Hey, I have a rare OT - what was the topic of this thread again?
Vik, this is total steampunk, a revolver ring!
http://wweapons.blogspot.com/2011/02/5-shot-ring-pistol-weird-weapons.html

that is the second cooliest ring ive ever seen, the one ring being the cooliest

have you read the engraving on the ring.... femme fatal... what were you saying again...we knew men were not created to be living with women... instead it seems we are created to get shot by them... now thats a wedding band that surley holds till death does part us...ohoh...

It was built in the 1800s, Victorian yes?

hahahaha didnt notice that

She only has six shots!

There was one on the TV Show Pawn Stars that had "Imperial Protector" engraved on it.

it just so happens that i have super hard skin do to my lack of eye sight and i can only be killed by a small blade stabbed into a certain part.. and no one shall know!

well how many do you think she might need... well actually given that calibbre of 5mm... i think all rounds ahev to be used to penetrate the skull of mine^^ ... it is a thick one at that^^

rogue ... are you saying you are achilles? then i know where to look for when you get cheeky on me...^^

and dstein... the sound as i speak pawn show... somehow reminds me of something non family friendly...

and i assume under the skin your skull is riveted shut so those should provide some extra protection

shut? why pray... a solid form doens´t need shutting now does it?...

little did you know that you where born, but died, than frankensteined back alive, although they didnt have any noses at the time, only brains that are obsessed with plastic, then you where sent back in time to be reborn!

HAHAHA, no it's a TV show of a pawn shop, people bring in their antiques and relics and sell them to the shop. Then this show spun-off another show about the guys who take old rusted stuff and sandblast it down, beat out all the dents, fill the holes, and repaint and restore the thing to it's original condition and resell it.

Here is a clip where they restore a Cold War Air Raid siren for a museum in Nevada (where the atomic cannon was tested)



- pic on my thread..wait...which thread is this again?

that show is an interesting show, but it is definently family frendly

current time thew clock says is: 3:35... in the night or make that early in the morning....which spells certainly bed time for me now...

feel free to banter on without me... the last one out makes the lights off!

at dstein... something like that is on air here on telly too...on at least now two channels independantly...well....



cheers mates... i hope i will be waking up in some hours... *yaaawwn*

wow 6 hour differnce didnt expect it to be that far, although i dont see why not. looks like about 3-4 threads will stop going off topic for some hours

HAHAHA! Vik keeps the spice in the chili around here

hehe thats one way of saying it.... mainly he brings the extreamly odd out from those who converse (like me)

We are all odd bro. Outcasts, or more like miscasts.

We have Nelsons chaps
Feet off the ground or it is bad luck!

and at the loss of a bacon hungry german we get a flying blue cat!!

I love the the Vik and the pirate ship for your children. I think I may start my blog tomorrow you guys are great inspiration. Keep up the good work and danke!

hey aboucher, thanks for joining this crazy bunch, be sure to leave your brain at the door...or sanity, whatver comes first...

We are the collection of misfit toymakers! ^^

well i feel fit as a fiddle^^

You'll not be callin me any sort of elf! Them's fight'in words!

It's better to be miscast, than FineCast...

thanks mates... my kids need shoes^^


vik

It's alright now Vik
We are safely off Nelsons and on to page 112

111 is called Nelsons and is an unlucky score in cricket.

oh... that is a cultural lack of knowledge than^^

The only thing I know what to do with a cricket bat is whack zombies.

for that task it is even superior than a good hickory slugga...as the cricket bat is wider...more room to hit the target...

by the way.... the hull and the bow is shaping up nicley and i will prove it tomorrow...

NEVER underestimate a good American Baseball Bat!
You'll break your hand before you break a Louisville Slugger

USA! USA! USA!

lol...ok the target will be most indifferent to the shape of the blunt object it get hit with... all the more if it is a soon to be terminally dead zombie...

