I’d try and get them to down to the bare plastic and start from scratch.
July 22, 2019 at 1:17 pm #1416959Another sunny day and all is well with the world…
@limburger – I don’t like to contradict you, but that new ‘Docgtor’ is an insult to every doctor before her…it is just SJW/snowflake cultural propaganda slopped-oot by the BBC.
You are fooling nobody…that is a crashed UFO and they just plastered over it! It was in a David Icke video so it must be true.
@cpauls1 – just off to the post office! Back soon.
July 22, 2019 at 1:27 pm #1416960July 22, 2019 at 2:55 pm #1416999Good morning all!
Back at work today, so no access to YouTube. Everything immoral or fun is blocked.
@oriskany congrats on completing your pledge! Thanks to you and to @rasmus for the battle report.
@tuffyears Sometimes you can save the models with brake fluid, but check with a bit of sprue or something first to make sure it doesn’t eat the plastic.
@unclejimmy The remotes are from Anvil Industries in the UK. Here’s a painted one from the site.
There’s also a missile version. I bought a bunch of both flavours for my combat team
They make some decent drones as well. I just ordered four of these for my recce troop.
There’s a weapon for it as well.
They have some other good bits, but I find their mini’s look a bit out of proportion.
Beautiful pics of Eve and your grandpug!
I will get you some individual shots of the crewmen and ship’s troops when I get home. Everyone’s ready for a boarding action, either defending their own ship or attacking one. Crew are armed with laser pistols and cutlasses, or laser carbines. Ship’s troops are mostly armed with boarding shotguns with bayonets fixed, and also carry a snub pistol and a K-bar.
Thanks for the bits!
I was tempted to shoot out the transformer on the power pole where the rave was getting its juice from. Easy shot from a few hundred yards. Vi talked me out of it. I’ve decided I will petition for noise by-laws in our municipality and attend a council meeting or two.
Here’s all the stuff that got ripped off last year. I’ve since replaced all of it, but haven’t painted anything yet:
Back to work!
July 22, 2019 at 5:03 pm #1417071@unclejimmy it’s the original District 9 and Alien Nation …
Or did anyone think those movies were fiction ? 😉//
It looks like American tv has hit cucumber season, ’cause they discovered the art of doing nothing
https://time.com/5622094/what-is-niksen/?
I thought everyone knew how to do nothing, especially civil servants …
Anyways … you might want to learn that art once the heatwave hits.
Also this apparently makes Americans wonder :
The Dutch do childhood differently. Children are taught not to depend too much on adults; adults are taught to allow children to solve their own problems. And so there is the custom of "droppings" — leaving kids in the forest to find their way home alone. https://t.co/WHkBnMREMg

I guess they don’t realise how small our country is and that it is practically impossible to get lost in the woods around here.
It’s not exactly the wild untamed nature.July 22, 2019 at 5:33 pm #1417076I like the new Doctor. She’s really good. I don’t even mind the big squad.
I did think the Mistress was brilliant. Almost as good a reveal as The Professor.
July 22, 2019 at 5:50 pm #1417078Finally got my Dark Angels’ Dice Bag knit… now to work out on how to add Chapter symbol that doesn’t involve a further decent into madness.
July 22, 2019 at 6:14 pm #1417083@robert Did you knit that yourself? That’s great! I’ll see if my missus knows an easy way to do something like that. Do you have the symbol? Could you make a cross stitch pattern?
July 22, 2019 at 6:22 pm #1417086@cpauls1 yeah, I taught myself to knit… can’t master crochet yet. It was an experiment to see if I could knit easily rolled up fields for scenery, and now I do a wee bit every now and again when watching TV or listening to music. One of my sisters is very crafty and is a good cross stitcher so I may outsource it 🙂
July 22, 2019 at 6:56 pm #1417091@oriskany – NO! The broadside missed. Knackers. 20pts. Bloody amazing battle report. I really missed them.
