What do you have planned for Easter?
« on: April 07, 2007, 11:49:28 AM »
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.

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  :lol:  so you'll have to wait a bit to see them.

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:  )

No Vodka bottles, though?

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

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

*grink!*

Oh yes, Comrade Pig said he approves, too.

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  :)

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????