Yes, and ALWAYS IN THE HEAD!

zombie talk mmmmmhm, right up my ally

Rivet gun. Puts the zombie down, keeps him down

only in the head... or if you are someone really cruel you chop´em up a treat at first...^^ like eating yelly babies...feet, arms... ears... then the head... because you can´t say i am cruel...well not twice at any rate^^

yeah... i see a definite lack of zombies in this thread...hmmm... every time i chat here it keeps me from my hobby duties......^^


Automatically Appended Next Post:
lol...monkey... who had you already last time threatened with yon rivet gun?

i think i would do a mixture of both to kill a zombie, i will catch one and put it in a pit, than i will shoot it with a rivet gun, then chop little peices off of it, then put them into pie and give them to a select amount of people, and then taking a pick axe to all of their heads!

a select amount of people

my weird fella radar is yelling like a horn...if a living would eat zomby flesh... would they turn into a zomby too? i mean it would surley infect them?

and you do realize that setting up a trap for a zoimby ALWAYS ends up with the guy that sets up the trap in pieces...? that what we educated call narrative imperative... it is built in... the more elaborate your anti zimby plans are... the sooner you´re one of them...

me i just use whatever is at hand... thus i am a survivor...but you know what...for the survival of a population not every single individual has to survive... someodd ends are just to be expected to perish in a catastorphy...loss is always to be expected... so plan ahead^^

Well, you know, if you feel some encouragement is necessary and you have a rivet gun handy, what you going to do?

well i recon... a rivetgun...how do they work anyway??? but i think of this piece as a boltgun... shooting rounds of steel in a head and then good ridance^^

I used to work in a sweet facory where we made jelly babies

My first job was sorting out the bits from the bobs. Any "imperfect" babies were cruelly discarded. Facist b'tards making me do that!!

I used to sometimes feel sorry for them and eat them and give them the life, erm, death for which they yearned.

if a zombie outbreak occured i'd hit up some supply stores and head to my old home where it is nice and isolated, and i have a good view from things around, plus since its PA there is alot of deer to hunt so im good on food, and there is a well on property


Automatically Appended Next Post:
lol chibi

see... you are again risking your life with careful planning.... watch closely movies of zomby infestation... always the ploter is the first one to get eaten...

chibi... that is a very humanitarian...er... jellytarian thing to do! or did you just tried to do this deed back then to get some karma points? scheming fella... oh:

Facist b'tards making me do that!!

that was such a good line... if i ever will be in a tight corner i quote you...or use you as an excuse... whatever comes first...

well if i take a group with me and make sure there is a girl in a shower, and an african fellow (see that wasnt a bad way of saying it) then i know i cant be the first to go

I think one of those big highway tunnels through the PA mountains coud be defended.

but if the girl is a nerd... with thick glasses you are one dummy short... so it is only fifty to fifty... so are the narrative rules... hey i didn´t make them...

oh yea mountain tunnel would be a good place to defend, but only if we can get some lights in there than a small group could do O.K., btw has anyone seen the discovery channels show called "The Colony"? there are 2 seasons and its about a group of people trying to survive, its interesting

WHat's wrong with nerdy girls with glasses?

Yeah, I've seen that, those people are really advocating Zombie Apocalypse preparedness.

nothing at all

Nerdy girl + glasses (steamed up) + shower = Too darned hot!!!

Not sure about the location of a mountain tunnel.
The credits on Dstein's video says, "Look out mountain!" which is a warning that they are firing a 280mm type 9 nuke warhead at the mountain!

Doesn't sound too safe to me

Zombies don't have the nuke gun tho. Diff thread..I think..whose is this again? What's the topic?

well if the world was in zombie mode i doubt there would be nukes in insignificant locations such as pa mountains

oh i had always something for glassed girls... preferably redheads with green eyes and freckles ...^^

the thing is... zomby apocalypse ...i think movie wise ever theory or plan was used and it didn´t work out...a tunnel is just the same as a submarine...a tank or other means of getting yourself in an oversized coffin...which it is after all...when you think about it...


