What do you have planned for Easter?

[Gunbird]

This is what I am doing:


Though the car might be too big, I think it was a steal price wise, the flying boat will become a tad more civilised and floating in the water and the dinosaur will get based and decomposed a bit

One great weekend, nobody around, all the time for myself, and for under 10 euro's.

My kids have had those excavate dinos, they are buried in a plaster and you have a little brish and dowel chisel. It took them housr and kept them entertained

Brunch w/ the in-laws...

I'm thinking of throwing myself down the stairs so as to avoid the more awful pain of having to go...

I am just finishing off a company of Royal Navy Commandoes for Crossfire which I've been painting this week (32 figures).

I took a photo but it was rubbish  ::  so you'll have to wait a bit to see them.

[matakishi]

Oh, and tomorrow I'm playing a game with Paul Darnell, AWI I believe. There'll be photos of it in issue 4 of Touching History. (I'm in issue three already  :wink:  )

The project for next few days here is to create this Russian Pig Launcher:

From this:



With this ammo:



All from a local charity shop.

No Vodka bottles, though?

A pig launcher is nice enough, but a DRUNKEN pig launcher, now that's something!  ::

[PeteMurray]

I very much endorse the pig mortar for your Sokhumi units.

*grink!*

Oh yes, Comrade Pig said he approves, too.

I'm another stuck with having to go to the in-laws.



Now where did I leave that noose and gallows pole..........?


Squint.

Me, I'm going to be one of the in-laws for another unfortunate soul (my half-sister's husband) to have to spend easter with. The prospect is no more exciting from this side of the fence, really.

I wonder when the all-round reluctance to spend time with one's in-laws is going to reach critical mass and humanity will just reach the consensus we don't have to do it anymore

I've just built a secret ninja tower  ::
Sometimes my mind just wanders.......

i'm working on Black Scorpion Old West girls. And pirates. And dwarves. And watching Deadwood

[Gunbird]

And this is where I am after one day.



New engine mount out of layered styrene, aft opening boarded up and ready for filler and sanding. Not sure if I want to add a small turret up front behind the cockpit or not, and I need something to board up the new engine.





New superstructure added, with a walkway that has room for 2 models. Accidentally glued the door in place without thinking so I'll have to make that right. Guntub on the rear is loose and a try out version, it needs plasticcard, magnets an of course a gun.

Still some way to go with these and the dinobones are now in a puddle of mud (just tossed the brick into a bucket of hot water, better clean it up today)

And cleaned up the dinosaurs too:

Picked these up in the local toystore, 3 euro's a pack.







Scary actually, how much they are in scale compared to 20mm figs. And easy too, as I don't have to order slabs of resin with these embedded and I can make up my own corpses. I prefer my dinosaurs a bit fresher, see....

C'mon, Piers/The Man from La Mancha's King Kong can't have the island to himself, now can he

Hmm, wonder what it would be like to have a pulp game in which the archaeologist or paleontologist players have to physically excavate dino bones or something else out of one of these kits during the course of the game?
