Are you sure this is meant to be here?
It was proof! The XLBS is in fact not filmed on a Sunday! 🙁
It was the post write up and not the vid 😉
OH MY GOOD. I fell into a time hole while i was sleepinp and lost a whole day
WoW……it’s the XLBS already??? Happy Sunday CoG’s?
(I feel a little bit like Dorthy, getting to see behind the curtain of the Great and Powerful OZ) (and I’m from Kansas so I should know). ??
As for what I’ve been working on……
1)My Uboat 28mm project……..(plus two side projects that involve UBoats of different scales)
2)Two DBA armies……………(I blame @warzan for opening that care package of goodies with DBA rules that were inside)
3)Clash of Spears units……..(@avernos convinced me that only metal spears will do!)(I’m on my second box of bandaids)
4)Burrows and Badgers forces…(because my wife was sad that @brennon finished all his B&B minis)
We have truly hit the time warp section of the lockdown. Time has no meaning now. Saturday is Sunday.
where has my Sodding Saturday gone? 😛 I wanted to paint tanks and make cookies!
Balls I am in work tomorrow, I thought it was only Saturday. Best get my s**t together!
No it’s not, u bunch of Cultists lol 🙂
Please don’t be anything like Stephen Nolan or Hugo Duncan and it will all be good.
Happy Sunday!
This week I have been mostly working and recovering from work, but slowly progressed 15 T64 tanks. Might see if I can finish them today.
Solved!
A bit elementary my dear @Warzan.
Warren your painting looks great. I always tell people the same thing about painting. Do what you can and as long as you are happy with it, that what counts. Don’t listen to the people who critique just to critique and take in what you can from the positive critique. Look at other things but don’t compare to much because you don’t know where they came from and how far they have progressed compared to you but learn or get ideas where you can. Paint as much as you can but if you feel like it’s getting annoying or stressed,… Read more »
Warrens Pirate radio, in a few years time they could make a film about it, possibly staring Henry, though I’m not sure that the shed that rocked has the same ring to it? Ben those little stuffed toy minis are amazing, I wonder if you can just get the minis or do you have to buy a boxed game? Jerry talking about tin bitz, I was looking at an old paint pot of it, now sadly dried out, thinking but wait Jerry it is real I have one here, for some reason he didn’t seem to respond as I was… Read more »
Starring which Henry? Henry the vacuum cleaner? 😉
@warzan Sorry to say you will not see Affleck as Batman again he has said he was done. The Synder cut is what we should have gotten but Zack Synder left Justice League due to a family tragedy and they got Joss Whedon in to finish it and that was why we got moustache gate (Henry Cavill was filming MI7 and they wouldn’t let him shave for the reshoots is the story). The next batman is the movie called The Batman by Matt Reeves (who directed Cloverfield and the last film he did was War for the Planet of the… Read more »
Midnight hobby time might be the way forward with the weather getting warmer. I can’t stand hot weather….. ?
Twinkies in knickers? DO NOT GOOGLE THAT!
Pirate radio, like it, as i have your weekend shows on when painting… maybe we can call it “The seaman hour”…?
@warzan I went to the same place with Bens’ “Period”. I also remember when he first started the embarrassed blush and fart faces he made when you went to the dark places, sign of his getting used to you is the speed at which he came back at you. 🙂
@warzan talking about radio took me back to my first job in the media as. a technician on a radio station lol.. . we had the brainwave to do live interviews with local rock bands on the evening show.. one groups called the 500 Hojas turned drinking beer and well the interview was just out of control lol. with one of them swearing on air… after that we pre-recorded the interviews. The idea was to have a live interview followed by a live set of them doing 3 or 4 songs.. lol…I learnt a valuable lesson; never trust rock musicians… Read more »
Cracked the code within 2 minutes of hearing it. Good luck all.
Radio BoW section, Dear Warren: I enjoy double fisting games, do I have a problem or is this normal???
Warren’s Pirate Radio …
Is that going to feature : “Warren meets mat (the ASMR edition)” ?
😉
Airbrush Priming vs Rattle Can You know airbrush priming is much much cheaper in the long term, right? You pay £10 for a rattle can and it lasts 5 minutes. You pay £10 for Vallejo 200ml primer and the same again for thinner and that lasts what feels like a year, and thats with me painting north of 300 minis a year. How many rattle cans will you use in that time frame? Assuming you’re gonna be priming minis for years an airbrush pays for itself just on the savings you make on rattle can primer, and that’s without us… Read more »
This, so much! And not just priming, varnishing is so much easier and safer with an airbrush. Never worry about frosting again.
I have found that priming and varnishing with the cleaning involved has taken its toll on my medium range Iwata airbrush, so have purchased a £20 cheap one from a well known online retailer for those jobs.
If we’re doing old skool paints can we have a piece on Titillating Pink?
Ooooher! Pirate Radio, with Captain Warzan Hook, Mister Smee Avernos. Ben the Crocodile and Lloydy Pan.
Could work…..but Wednesday, in normal times thats club night.
Happy Sunday!
So, a radio show? On Discord? Hmm – I’m not a fan of Discord anyway, I just find it clunky. But that is just me, so that’s fine. I’d be interested to see how you have images on the radio…..surely that’s just television?
As for music – I would love to hear you playing the best of the Irish bands – Picturehouse. At least once.
And the Lloyd and Rattlecan scenes just made me laugh so hard! I had to pause the show so I didn’t miss anything!
you misspelt Kerbdog
Regarding the Pandemic I am of the firm conviction that Grandfather Nurgle has sent it, because he wants me specifically to finish my painting Death Guard army. So there wont be any getting back to normal, before your are able to post the Mortarion I ordered ;). No worries guys I understand why it is taking its time. And I am sure Nurgle himself will do everything in his power to expedite the deliveries. Unless this is some weird circular logic warp problem going on…
