy Sunday Fellow CoGs!
Does a completely scratch-built, very movie accurate, Star Wars Legion-scaled Lambda-class Imperial Shuttle with rotating stabilizer fins and an optional landing gear count as a BIG PROJECT? After 8 months, it is finally finished:

There are passion projects and then your Sistine Chapel cieling level of insanity, good fellow. Good to hear the news and I hope you rest a little before the next thing you do.
nope, that only counts as one thing 😛
Okay – now I HAVE to do my screen-accurate, Star Wars Legion-scale AT-AT next. I’m serious! 🙂
Another good week in hobby for the Sexual BS (as Gerry isn’t here to proclaim). @brennon Your Arthurians require paint and need to be done before @lloyd gets onto his Pagan Rus. We’re counting on you to kick him into gear. Its either that or animate gifs of Ace Ventura popping out of S-tanks. @dignity We await seeing your next thing of beauty to grace the tables. Many many ideas and a Shae on the show to fight against from time to time. @johnlyons Your Red Brigade will be forthcoming. I can see it now, you’ll move onto the next… Read more »
What this man said @brennon – your Arthurians require paint and need to be done.
lol I can talk.
John Vlog is great idea! please follow this idea i like short series
Must admit as cute as Pascal was/is, Dogs are so much better ?
Really enjoyed today’s episode. Would 100% back a John Cold War tank documentary ?
Big projects I’m currently inclined to are
Kublai Khan and the Mongol invasion of China, building a Mongol army. I’ve been re-watching Marco Polo on Netflix lol.
Another is a Team Yankee project where China has invaded Hong Kong, so Brits and Hong Kong units against PLA. I’d even go mad and build a Downton Hong Kong table for a full on urban warfare games.
Happy Sunday! Thanks for another great show!!
A couple of weeks ago? I only just finished watching that on last week’s weekender.
Time is behaving awful funny these days….
Cheers for my the Golden Button. Really appreciate it. The Tiger is actually 1/72 scale Tiger tracks, but the rest of it is British Tamaya 1/35 scale parts just to build up a hull over a bracket. And the old coat toggle engine parts were a nod to a tiger too.
They were really fun to put together. My son had the exact reaction you described. “It looked a bit rubbish when you bodged together, but now you painted it, it looks quite good.” High praise. ?
?Hi COGz?
Don’t forget the bunker under the cross in the passhendaele memorial grave site.
Today’s episode is brought to you by John an chobham armour.
Congratulations to the golden button winners: beautiful projects!
Listening to XLBS makes me want to dive into games I’ve never considered or found interesting settings before.
As for big projects: I’ve been thinking about diving into Napoleonics with a Russian force. That, or a gritty Sludge army!
Happy Sunday. Three very nice Golden Button winners there and hurrah for more Space Station Zero mentions. Nice job with the show @brennon I rate you 11 out of 10 badgers. As for big projects I’ve got an old Warhammer dwarf army that’s almost all metal but hasn’t seen much in the way of paint. I bring it out now and then to have a look at the miniatures and remind myself of what I have then, a few days later, I put it all away again. I’d love to get it battle worthy again, maybe for Kings of War… Read more »
Burrows V Dragons Ben?
Great show guy’s.
Don’t forget to hide the dug if Gerry visits in case he go’s missing as a snack Justin ?!?

Great show lads. Needs a dog more often!
Happy sUnday,
I have massive terrain pieces. I also watch the Greatest Movie ever made. Sometimes i do both
Yes to more John vlogs and documentaries. Not fussed about video length.
Happy Sunday, got it in the right place this time…..Ben you read my mind, A dragon rider army but with a twist where there are Sky battles with just the dragon riders.I think there was game a few years ago with pre-painted Dragons and ground troops but can i remember it, but i wonder could you adapt the X-wing rules for the dragons, oh now there’s a thought me thinks i will have to look into this, i know me and my grandson would love this.
You should time your Bovington trip with the one day wargames show in July, you could then spend three or four days thoroughly covering both.
I would love to see a vlog on the East German force.
Large projects!
I would love to finish my Samurai project from hell ?
I would love to build a Necromunda table from scratch with canals and multiple floors as well. ?