Automatically Appended Next Post:
and i wouldn´t use nukes against zombies... talk about cutting your own flesh... what left afterwards... zombies all down but no grub and girls anymore...that´d be a dumb move and a half then...

thats whats wrong your thinking movie wise, first we have to think about which kind of zombie, slow or fast, then a good plan that dosent box you in should work for so long but in a place with no resorces no matter how good the plan, you are going to have to stray from the path

There are no nukes here.
ok, realistically you'll want some form of missile weapon, but the ammo will always be limited, so if you use up all your rivet gun ammo, what will your backup CCW be?

something durible and easy to take around but must have functionality other wise its a waste of energy, so i would take a crowbar, and the probibly a baseball bat

Rogue Wolves wrote:well if the world was in zombie mode i doubt there would be nukes in insignificant locations such as pa mountains

Actually, Part of Eisenhower's specs for the Interstate Highway sysem was that all the overpasses had to be so high to accomodate missile transport from coast to coast.

that reminds me isnt there a mountain fortrace that houses information and stuff, is it located in pa or somewhere else

I don't think that any of the underground bases we know about are important, it's the ones we don't know about.

if i would bet on my luck we would get those zombie types from 28 days later... fast as a panther...brutal and vicious and even sometimes clever...the worst kind... the crawlers and slurchers are quite good to deal with...and if all gets nutshaped... then you get even like resident evil zombie dogs and air cav like crows... then there is no safe place...

Nice....

oh and animals cannot gain the z-virus, im not exacly sure why but i heard it from some zombie society members

There must be a way of making a motorised multi flail with baseball bats attached for maximum zombie head home runnery fun?

guy.,... if i had a nuke... or came close to one... no one i know would be able to make it work.... so a crow bar is too my weapon of choice...and a cleaver... because you can never have to much cutting edge...hurhurhur

by the way... pa...stand for philly or pensilvania???

thats quite possible but would you use your electric/gas on a flail, or on survival gear?

sorry vik PA is Pennsylvania's state abriviation for Philly i would just say Philly

Flail
I wanna see those heads fly

Anyway as a good eco warrior my flail would be wind powered

stein dont you know there can be experts on fake things! there are global warming experts...

chibi i recon a good all terrain car can be fun enough...

and rogue... i saw co0rbies attacking quite a few humans... and they all had the z-virus... and who doesn´t remeber those ugly doberman mongrel zombies....zombie scientists... those will be the first to be on the menu anyway...they have lots of tasty brains....

zomby societey...wtf...

wind powered flail?!? i'd like to see that, stop modeling and go invent it !

HAHAHA

Actuaries, experts on how best to not pay your insurance claims.

im an expert on how to run from earth to the moon, i just havent been able to do it yet...

well it is soooo freaking time consumiong and with all the social interaction these days one doens´t get to do the really needed things... like for instance as you stated ...running to the moon...

i'll stick to miniatures, and movie making, i'll leave the exploring to the world to do on its own

but the world is always moving in crcles... this means it will never get anywhere...

thats why we have to explore the depths of the ocean, and the vast-ness of space!

my point exactly...by the way... what was the time in your soon to be raided by zombie country? i think i should get some sleep before the morning hits my ugly mug...

have a good night mate!

nighty night, dont let the zombies bite! and its 5:59 here so i'll stick to watching hockey

hocky clubs are also quite good for fending off the "Z"s





bye!!

yea but they break easier than a baseball bat

ah, but this is a steampunk thread, and we all know who the most steampunk nation is- us lot from blighty.
Therefore we must use cricket bats.

Swing the willow!

Dermott off the back foot with perfect timing carved Mrs. Trumpworthy's head over mid wicket into the third floor window above the Jones the Butchers!
A wonderful display of orthodox technique, but sadly under the rules of street cricket, it was six and out.

Huzzah!



Plague of the extraordinary riveters lol

that kind of reminded me of monty python^^ lol...what will they think of next...

the thing i like about hockey clubs is the curved hook...on the end... this kind of gives you and extra edge...

sorry to interrupt that discussion of anti zomby fighting with this mere disatraction of showing off some profress on the pirate ship...

the bow is not fir for showing as it is still curing the last forming piece of cardboard to the side... all the while then i did some work on the aftercastle and on the storage room...







note the uneven widows will be fixed!

vik

Now that's starting to look like a pirate ship!

P.S. Have you forgotten to change the thread title? Or are you afraid that people won't want to check out the "Zombie killing, rivet use discussing, sometimes pirate ship building" PMblog?

Sorry, I just don't "get" the game of Cricket. It seems even more boring to watch on TV than baseball to me.