The ‘ship-sheets’ are great. Not like Star Fleet Battles. Oh, the squares…
I am not sure you are trying hard enough with your pledge. B- must try harder! (100pts)
@rasmus – better luck next time.
@limburger – it is a rather good cover version. Dave showed it to me. 20pts. Dave used to play their albums when he was doing his body building…
@horati0nosebl0wer – better you than me. I can’t even change a light-bulb. Fortunatly, I am great at paying people who can do such things!
You are ‘new’ to me! 50pts. Do you know what ‘prag’ means? I spent some time away down Ward C (again).
Dunny is definatley one of your. Blame P:CBH for it! 50pts. Just like ‘thunderbox’, ‘dacks’, and ‘rip-start’.
It might have been odd, but did you have a good time? Home in time for tea and medals…
Orc rule. Everyone is feared of Orcs in BB. I long while ago I was club champion…with Skaven though.
@tuffyears – paintstripper! Not is they are plactic.
@cpauls1 – there is a box on it’s way as you read this. I have the tracking number if you need it. Those remotes are stunning. Let me have a look at them…
July 22, 2019 at 7:08 pm #1417098@horati0nosebl0wer It’s not even autumn yet so don’t make me think of winter… XD
@everybody sorry for my lack of interaction but current hobby motivation energy levels are… rock bottom for some reason. I’m half way through my two weeks vacation and only now I’m starting to relax. Trying to catch up on all the OTT videos at the moment 😉
July 22, 2019 at 7:25 pm #1417100@unclejimmy Thank you! Always looking for things to pile on the decks of armoured vehicles: picks, shovels, rucksacks, ammo cans… and no, none of it will be hanging on the sides. I watched a young lieutenant make that mistake — kit for miles.
I’ve got my two armoured cars done, and have got two boxes of these fellows that are going to run ahead of the armoured cars and four jeeps. I’ll be doing head and weapon swaps, as some of them are beyond stupid… and then there’s the matter of having a gun in your throttle hand!
Found a pic of our kitten Eve at about 4 weeks, just after her eyes opened:
July 22, 2019 at 8:07 pm #1417116ah … that is a cute kitty. I almost want to eat it.
That’s what KitKat are right ? Chocolate covered kitties …Which had is throttle on a motorcycle ?
And can’t they be futuristic motorcycles with a throttle foot instead ? 😉Cultists are sneaky … they’re also on my list of armies I shall build … if I ever get to building.
Need to stick with my current plan though.Bundle of Holding are doing a Mekton RPG bundle.
https://bundleofholding.com/presents/MektonAnd they still got the Conan bundle, which is awesome in both art and mechanics. (disclaimer : I backed the kickstarter for this)

Sing my minions … sing …
July 22, 2019 at 9:29 pm #1417135Good evening goys and birls. During the search for a box to send stuff to @cpauls1 I found a huge stash of 40Gay bits and pieces…
There are at least 8 Thousand Sons and a Squad leader mini.
There is ten times that amount. Some WFB bits too. Anyone in the mood for trading? Failing that if you need some particular part then just let me know. It will be all older stuff as I haven’t bought a Wacoshop product for 8-10 years. Let me know of they will just get chucked out. We are clearing the caravan at last.
@limburger – shhhhh, or the MiB’s will get you! I do really like that building. We used to get about quite a bit, seeing bands and what-have-you, but we always took out some time for visiting some local architecture. Cemeteries were one of our favourites.
What is ‘cucumber season’? My friend Sandra loved cucumbers…frozen ones! Is it a similar thing? 20pts.
I don’t see any problem with doing that. Obviously, if their are Wolves or BBC radio DJ’s in the area, you wouldn’t. However, my dad has a large collection of books all about hunting and most of them are at least 100 years old – they are full of stories from South Africa and Australia where young boys are dropped into a pit with a Hog and a knife and just left to it! Brutal, but they were brutal times.
