Clearly an insufficient degree of procrastination has lead to an increased factor of quality output.

Television is rather a frightening business. But I get all the relaxation I want from my collection of model soldiers. P. Cushing

Thank you.

I'm certainly getting there slowly!

HELP PLEASE

The black edges of the various pits are going to be hazard striped. Anyone got any advice on how to paint them in so that all the stripes are the same width and angle. There's about 18" of them to do, and I think they'll stand out badly unless they are very even.

I've been thinking of making some form of mask out of styrene to spray yellow through but that seems very fiddly for the various different locations.

I am wondering: Does no-one make ready-printed adhesive hazard stripe bands?

I'm sure it would be possible to print them on labels, then cut to the desired with/length, but I would think that there is a market for 'pro' made stuff??
Ask at the LAF, and answer shall thy be given!

Hassle free make some. But I wanted to paint them because the stuck on stuff doesn't look so good to me.

That's a great set of figures.

The geeks scientists are the best of the bunch in my eyes even if I know two of them and resemble the third!

Now I've seen the figures painted up, I have to say your figure painting is as good as your diorama building and detailing- bloody superb! I'm envious of your talents and your speed. Looking forward to seeing this all come together in one piece.

Thank you for all the positve comments guys.

Oh, and by the way ...

I just finished....

 :boing:

My back is killing me - i've done around 38 hours in this seat over the last three days, and I am thoroughly sick of the sight of yellow paint and the smell of superglue.

Episode VII - The Last Pedestrian.


A week last Tuesday, not far from a certain forest moon...

The Emperor is dead. The once mighty galactic empire is in turmoil; it's elite forces destroyed by a rag tag bunch of amateur insurgents and knee-high plushies armed only with native spears and slip hazards. The catastrophic failings of the mechanised walkers were clearly exposed.

With the death of the last of the Sith, scientific rationalism rather than a quasi-religious kratocracy, is in resurgence.

Assuming command of the remains of the empire military machine, in a ramshackle maintenance hanger, the new leader, Kim Wrong-Un, commands that all remaining bipedal units are retrofitted with a more proven motive method...






Lots more pictures will appear this afternoon...