The ship is looking very cool Vik!

rawson... you are spot on... i am even afraid to quote you ^^

and dstein... yup... i think both can be pretty boring... all those oh so cool movies about baseball are just condensed moments in a otherwise boring too long taking game...

Vik, the boat is cool and all, but where are the steam knights? I miss them sincerely!

Vik, the windows are uneven *trollface*
looking more piratey by the minute!
oh, and BTW...

Cricket games aren't for the sport, they're an excuse for us lot to annoy the aussies and it's become a piece of culture.

lol... briliant... poor aussies^^

rivets will be coming, trust me on this... all in good time^^

and i corrected the windows already...the state thy are now in...which i cant show you atm... is as best as they get...

at storag... the steamknights are in some kind of hibernation atm...the dealine of the ship is atm more pressing... but soonish they will get the amount of love they are entiteld^^

*aims shotgun*
I'm not redneck, I'm proud to be british!
... I just love shotguns.

hell i know... i see your flag... but i see shotguns only with rednecks... for obvious reasons...after all you brits have such nice weapon of choice as cocumber sandwiches... see... that would be something to threaten someone with... and they live even afterwards you gave these weapons of intestine destruction and are able to tell the tale...

I'd love to see a fight between america and UK... They bring WMD's and shotguns, we bring cucumber sandwiches and cuppa's...

*puu-uuuul*
crack crack

Damn fine shot dontchya know what what

i say:





whats

WMD

my precious?

Well the brits could also bring hounds and blunderbuss'...

for some reason when i think of a shot gunn now i think of a pump action one and not the gentleman one with double barrels ... talk about loosing civilization to the benefit of those americans...tststs...can you hand me some of that cucumbersandiches my dear...thats my boy....

heh

BTW "WMD" stands for Weapons of Mass Destruction, nukes and the like...
terribly unsporting.

yup totally gross those thingummies...a clean knife at point blank is always something one sees the personal touch in...

or both barrels in the mouth...

that only messes with your own clothes.... no shotgun at point blank... if you happen to have a 22 caliber gun... then go on... but anything bigger than 9mm would ruin your shirt...

Nah, I just bring my butler with me to clean up

hmmm.... good thinking... but would your butler be 100% trustworthy... or would he call the biobbies on you? better close and personal without further witnesses

Butlers are good with whatever, providing you choose a british one- they just act like it's the norm- think Bruce Wayne's butler

well then... i think all is possible...


oh by the way... tomorrow around 11 CET i will be on my way to visit my family... they re on a holiday and i will stay with them for the remainder of the weekend...

Alfred was the Batbutler

By God if there is one thing we Brits know how to do and do jolly well, it is how to butle!

ps your pirate ship could have swashbutles to serve the Capn and his guests, Vik

swashbutles...that has either something to do wit botles are bucklers...am i right... is to butle a verb? i am currently not at home so all my links to my translation site are not with me...

Don't think it is a "proper" word

butled, butling

Informal to serve as a butler: a humorous usage
Origin: < butler

Just something people say to describe what butlers do, not that it leaves us any wiser!

ah thanks for that.... you never know where ones road might travel and when on a party i would rather die than sound like a foreign oaf and get bested with some for others well known facts...

*lost track of time*
so is this your final week of the ship, or is there another to go?

i visit the family... and then i go back all alone and have another week and weekend up till november the 22 alone time to work on the ship... the steamknights and some errands i have to make till the family is back agian...hopefully it is time enough once i start painting to get the ship all done... it would be quite the disapointment for me kids to have the ship not battle ready... it is THE talk each day when i talk with them on the phone...

New rule for Vik's army. During the third turn, each unit of the Viktorians must make a LD check at the start of the Move phase. Using a single d6, if the die rolls a 1, the unit must stop and break for Tea, no moves or shooting may be allowed this turn by the unit, but they defend if they are charged, (afterall, how incensed would you be if they knocked over your tea set?), the only units not having to make this role are the ones already engaged in a Hand to Hand situation. Even vehicles will break for tea on a 1 rolled.

heh

brillaint house rule!!!!!!! i will definatly remeber this if it ever comes to a full game...! i mean it... for praetorians this house rule is a must!

oh they fully well know that the ship is well attended at home...also i sent them a printout of the built diary you too get to see here... very useful to document the development of such projects....

my oskar wants a circus made by dady after the ship... oh oh.... for those that are able to make good trenches they get a bigger shovel for to make even more trenches...

wounded models can have the option of breaking for tea, which means no moving/shooting for a turn but regains a lost wound.

makes sense too....refreshements anyone?