Children are coddled too much. I used to wander about in the woods when I was 5-8 all alone. That was what you did and nothing ever happened. I fell and landed, left forearm first, on some rocks while out wandering during the summer holidays. I did cry, but after that passed and I realised I wasn’t going to die, I picked myself up and jogged home as fast as I could.
Fractured it, but I did get to punch Mohammed Ali! To counter this I have seen ‘children’ aged 10-12 on a bus/train that break-down when they lose their phone signal. Pussies.
There was a documentary about a Russian prison out in the middle of nowhere. To escape you would have to get through the nearby forest…which is the size of GERMANY! Stick the really bad children out there for 30 minutes.
If you have a two-wheeled motorbike then you would have trouble contolling it with your feet. Left foor changes your gears and the right is for the rear brake. I wish I could still ride.
@woldenspoons – the ‘Mistress’ is just another bit of political correct stupidity. The Master was a really ominous and scary character. As a child he really gave me the fear. Just think what an evil Time Lord could do if allowed to do what he wants?
The lady that plays the ‘Mistress’ was better as the Nazi-loving femdom queen in ‘Bad Education’. Serverlan from ‘Blakes’s 7’ was almost my “mistress”! 50pts. Even her name is sexy. The Doctor has to be an old(er) man. If I were some Universally evil force, and met the new Doctor, I would just kick her head in. Job done. No 13 year-old girl is going to stop my plans of terror.
I heard some comedian say that Doctor Who must be from Glasgow…an old man dragging a young girl away while holding a screwdriver! Go up Kelvin Grove Park and there are loads.
So, are you a secret submissive?
@robert – knitting rules. 100pts. My grandmother taught me when I was really young. She could knit at about 99C. That is a geeky joke for those of you that missed it. I would knit sleeping bags for my Action Man collection. 50pts.
I don’t think I could do it now. It has been a while. I can sew and darn too. I was pretty good at stiching skin too.
For a design you could get something to go in a knitting machine if you are stuch! Just a thought.
Might these be of any use to you…
@sundancer – well, I planned to be here until at least wednesday if you get a burst of energy. 20pts. I have a similar problem, but mine is controlled by my post-stroke fatigue. At the minute I am flying, but I have to very careful how much I do – when I do a bit too much then I am left on my back for an unknown pariod of time. It is much better than it was 2 years ago. Back then if I was getting 3-4 days on my feet the consultant was doing backflips. BUPA is well worth it! 50pts.
@cpauls1 – “HELLO VI!” 100pts. I wish I was able to travel and I would have been over there before now. Getting to Newcastle to see The Smyths (look again if you missed it) it a military campaign. My dad is on stand-by as QRF. Marillion played in Newcastle. That is 14 miles from me by road and I got to the Tyne Bridge, which is 300m from the venue, and had to give him a call. We have made it to a few gigs, but I have to do a bit of fitness in the weeks before to make sure I am strong enough. How fucking stupid does that sound? Well, as I always say…”nil desperandum”.
That kitty has massive paws. They have to grow into them! Lovely colours. If I lived where you do I would never see my beasts. They build six houses on some land at the bottom of the street. My cats were never away! I did get talking to the first guy who moved it. He is the owner of the land and his wife was worried that living in the middle of a building site would be a nightmare…all the digging means rats and mice. He said that he hadn’t seen a single one. He added, “…mind you, there are a few cats that are always around.” It was Rufus and Rosie.
Sleepy Rufus. When has was just a kitten some dickless retard must have kicked him in the face. He came in with a smashed jaw – so bad that all they could do was take out the broken bones (the front part of the faw on the right side) and just leave it! He was home three days later eating crunchy buscuits. Hard as nails. So when ne relaxes, or you fuss him, the tongue just hangs out.
July 22, 2019 at 9:34 pm #1417136What is BUPA @unclejimmy ? Some abbreviations don’t get translated into other languages and google and duckduckgo aren’t very helpful either
