Hobby weekender 22/03/2019 – Alright I guess we're doing the 2010's…

Maybe it’s the turret that makes the chieftain look bigger ?

 

(Leopards are still the sexiest tank of them all :-p)

 

I can hear Conan screaming … he’s getting closer. Maybe today, but with my luck probably tomorrow (friday)

@rayzryr agreed – nozzle free zone it is 🙂 The old mules comment made me laugh 🙂 Do you maybe have a spare plastic sword you can use as a replacement blade on your damaged warrior? Think I might also need to get stuck into the priming this weekend – have a bunch of terrain queued up which needs some lovin’. Lots of rain forecast though so it might wind up being too humid, will have to see how we go. 20 points for progress and responses.

@tuffyears ah the feel of a new project 🙂 Best of luck progressing with it! Given the tank scheme you showed I’m sort of tempted to do a game of Tanks on the equivalent of a gingerbread house themed town – that would work, right?…  🙂 Nice start with the assembly. 20 points for progress and responses

@limburger yes I can’t help but imagine how gorgeous that artwork is going to look once you have hard copies in hand. And with the size of the KS carting them around will soon give you the physique of a Cimmerian 🙂 Heh, now I can’t unsee the Barbie-pink Vader… Sexy tanks? I’d call that out but then I was kind of ogling that Grav-StuG KS. No, I don’t need one and I definitely don’t need three… 😉 20 points.

@sundancer Isn’t imitation supposed to be the highest form of flattery? 😉 10 points.

OK Team, calling the thread closed here. Combined count-up for the last 2 weeks will follow tomorrow. Also, is anybody else able to host next week! I’ve got month end on at work <_<

@evilstu hmm, I probably do have something I can use. Almost certainly…

@blinky465 the moving draw bridge on Castle BlueSkull is brilliant!

@evilstu I just have to avoid red and blue for my Naughty Dwarfs as my not-Naughty Dwarfs are mostly blue and red.  Purple and gold is probably favourite when I get round to doing them.

@rayzryr those horses are really nice, I don’t recognise them though

@tuffyears looking forward to seeing some painted Chieftains. I think they are a great looking tank.

See y’all in the new thread!

Ze beast has arrived … and by Crom it is heavy.

It’s absolutely magnificent.

Backpack :

It’s got pockets with zippers inside so it is more than just a canvas bag with leather bits.

The shiny cloth map :

Kult was stunning, but that was just the one book and a fantastic poster.
Conan is quite literally a treasure hoard in RPG material.

I’m already looking forward to this week’s weekender, where we have to imagine how awesome everything is going to be in the 2020s….

Sleep, what I will be lacking for some time to come. My supervisor, as underhanded as they are, informed me that there is no set plan for when we will get another body into the office. 56hrs is the norm now. The bad part is that “there’s no way that my supe can be taken off of day shift during the week”, so they’re settled into M-F. The overnight guy can’t get out of his shift so he’s set in his timeframe. I’ve gotten the raw end of the deal in pulling day, swing and mid shift all in the same week. If I didn’t need the money I’d quit. Needless to say I’m doing less hobby than I care to but tonight I am gaming around the table with friends.

@limburger that may well be true as far as sexy tanks of the present but I’d say that Pz IV was pretty. It even got me thinking about Girls und Panzer (a guilty pleasure in anime I have). I played World of Tanks for a time on my brother’s Xbox and put it down for a bit but picked it back up when he got a PS4. Well, I saw that there was a promo for the GuP skin for the Pz IV and that set my play to grind as much as I could to get it. That reminds me I need to get back to that game.

@blinky465 I was clearing out my email bin and found something I threw at friends almost a decade ago about what kind of potential I saw with making figures and terrain from 3D printers. Damn the tech has come far.

[rayzryrParticipant 22410xp 1]

@robert well, @evilstu should recognise them! ? Lol.

They’re older GW Wood Elf Horses. They had the wild mane and tail, and looked really angry for horses!

I got them from @evilstu when we met up at CanCon. They will be utilised as part of my ongoing Elf Project.

@limburger oh thats niiicee! Damn, I wish I’d got in on that KS!

@sundancer are you not more concerned by how all these Loonies see to have your address?

[sundancer 42939xp 0]

@woldenspoons not really. Mainly because I’m self employed and must have an imprint on my homepage with my complete address. So, anyone who knows my full name will find me eventually. It’s not that hard 😉

[woldenspoonsParticipant 3557xp 0]

OK. More worried they all seem to know your real name? ?
