Just finished painting another Killer B figure, Corvus Libra. Three days from figure receipt to finished, I'm slowing up! :D

Nice :love: , mine ist still lying in the "To Do" pile...

Nicely done, Auton. I really like your take on the sculpt.
I'm actually quite fond of that sculpt, too. "Stand back! I am unleashing the positronic neuro-regonkulator!"

Nice Job!
He's going to be my Robot legion controller for 'March of the Metal Men' at Cold wars once Jerry gets him!

I think actually it's a 1930s mobile phone. He's saying "I've got a signal! Operator, can I have Llandrindod 239, please?"
-
I imagine it as a giant-insect-keeper-awayer for a bug hunt scenario. All the other characters would be huddling around him for safety.

Very nice. Do the bits on his hat spin when the machine's switched on?
-
Very nice Auton :)

Hummm... given the notoriously successful and busy love lifes of ingenious scientists, I wonder who´s hiding behind that. Welsh Vintage Telephone Erotica Services, I bet. Good Lord. :lol:
Great figure, nicely painted!

Oh, now you've done it. You've maligned Wales and thus earned the undying enmity of Plynkes. No doubt you will suffer horrible death the next time gunships cross African lakes.

Hurrah! Fame and fortune awaits!
Seriously, just good natured ol´ bantering. And if you look at it this way, it seems that the Welsh did NOT only pioneer transatlantic travel (that legendary priest´s voyage in the dark ages) and modern king-size railway tickets (Llanfairwhatsitsname), but also that never ending cornucopia of corny jokes, telephone "private services". :lol:
Just trying to pull my neck out of this noose, of course. Teutonic efficiency does not extend to being charming all the time and easily befriending others.

I was just teasing you. Dying in Poly's game will put you in good company. The Plynkes LAF Death Toll includes Grimm, Rich, Howard, and myself. :)

Worry not, my undying enmity usually only lasts about ten minutes.
Chris is already on the muster. Kapitanleutnant Westphalen has survived one battle so far (the same one in which Rick Rattrap was killed, and von Zoogla ran off screaming into the jungle, never to be seen again). Perhaps he needs to be transferred from his current cushy posting in the Kaiserliche Marine to somewhere a little more... interesting.
Something on the Western Front, perhaps? I hear there are some vacancies for Chartered Surveyors in the Verdun sector. I take it Chris has no objections to setting up a theodolite in the middle of no-man's land? Anytime after 21st Feb 1916 will do, there's no rush...
-
What happened to Howard? I can't remember that one.

Seriously, I had actually hoped to feature one day. Just hope it´s suitably amusing. Such as getting gripped by an enraged elephant and tossed over a cliff... if I´m lucky. If he´s in a bad mood, I´m sure it will a love-mad, short-sighted elephant.
Sorry. Still recovering from a bout of flu which hit me on saturday night as I returned from the LAF meet, so my jokes are off by a mile.

Well then, here he posts quicker than the speed of light.
I say, jolly decent of you, old chap. Vorwärts! I´m right behind you! :lol:
[EDIT]
Damn! Just re-read that battle report, and there I am, and a Uboat Commander to boot! Huzzah! How could I miss that one?!?

Interestingly enough, it seems there really was a U-Boat commander called Westphalen, though he served in a different war:

Didn't he command an armored car or something? It was that game where the plucky Brits attacked entrenched machineguns for Albion, the same game where Rattrap Rick bought it. If it hadn't been multiethnic and palm-treed, you could easily have mistaken the setting for Western Front.

Checking my meticulously catalogued collection of index cards...
Aha! Major H. 'Squinty' Whitehouse was indeed present at that engagement, in fact he was in command of the Entente Powers' forces. But he survived unscathed. The other LAFer to buy the proverbial farm that day was Sgt. M'Mala Mute of the KAR, God rest his soul.
