Rule #1- Always treat a weapon AS-IF it were loaded.

Rule#2- Then keep the damn thing loaded, because that is the only way it is any good to you

I can offer three explanations:
-Someone let Dave drive.
-Chuck Norris sneezed.
-Not enough rivets.

or possibly a combination of the above...

as a leading figure in riveting i can asure the interested audience here assembled that chuck norris doesn´t sneeze rivets...

Post by: shrike


Though I am all for the smoothchins, I found this sentence entertaining- "'Wow, that clean shaven guy looks manly as feth', said no one ever."

In my opinion, when it comes to facial hair, you've either got it or you don't. If you do, go out and rock it, if you don't, don't try. Like "jazz goatee" guy, just shave. Freddie Mercury guy, don't shave.

Ah, the metal on my skin forms little green blisters of nastiness, so I do not wear the things at all. Also, when I make a mistake and the x-acto slips, it really hurts a great deal! Hate it!, then I simply get rid of that with superglue to seal the wound!

at all the others...well i too use my small phone as a means for timekeeping...no smart phone, mind you...but that might change with the new job... but now i haz style for timekeeping... ad me to likes the pocketwatch because i never got warm with wearing a wrist watch...i even used a regular wristwatch for a time as a pocket watch ... but now that is way more cool^^

as to shrike...now there is a nasty image of a transaction of a watch from generation to generation forming in my mind...yeah i am the nasty person^^

at dave... yep...that carriage model will get a nice boiler... currently i am thinking how to use her...

as for the generous offer for pilots...thanks LDD and dave... i have to get some good ideas and then i come back at you...god i love that dakka collcetive^^


at shaso:
when I make a mistake and the x-acto slips, it really hurts a great deal!
er...don´t yu think that is mostly due to your skin not wanting to get perforated? i for one feel as much hurt when the knife slips...

If you prick us, do we not bleed? if you tickle us, do we not laugh? if you poison us, do we not die? and if you wrong us, shall we not revenge?

I really want a pocket watch, though if it were a digital pocket watch it'd be even better
I just prefer digital- never learnt to tell the time with analogue ...just kidding, but I prefer the time to be clearly displayed instead of spending valuable moments looking at all the hands

but yes, pocket watches are cool.

Actually, Gladiator is based on the real people that the film portrayed.

Marcus Aurelius existed.

Commodus, his son Existed.

Maximus Decimus Meridius existed, but not by that name, the character is based on a real gladiator who Commodus fought, but didn't die to.

It's not binary, which I admit would be annoying to read time in. Something about the position of the blocks. Outer ring is the hours showing which it is by the gap in the ring, while minutes are shown by a dot. The inner ring shows the second time zone in the same way. It's pretty confusing, but still the same as an analogue clock.

Nice avatar Vik fancy a change again mate funny there was a news report (use that term loosely ) on the bT home page about historically incorrect movies.

One point that seemed to be raised a lot was the fact to rewrite history (whether rightly or wrongly ) to keep the flow of the movie and to appease the viewers.

So really can you totally blame the directors or is more due to the demands of the viewer wanting entertaining.

Either way there are a lot of good and bad movies out there, some films will be loved and others will hate it and vice versa (now that it is a bad movie) .

P.S. let me know if or when you need the drivers


Imperial steam punk....what? this time e is really dead, bones? @ 2012/04/16 11:50:07

Dark future minis come up smaller than GW minis you do know this don't you

I would say 2 or 3 maybe I have a load of unbuilt sentinel's that i bought a while ago, though I was planning of having different posed drivers so the sitting ones are not that much use to me.

I could try and sculpt a set of legs for you maybe, but not knowing the style or the position would be a bit of a problem

hmmm... you give me lots of food for thought... well i have bid already on the first three...

really much smaller than GW? i havent done a scaleshot with my one sentinel driver yet... so i will do that later on...

sculpting legs for me...hmmm...now that sounds cool...how could i possibly assist you on this? what data would you need? iirc you asked what company these are from... i will check that later but i doubt i will find any information...

legs would be interesting as then i only need fresh cadian torso´s and i would be set... (which i want to get soon anyways... or i´d use some empire militia ones...)

Like how there has been a time travelling train.



Forget if it could travel through time or not, if more trains looked like that they wouldn't be robbed.

Wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong!

