Eugh, trying to clear out the current batch of models sitting on my desk (and when I say desk that's ignoring the stuff which has to be worked on, but is sitting on the floor beside the desk). At the moment the immediate list of crap to work on is sitting at:
6 x Hazmat Suited Scientists
2 x Bandits
1 x Female Freedom Stalker
1 x Duty Exoskelton
1 x Gaz-69 Hillybilly Armoured Jeep
1 x Village Cottage (plus the furniture)
Luckily I cleared some of the crap which has to be worked on off my desk or that list would be longer...
Yeah more of my S.T.A.L.K.E.R. / Ukrainian War stuff pretty much. At least I finished the UAZ from yesterday. =P

Also, painting up some more deadzone scifi zombies/mutants. Doing a batch of 7 to double my small horde up to the holy number of 13. I'll be happy if I get all of those done... but I've got a few more things on the primed plate to go if I do.

Brought 15 Enforcers on my business trip. I'm building batches of 5 each night. Maybe hopping down to the local game store. Anyone know of Red Fox Comics in Lansing, MI and if they play Deadzone? Last time I was in there was 2 years ago.
Reality is a nice place to visit, but I'd hate to live there.

Due to work, I can usually only ship any sales or trades out on Saturday morning. Please trade/purchase with this in mind.

Nothing like an almost 12 hour work-day to blow up your schedule to smithereens.
Well, I'm really hoping to still advance the painting of the Sarge's arms. Gawds, want to complete this guy so much for that happy and fuzzy feeling inside.

When our apartment fire happened last summer, I was in the middle of working on a flyrant and my imperial knight. Both kits were mixed between the boxes as I was swapping back and forth between the projects in terms of modding/painting. (I wasn't making a 'nid knight, I was modding my flying hive tyrant for wings and both arms, since on the kit the wings take up an arms slot). (Also doing magnet work). They only pulled one of the boxes out of the fire. So I have 3/4 of a flyrant and most of an imperial knight.
Did a detailed inventory of the 'nid bits today..and started work on a swarmlord. Looks like I'll be picking up a swarmlord/hive tyrant main body bit from somewhere, as it seems that is the major piece that is missing.

I do not work for GW in any fashion. When I edit my post, either I've misspelled something, punctuation, or I'm fixing swearing. Oops.

If you contact GW customer service, they may help you out. GW does a lot of wrong these days, but their CS is second to none. Let them kno what happened, and see if they can help with the missing parts. Toss them the item number for what you still have. It's worth a shot, right?

Hah, that's pretty damn epic. Do you recall how many battlezones you went through to create it? Looks like you used 4 mats, 4x4' table of fairly dense urban terrain, quite nice. I really like the market stalls. Makes me think I should be building towards some greater purpose in terms of structures rather than just one-off buildings. Definitely tells a story, good work

Trying to paint eyes, think I'm going to give up on having any part of the eyes be white. Because I don't want any more bug-eyed cartoon guys in my army.
I mean, one or two is ok.

Today, I magnetized the weapons of my second heavy hovering vector such that I can play either an Assimilator or a Modulator.
A Conservator is mandatory as it has shield guard.

i'm working on creaing the Crimson Fist team from the first Rogue trader skirmish, The battle At The Farm. 15 marines and Pedro Cantor. about half done.
I also have 3 sisters redemptia that i am painting for the fun of painting, they'll end up in an inquisitorial warband eventually. they'reunder half done..
finally i am putting the finishing touches to a painting challenge i was set on another forum - i was sent a damaged metal chaos thug from the 80s and told to rebuild and paint it. so all i have left to do is base it
The usual stint of working on a few things at once. I tend to do a little bit hear and there on a couple models at a time, which winds up with things incrementally being finished, but forever having a table filled with half done crap. Today it was three more Stalkers to add to the existing lot (two male ones and a woman), along with painting a bit more of the armoured jeep I was working on yesterday. Along with those though I managed to start and finish painting a soft topped Land Rover somehow, though its hillbilly armoured brother didn't see any paint today (I'm procrastinating over whether to leave it as is or add some more bits to it as right now it'll do for wargaming, but it could do with more details). Ah right and I started on a quadbike as well.
So youknow ...stuff.
Along with that lot I made attempts at trying to track down a 1/48th scale Humvee. I could buy a kit for £20, but the pair that I already had cost me £1 each, so I'm not finding that price too thrilling. Beyond of course there always being a good use for a Humvee (I can think of a couple of ideas for converting one up) I'm wanting to turn one into the variant that's being used in Ukraine at the moment (to serve as a vehicle for the Military from the Stalker games. They can't very well drive about in hillbilly armoured jeeps and vans). Ideally I'd love to have a Gaz Tigr (Russian Humvee style vehicle)as well, though unfortunately nobody's made a model of the damn thing yet. Hmn, but that's just a random bit of info. Talking about the while I spent trawling ebay to find a Humvee on the cheap perhaps isn't best suited for this thread. =P
Sorry, but yeah that thing is a beast. The PKM sitting on top of an American Humvee is an interesting look.
