ouch....cellar works fine by me.... it just needs some planning and you cant be "nned it right this mninute..."
well with primer anyway...
although i primed some minis for my oldest son yesterday and i even smelled some fumes (cant smell a dead cat otherwise if it was shoved down my nostril....) so inhouse is for me too a no go...you cant get that stink away in a hurry....

at least the balcony when temp allows is a good way...though my wife would probably object agianst that too...she (over-)compensates my useless nose quite good...

I dont ave a celler im in a static mobile home

static mobile home

whats that supposed to mean?
trailor park or what? sorry if i dont understand...

That's what it sounds like to me - and don't laugh, I've seen many that are quite nice...

In fact, some in the San Diego area were all that and then some!

Alpharius is spot on.

Its a shame none of you live in a decaying tower block riddled with bullet holes - I would ask you to take pics.

Go to: images.google.com

Put in: world war two stalingrad

Rest in pieces.

Your terrain is comming together nicely , I think someone mentioned this earlier , but liquid nails or no more nails is perfect for gluing this stuff together ! Are you going to base the buildings with some mdf? btw i usually paint mine with exterior textured paint, gives it a nice surface for the paint ,but hates nicely painted minis uurrghh !

well i ahve to say i fel a bit sad for not living in beirut now...

Heres my cityscape so far, need another two buildings and some walkways before I can really call it ready to play on.

(quick plug) In the background is my plastic androids - They made us do a project on plastics at university and I was very sceptical, but it turned out nice - I want to do a big board of these faces like a chess board. Need funding and a venue first.

Ok that's a bit better, can make out some Sue Townsend, some Will Seolf and maybe some Jason Webster?(Not read him as far as I remember)

Oh yeah, buildings are nice too That actually looks like you made it out of breeze-blocks

Daft Punks in da house! The building look fun!, btw Thank you for the Mug It arrived safely and well packaged today , Iam very pleased with it and highly reccomend them!

Oh, yeah, should mention the androids too What you get when I reply from work - all a bit disjointed I like 'em, love the little baby hands for eyes A huge installation of those would be pretty cool. Did you mould the masks or were they 'found' ?

Looks like they will be good for Judge Dreed too

Well it was a tricky process actually - I bought a plain face mask from fancy dress shop but it had no fore head so I pressed it into a block of clay and hollowed out a forehead, then cast the space with plaster of paris - then I had a plaster face which I used a vaccum forming machine on to give multiple plastic faces. I was very pleased with the baby hands too! really freaky!
The books... not read webster either - I have hundreds of books because I sell them on ebay and ebid. Most of them are mine and I've read them - love will self and sue townsend. But sometimes people give me books just because they know I sell em. I have three bookshelves, probably over 500 books. I will make sure to include the bookshelves in my next photo so you can have a good book perv!

Glad the mug has arrived neil. I really loke drinking out of a homemade mug, it feels so smooth and organic on the lips - its almost like snogging tea. (no really) hahahahaha lol.

They are very judge dread I would say. I have a vague memory of a thing called block wars where the citizens just open fire on the tower block opposite because they are bored and lonely

Mongoose has the rules for the game on the website.

Hey monkey troll - Another opportunity to strain your eyes reading blurry book titles, picture also includes a new tower block. This one is a bit more open plan.

Thanks for the tip miss dee I will check it out

The ruls are not on PDF.

I can see star Trek dvd

that new block looks very promising!

Yay, book porn!
Yep, that's strained the ol' peepers all right. You big tease, they're so close to being legible. Bit of Banks (what's the omnibus ?) some Tom Sharpe, Stephen King, for a moment I thought the Inventions might be a big Heath Robinson book which would be pretty damn cool, but I'm guessing it's the Macmillan encyclopedia. Lots of stuff that's oh so close to being identifiable

I wouldn't be able to buy and sell books, as I just find it too difficult to part with books - a real pain with small dwellings (It broke my heart to cull a couple of hundred from my library when I moved in)

So how many of the androids do you have?

it really is a big heath robinson book

Just two androids, I messed a lot of the faces up in the rather trial and error processes of making them, and threw away a few because of the whole small living space issue!

I didn't like the idea of selling books at first, but then I realised that if I sold a book I liked then eventually I would come across it again at a car boot or charity shop. And so long as I always sell them for a little bit more than I buy them for I can buy as many as I want...

Talking about book porn is that pearl necklace i see three books up on the bottom left :-0

btw the tower blook looks like a carpark imo ,maybe you add some broken down vehicles , or parking markings?

It does look a bit like a car park - but the scale is wrong so its not.

That is pearl necklace - found that one in a friends attic. It was very funny and educational... I learned that being sick in the head is no barrier to a being a successful cartoonist! You've made me want to read it again now.

Now, see I avoided going down that route

It really is Heath Robinson? Cool. Oh yeah, I've just had a peek on amazon, hmm, maybe some more late christmas presents to myself.

Yeah, my head knows that I could easily come across the book later, but afraid the heart has a strict embargo on exports - my friends talk about me being really non-materialistic, but 'tis not true, me and books are like Smaug and treasure.

by the way your backround for your last pics reminded me on this all time favorite scene...

go to 1:20....

I pinched the heath robinson book off my dad. The machines in it are rather 'orky' dont you think?

I think it's entirely feasible that Mr Robison was channeling GorkaMekka.

Some of the stuff on Mongoose looks intersting Miss Dee. Is that a re-dux of the old JD rpg, or is it an entirely new product do you know? I'm guessing the latter as it states it was based on traveller, and I can't recall many similarities between the two systems, but that was what, 15-20 years ago now. If I still gamed the Stronty Dog and Slaine games would be a dead cert.

Its a new one that you have to have travaller to play it. thats why I stayed away from it

mugs more mugs. victors mug and one I'm just making on spec.
also started painting the dred

now thats what i call a quality update...really you´ve done the ol phoenix credit, i love it...so well then i think it is time for further info? via pm or here? color etc...

the dread i have seen in your beginings of this blog i guess and this will be a truly nostalgic happening^^ even if i am not that old in years and expierience to have witnessed these models in true...but it looks really good now primed and first washed...