Dstein's already spotted the bally gaff! Too late to edit the blunder!

so probably the last picture update befor the weekend ends...



the promised bow... it is now definatly peaked.... mayn layers of PVA tissue and cardboard built a sharp^^ edge to that boat...

as for foxhunting... banned havans preserve... hunting was always something i sincerely despised... if it wasn´t for all that handy meat in the shops i would be probably a vegetarian... but alas i honor the tormented animals with my tasteful cooking and then later on delightful easting them... in all honesty i never could kill an animal...if push came to shove i could kill a man, to protect me and my family but an animal would always look like i would be cheating.... if a man cant outsmart an animal he isn´t much different...

Why are they deleting pics?

I love the Steampunk look and EVERYTHING!! it is such a cool idea!

at nightfall...: thanks mate, you are official the first african inhabitan to be seen on this thread and i am proud to have conquered that landmass now too^^ yeah steampunky is something that caught me fully^^ it is the craftmanship and the ...well... olor harmony of the materials like brass and wood that always gets me going...i miss that kind of style in the modern times...


at shrike... well souls are worthless... they come in packjs of ten in every church... so it is obvious that an abeay auction would only come out with an amount as such...really if someone would have sold his heart... the money would have come in in a torrent^^ a liver would have been worth a dozen hearts at that... if someone would take into acount the drinking some peeps do^^

sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo hows the ship coming?

Yeeargh Matey! Front an' Center for Inspection!

sorry chaps... today was a lazy day... in all seriousness i haven´t done a single step on the ship...a dear friend here at dakka...someone this thread will dearly miss will be leaving dakka due to some serious bouts with the modquisition...unfairness and such things happened for far too long now and he is calling the quits... i hope he will reconsidere still...

so i was in discussion with him, myslef and some other dire things in RL as well that i wasn´t in the mood... sorry mates... i promise something presentable tomorrow... by the way... tomorrow i will visit the shop in berlin that i have came across foamcore for the first time...hopefully i can behave myself and not spend the childrens christamas money ^^

dont wory vik take your german time (: oh and i thought/stole an oompa loompa ryme for next idea you get but i cant waite, Vikory Dickory Dawsome, Damn That Idea Is Totaly Awsome!

I've been grumpy all day too, the madness of the Country, politics, news, weather, it had me bummed. I even started a politics column in the OT area to vent my frustrations. But then I got a massage, and cooked sausage and potatoes and ate them. ANd drank 2 beers. Now I feel better.

I've had enough loss lately, this news saddens me.

the sausage and potatoes can cure almost anything

But only if they are served with Hefeweizen!

saw your thread... but i wasn´t sure if someone from outside with as much little knowledge in politics in general and you U.S. politics specially should comment there^^
well a full stomach sure has a soothing effect...sometimes...

Vikory Dickory Dawsome, Damn That Idea Is Totaly Awsome!

lol...mates you are so twisted... i like that very much^^

Vik, one of the posters on that thread is from the UK, and another feels like our National Identity is shamed. I think it would be refreshing to hear your opinions. Remember, our media only shows us pictures of middle-eastern opinions of the US on a daily basis.

Viktor von Domm wrote:ok... will look into that blog for sure...

as you might notice from the comment here... me...back...! with vengance.... as the brocken pics got deleted... someone doesn´t want be to post pics of my builts with playmobil minis on them.... nasty bugger....i hope your uderwear will cringe your peas....!!!!!!!!!!!

oh and i still wobbe you all...! most dearly!


yours truly wobb...er... vik

Hey sorry to hear that (I was on vacation so it wasn't me) feel free to repost here.

thanks kid kyoto planned an update this evening...so all will end well thats´s ending well...or how was that supposed to go?^^

ok dstein... i think i could do with a bit of reading... that thread of your´s is growing^^

Hey guys, looks a bit down in the mouth around these ere parts .. sorry about the pics vik , but nice move Kyoto ;-) i think we should all take a leaf out of Dst's book and get a massage ;-)

Good luck resisting the Foam core ..