See this months National Geographic for more information please!!! The titanic Spliit bow from stern at 2:18am on the morning of the 15th of April 1812, the two sections now lay 1,970 feet apart from each other on the bottom of the Atlantic ocean. What the Film Titanic did not show was the fact, as she began to split in two under the strain from flooding, that she began to list to her port side as the stern rose from the sea.

Certain historical events and wars I read up on as I have an interest in that kind of thing

Yeah I agree with you Dave:

Steampunk = anything steam powered, without using an internal combustion engine. While holding a Victorian "adventurer" aesthetic. for e.g. Steamboy, League of extraordinary gentlemen, war of the worlds.

Dieselpunk = diesel powered verhicles/technology, but also occasionally harnessing nuclear power too. but upholding an Art Deco aesthetic with plenty of chrome. for E.g. WW2 stuck in the 1930's. Sky captain and the world or tomorrow, Bioshock, Fallout: 3.

It will help wit scale size, any pictures of a mini next to the seating area

If you want some legs I will have a go, but you will need to give me some kind of look as to clothing and style and the seating position itself.

I felt safer doing barrel rolls and dives and flying upside down in a Stearman Bi-plane than I do on a commercial plane...Probably because I had a parachute strapped to my back It was sooo much fun!

Good old mum they come up trumps at times

Vik so you want old English infantry style with gaiters or a very camp looking man

No get the gist but still need to see the position for seating that is the real issue as you want it to look right

in holland there are many crazy actions like that.
one where you could win a trip into space (from metro a free newspaper well technically this one was world wide)

you can win 1 kilo of gold at a radio station

q music had the dive to the titanic thing

guess how long it would take for a solid block of ice melted so a porche 911 was free. if you guessed it right you win the car.

live like a pro. there they made your soccer club like a real pro club with jaccuzzi's and the likes you'd win a players bus.

what can i say holland has some pretty weird prizes

I have never lost to Nids since the combination of last IG and Nid dex, both written by Crudacce,,,,seems he rigged the nids to lose tot he IG slowed 'em down and made it easy for Guard to load out on fire-power spammification. Even my Orks rocked the Nids.

I've never played nids apart from a 500 point per player 3 vs 3, where I used my ally's guard as meatshields until the hordes dwindled and my raven guard flew in and took out the synapse creatures.
I started to collect tyranids (got I think 1500 points), played a few games with them (won every time against marines/chaos), but they just weren't my style, so I stopped. I still use them for practicing my raven guard on when I get a new unit at home though

That depends on what kind of detail I am doing ? If it is a larger area I add 50-50 but then add a little more blue just to give it a more solid base, I do this as it is stronger and holds shape better but can be a pain to shape as hardens quicker.

Smaller detail and areas that need more sculpting add more yellow, this way I can shape it easier and it gives me longer to do it, also never roll it and then use it straight away I give it a few minutes once its uniformed in colour before I work with it.

Someone taught me the trick of given it a few minutes to cure before using it and it made all the difference, as for the shapers there are soft medium and hard plus varying shapes and sizes.

The one I sent you is good for large areas and I found the hard ended one was better for larger areas, the medium is good for small areas on minis and I use the smaller sized version.

Also the really soft tip I used for getting a smooth finish on areas with a lot of close detail that I don't want to rub out or over work this is also only in the small size.

Hope that helps with that sorry for the late reply but I was knackered last night .

What a great guy, that LDD I haven't gotten so much into the mix design (as LDD describes below), but the paintshaper takes some time to get used to. I would recommend a random side project or experiment first, not "that one perfect thing I've been dying to sculpt", if you know what I mean

Like I said, I'm not so familiar with changing mixes, but I've found that the leaving the GS for a few minutes is actually very helpful.

Good luck, Vik!

Yes, mix it up a bit Rawson it amazes me how much of a difference it can make when modelling, I found this out from one of the guys at my local GW store and was amazed at the results.

He also was the guy who put me onto the clay shapers, I was going to buy the GW sculpting tool at the time and he told me not to bother LOL sent me with a list of clay shapers to the art shop down the road.

Best advice I got to date I would say, really changed my sculpting skills.

Look at it like this the darker green it is the harder it forms, lighter the green softer it is and more manageable, but remember that when it is softer it takes longer to get sharper edges.