Ok, I'm completely bored. Vik, you're slacking bud!
What? you say that "I" am slacking too?...yaya you're right

today is a slow week for the wargamer

ook... for you my friends i will climb down and make some progress pics to oggle upon... was due anyway but i was more into working on something than taking pics...motivation wasn´t that high... lonlyness is still creeping up on me every five minutes...ok... progressing for updates...

Viktor von Domm wrote:motivation wasn´t that high... lonlyness is still creeping up on me every five minutes...

Don't worry, Vik! You have all of your internet friends to keep you company! And, as everyone knows, internet friends are at least one step above imaginary friends

so lads and ladies...
todays long awaited picture update i want to start at first with a big thank you to a fellow riveter...thanks dstein! today i received a big epic amount of plastic materials i will sooinish use to make more riveting goodnesses^^ it is in fact the first time then i will make something out of plasticcard...so cross fingers for me on that journey^^

after the suply drop courtesy of dstein i will show you the earlier deleted pics of some shots of the populated pirate ship as "was"... followed by the new detailed up pics of the ship...connoisseurs of rivets will duly note that i have begun the riveting process on that side as well...but as the song goes we only have begun...

so without further ado...:






the last pic here is one work of dstein from his own circutcutter...one of these days...damn these tools are hot^^

a scale shot of half added riveted plates for stabilizing the planks...


newly detailed crowsnest...


and mast base...











i hope you enjoyed your stay^^

cheers, vik

the problem is... it opens a window to all those parrelel worlds... you look beside you and see all the same faces looking to you too... all have their different ideas as to how to use this stuff now... which mnakes it oh so difficult to choose in the here and now after seeing all those possibilities^^

but one can then be asure as somewhere each idea got done^^

It has been scientifically proven that mirrors are actually gateways to a parallel universe which we cannot enter. Notice how everything in a mirror is back-to-front?
Parallel universe.

lol...

So there I was, checking up on Dakka in the evening. "Oh look! Unread posts on Vik's steampunk thread!" And this is what I got:

Viktor von Domm wrote:lol...

A bit underwhelming, as unread posts go

That being said, I feel like I've been razzing you a bit lately, Vik. Let me know if it get's to be too much. In most settings, one can read facial expressions to know when the jokes have gone far enough. Not so on Dakka...

you wouldna want to see my face mate...


that is me... exept that i don´t grin my teeth, or am totally bald or have such a round head or am so fully red in the face...oh and i have wonderful warm looking brown eyes too... so in fact this is so very much not me...

but i do like the feel of someone sizzling in their own fear of what migt he have overdone a bit mwaauuahahuahuauha^^

Don't expect me to be posting much (or at all) this upcoming week, I'm incredibly busy...
This saturday and sunday I have to go to school 10:00-4:00, monday 8:00-5:00, and the rest of the week 8:30-3:00 then 6:00-11:00- that's 67 hours in a week (35 more than normal), which is pretty big considering GSCE's are but a few months away.
Piled on that I have chemistry, biology, DT and graphics coursework to catch up on, two GCSE tests to revise on for after christmas, around 10 mock exams in a couple of week's time to revise for, plus I have the dentist on my back.

"Cheer up, this is the best time of your life!"
IT GETS WORSE?!

*hits head on keyboard*

*takes several deep breaths*
glad I got that out of my system.

first... it does get worse...and i am serious... and then...the dentist on your back...??? wtf...you seem to have some serious jaw problems... seems you should rather visit the orthodontist...with you having as it seems teeth on your back... good point of you for not showing your mug on the interwebs...phew^^

by the way... what business have you to be in school on the weekend... smells like some theatre or something.... beware the

the dentist isn't literally on my back, I just have a bunch of appointments with him and the orthodontists over the next few months- just another pebble on the mound of stuff I need to get past.
Weekend and after school for so long is rigging, programming and running the lights for the school production. (so theatre is pretty much bang on ^^)

Shiver me timbers its a picture update ;-)
Beautiful work again Vik , and that's a lovely collection of potential rivets there curtsey of Dst. hes a generous chap isn't he . Keep that up and you will be giving modellers a good reputation..

so the orthodontists was not only my joke... sorry mate...but remember this... if he helps you you get nice teeth and a girl someday that wants to kiss and everything else instead of looking like a saw^^ i wish my parents gad me sent to one to correct my teeth back then...gave me quite some trouble later on...by the way i know finally have a good dentist at hand and this relieves much of my anxieties over visits to the dentist...find a good one you can trust is what i am saying...

well it really seems a big package to work through...and even after christmas more of that... ouch...

at neil... yep i was quite astonished about this package...^^ and i will put it to good use!

I'm trying to hold it down so that I get friday and saturday off (revision wise) and so far I seem to be doing it, it's just the coursework gets in the way somewhat and school productions don't help either

yup in that combination it is a devourer of time...

Normally I can fit in around an hour's revision, plus an hour's homework, and have around 2-3 hours of free time on a school evening, it's just a series of unfortunate events ATM ^^

I say good job fine chap *sips tea* I couldnt resist

thank you sir!^^ and tea is good for ye...so no point in excusing yourself^^ (by the way...funny name of yours lol)

at shrike...it is a bit of lemon time to you it seems...and not having enough time for oneself can really drain your energy...

TBH I think that I get too much free time, and that I'm just not used to getting any less.

you call 2-3 hours a day free time too much? ups...ok...wont say a thing further...

Hey, you get most of the day free time, you unemployed devil you
and, thinking about it, I've had around 4 hours free today, but that's because I haven't got round to revising today and got no homework...

well thats right... sometimes i even get bored ;P

Viktor von Domm wrote:i know finally have a good dentist at hand and this relieves much of my anxieties over visits to the dentist...find a good one you can trust is what i am saying...

Me too, my dentist gives me Nitrous Oxide

lol...in fact this would bother me no end... i need my senses in every situation... i am in fact a controlfreak... so i won´t even get drunk too much or use ear wax when sleeping.... i know quite the phobic person i am but what can you do?^^

The Nitrous keeps me from punching him in the face by reflex when he hits my sensitive nerves! lol

so he is in fact not protecting you from the hurt but him from harm...lol...priceless...

reminds me of an old al bundy scene...the dentist gave him the Nitrous and he drank some booze and then said... this way we both wont feel a thing....lol

HAHA, I loved that show!

me too^^

vik tis a sweet looking boat sir

thank you very much!^^

im going to need to get some practice in the art of boatmaking as i need to make a nice one for a dock on our mordheim board

have you seen this thread here:

http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/398588.page

at first he builds a tower and then he moves on to built boats...

he is a genius...

thank you sir, (twill be a nice addition to my collection){say that to yourself with a general grevous voice}

loool^^ i prefer still the darth vader version... together we can rule the galaxy...^^

the deep black guy voice doent work with this one, i could have said " thank you my master " instead of thank you sir, and that would have worked

The old Warhammer General's Compendium has a lot of tuts on boat-making, big and small.

i am always on the lookout for that book... it is just to expensive for me atm... ebay sells it also too expensive...

you know if anyone ever gets it you could accedently take pictures of your minis in front of the tutorial pages just for a nice backround and all

I have it, but it's a victim of GW's cheap-ass binding days, all the pages are falling out.

i would call that not cheap but a relic^^

): like i said, it could make a nice backdrop to a blurry picture of your minis (:

ok

thank you! and your not going to belive what happened, i went down to my local GW to do some spraying and someone had that book!!

Enough chatting! Where's that update?!?! Ok, coming down now...

P.S. RogueWolves, I'm honored that I made it into your sig block! I'm glad someone around here understands how funny I am

dont work rawson, its just filling the gap untill i find something to make "riveting" to you guys.....( huh huh get it?! )

lol....rawson and rogue you are a pair^^

at dstein... wow lovley footage you have provided us with... specially like those shark bases... does it say how these were done?
the how to pics in the second pic of yours make it look so easy...hmmm... makes me feel a bit miserable to have started 40k instead of mordheim^^

many thanks mate!

dsteingass wrote:ok

really interessing!

dont wory vik its not that i only started mordheim, its just that its happening first so i need to build that first

well...but somehow sometime 40k minis grow old on me^^

been a bit lazy today... guess i will later on do some riveting^^ the beast has to be completed...

rivetize me cap'n

lol... i was actually the last hour sending on papermache filling some gaps and riveting some steel plates t the ship...does that help ye? now i hope for quick drying and then i can do more rivets on the other side... this work has to end...argh....not for the rivets but i have other plans as well and i need to get that ship offa my table...