Also buy the GS in 2 separate parts if you can get, the stuff that comes joined has all ready started to cure, what I do when I get it like that (cheap on ebay) is cut the middle section out (use it if you wish for bulking stuff out).

Put the 2 separate colours in to sealable bags and put in the freezer till you need it (don't worry don't take long to defrost) this way it keeps longer.

sleeping is a must...so i´ve heard^^

the mix going into the more blue area i never even considered...will adapt to that for the right effect next time... for some reason i use way too much yellow...i am a very slow worker so i guess the extra curing time is all in the mix^^ so to speak... also i tend to work on multiple spaces /minis when i mix the GS... from the mixing my hands sometimes get very stained as i foind it quite hard to get it all even mixed...guess that´s why i tend to use more yellow...

i have a good feeling with the shaper and i think in about an hour i will start a sculpting session...

well the next as max always describes this on the honeydo list is making a hulk mini out of a lego mini for the kids... they are atm totaly hyped by the avengers (note an old TV cartoon series currentlöy on TV...) and they lack that extra muscle that the hulk provides...so i recruited an old lego...this one is a bit taller than standard lego minis and it will get covered as good as it is possible with gs to get me a hulk looking lego mini...cross your fingers... guess that falls uner the "that one perfect thing I've been dying to sculpt" ^^


thanks mates!

No probs Vik ……. but stop stealing your kids toys you will only have to replace them LOL

Good sculpting and one last bit of advice (which I learnt the hard way ) try not to do to much yes it sounds weird but build in sections once you achieve something you are happy with STOP!.

Green stuff I use comes in tubes like this.



They seem hard enough and come with little caps for the tops as well as a circle of what looks like foil to stop it from sticking to the lid and a thin plastic sheet wrapped around it to stop it sticking to the tube like all the other GS I've seen.

well max...we are here to keep your ego from going out to outer space^^

LDD...yeah i tried to stay true to that advice today... but i guess i did too much still^^ i try to be an overachiver but i lack the skill^^

at not_U : yep...that is the GS i currently use... stored that way is now the only stuff i accept to work with... i got cheaply some GW GS recently and i can only use it to fill sections with as it is almost cured in the middle between Y and B already... crappy way to sell reactive materials together???

at dave... nopr...i couldn´t bear butchering hagrid... he is one of my favorite characters... he was the one why i sticked to the books reading them in english...the german translated version lacks the slang hagrid or other characters use and i need that in a book... germans get so cramped when it comes to speech impediment...

so here goes...

that mini i used you connoisseur of lego designs will notice ...hopefully is a cop...a cop mini from an old range called jack stone...which i detest quite at large... the minis just look dumb in my view and lack character...which makes it perfect to do what i did to that mini...

which you see here at first in its natural state...




then...

i took off the cap...well in essence i effectifly lobotomized that poor fella...no mercy!!! off with his hat as the red queen would have said...^^



this reminds me a bit of that hannibal movie end...^^


then...the GS massacre started...

i sculpted the hair with a needle tool from my dentists tools...but the major work on the chest and abs i did with the new paintshaper provided by LDD...here is to you good sir!!!




next step would be to work on the neckmuscles..and the pants... i need to get that torn look and after that step...not before tomorrow i guess will be the sculpting of arms and back...

how do you like?

speak your mind as you see fit^^

cheers, vik

I think the theory is closer to "if you could see far enough" but in my case I think that I would have to be able to see pretty fething far to see myself from where you and Dave are right now.....

I think the abs are a little too defined (sharp edges I mean, not that he has done too many situps), but I think overall he's pretty awesome! Hair looks great, and it seems that you're getting the hang of the paintshaper pretty quick.

Keep up the good work!

thanks rawson... the shaper took some getting used to and i am learning as i go along.,..that is the bad side effect of having chums all around the world... you can never have them around and telling you what is what when you do the stuff... but well it is as it is...and yep... i second your view here the abs are too defined... i need to get me some referrence shots ...or probably a catachan bare chested mini (we all know they are pretty much hulk looking anyways^^) while i sculpt to get a feel of what looks right...

the best part was tho that my kids recognized the mini already...^^ well the color of the GS helped there^^

it will stay a toy for my kids... this also makes it kinda tricky...as it needs to be usable on lego bricks still after the sculpting work...so legs and arms need to be movable...