I know that feeling....ready to be done with a project!
This is a stressful time in the project-phase for me too.
You should always work at whatever speed remains fun, otherwise it just feels like work.

that! my fiend^^

but still, this work is a promise to my kids ... so i have a deadline till next tuesday...by midday it has to be finished...and dry enough to be proped up to hold a crew...


by the way... currently the bootom of thsi ship is kind of flat with the odd edge sticking out.... i wonder if any of you have an idea as to how to make this ship be able to float over the carpet waves without getting cought in some carpethairs...it is sadly too late to make wheels for the ship...any other ideas?

do it fast and do it noW!

lol... am doing it... doing it all right^^ sheesh^^


mind telling me tho what i should be doing?

how does the front of the bottom look?
square- ]
curved to a point (this but longer)- }
triangular- >
because if it's pointed, then the only other way I can think of is adding a strip to the bottom, though this wouldn't let it stand up...

to be honest i have thought to add skids like a sleigh... two at that... and the front bottom is for now very uneven...main pain so to speak... that has to be fixed tomorrow... i thought i get me some half disk shaped sticks...like so:



and maje the ends nice and round and thus let the boat sit on thoe and it can be dragged on the carpet then...

why didn't I think of that instead of just having one and it falling over?

well what about three then? one a bit longer in the middle? would that make it further easier to skid over the ground?

Indeed, three would probably work best

Why it's too late to add a wheels? If you can add skids, then it's possible to add wheels on this skids. May be some kind of a removable wheels, so the ship can sail any surface. I know, it sounds tricky...
Well, just my thoughts of that matter.

well the skidds would mainly be just some lenght of wood shaped to fit the bill...for wheels i firstly had to have wheels that i could use, and then i had to mount them and also i had to sink them into the belly of the ship... so not to raise the ship to high...i should have thought about that before...sadly my planning lacks forsight...most of the time anyway...

What about fitting small wheels from some toy into the skids? It's never too late, like they say...
But, well, I understand you - it's really a pain in the ass to add or remove something, when you're almost finished. In most cases it's unnecessary even.

you have a valit point mate... but for this project i also have to consider the force my kids are able to muster up... so it will only be skids... i have to say i feel more comfy for this solution...if i would have to make wheels work here i had to drill big wholes into the hull....very uncomfy feel about that at this time i say...

Well, if when you put it this way... Definitely with skids only it will be more durable construction overall.

my thoughts exactly...

Going for that caravel style?

why do you ask? seems i have misunderstood you there...

The images of the Imperial boats were caravels(ancient trade ships) but your present boat for the boys and their wars seems a bit more advanced than that medeival design the GW posted

well i guess a bit of the steampunk influence is also there... at löeast it will get a steely bow...which porbably will do a lot to set the thing apart from other ships...some things it seems i cant do without^^

A ramming prow! that would be mean!

well kind of^^ looks a bit like those icebraker ships...

ARRRR! RAMMING SPEED!

my point exactly...^^

Or instead of a ram you could have a giant steam powered hammer. That's an unique idea

I say fix a couple of working cannons and add a steel prow (just make sure to sharpen it)

that would be safe for the kids, right?
As long as the prow isn't coated in lead paint and the cannons only fire ball bearings?

ok chaps... the skidds are now in place...behold...

and here are some pics of the prow...later on it will look steelplated...

about the cannons...well i have thought about that but for now i am at a loss as to how to build at least two of those in a hurry....

Cannons!
http://www.amazon.com/PLAYMOBIL-ADD-7335-2-CANNONS/dp/B004YDSDK8

WOW

of course the thought rather just leaped at me too to buy some playmobile cannons... i thought more of the self made variant...


at dakkagrot... thank you... i take that as a compliment^^

playmobil cannons could work- after all, it'd be better bought as then the characters can hold the loading stick thingies and they can actually fire.
