I love novelty squads.

Your right too - that leg is just crying out for something. I was thinking thin swirly ivy patterns in purple - like wall paper! I might make your spanner glyph mug today - depending on how dry the mug body is when I get in. Did you decide what glaze colour/effect you want yet?

Prototype test subject operating within parameters.

lol, that shark is from a lego set, isn't it?

Ahh, the old purple ivy trick eh?

For the mug I'm thinking a fairly bright red with either a yellow or blue glyph plate if you used the plate, if you decided against the plate I think a nice dark red.

I couldn't afford an orlock heavy as they are like gold dust. So I bought this guy with no gun and no hands and wacked a massive gun on him - Auto-cannon or heavy stubber I guess. He needs some GS work to neaten him up

wow and i thought Antal had a big gun! looks cool are you going to add a belt feed ?

Yeah if I can figure out how!

Also here is a mug for an ork mech;

Dont you mean spanna?

That's a heavy stubber off of an IG tank. Great salvage job!

hey weety what did you do to your lightsource? looks like you switched something...
the heavy gunner looks dead serious...

I thought that was an Orlock heavy, or did you specifically mean a complete model? A conversion job's always better anyways says I

Nice mug, as it happens I know a mek who'd love one just like that

Oh, and I just found the box I'd lost with the doors and bonnet in, I'll get those off to you tomorrow, maybe throw in a belt feed if I see one before.

awsome! I will send up the ork-like steamroller soon - can wait to see what you make of it, I just know that a steamroller is what orks have always wanted for xmass. I think I need plasticard for the pickup - I might have a go with cardboard though.

He is an orlock heavy - its the ones without missing guns that are so damned expensive - like 7-8 quid at the mo.

I'm going to put some warhammer on ebay later today - free listing day and I've got loads of duplicate RT models and some old warhammer fantasy stuff.

Vic - light source is a big sheet of white card reflecting sunlight! I use it for the mugs and thought I would try - its very bright but a bit sterile and dull don't you think?

good luck with the listings

yep weety thats what i thought too, the LIFE is missing of your model now... also there are some nasty blue patches of light on the mini you normaly don´t have...

better go back to your regular rutine^^ much better pic results..and we love them that way much better!!

vik

heres a link to my listings - they are not cheap I'm afraid - dont really want to let them go but on the other hand there is not much point in keeping duplicates as I will never get around to painting them http://shop.ebay.co.uk/weetyskemian44/m.html

You're getting rid of some of your squats? Wish I could be that strict with myself

I shouldn't really but I'll probably bid on some of the old guard later. (see, there's that lack of willpower showing itself again)

awwwww.... no fair not offering europaen postage...
got me beady eye on that shotgun wielding goliath...would be a nice addition for my catachan force...err..aussi bushwhackers...(vets)...

vik

well If you want I will find out how much they are to post to europe? just let me know - I posted some to italy once and it wasn't too pricey.

I just can bear to paint the same mini twice, the collector in me demands that I have one of everything so I need the money to buy rarer ones!!

that is at least perfectly understandable...^^
i will stay informed and we´ll see who´s gonna save up for that mini^^

good luck with your selling...

For your entertainment!

@ manoky , good link

I have the four page spread on the whole terrain piece?

Do you want me to post it weet?

Go on then. It was fun to look at! Might as well see how they made it

it's great! a good scenary for whatewver you wan! nice nice

White Dwarf 259

When they still supported games other than: LOTR, WFB, W40k

Does anyone know of a good retailer for that pink styrofoam , i have always wanted a huge slab of it.

No, but you could get a piece of board insulation which is yellow and has a similar density texture I think.

I've no idea how much it costs, and it comes in like 2m by 1.5m sheets!

Pink foam insulation comes from DIY stores. Here in the US, you can get it in varying thicknesses at Lowe's or Home Depot.

They are sold in 4x8 sheets, typically, so either bring transport or a saw.

Working with the white styrofoam boards is not advised, as it is very, very messy.

what Briancj says works in germany too...
i guess when your in a DIY store and leave under two hours your not digesting the stuff sold thoroughly enough^^
there is an endless potential to the stuff you get there...

though i have to say weetys stargate looks superior to the white dwarven one^^

also if i can make a recommendation here to materials...:

there is a special rather thin styrofoam thats used to insulate kind of the wooden floar known as parquet floor...

the wooden panels get a underground builtup to mask sound... thsi is normally a white or a green foamsheat... also sometimes they use cork... but these foamsheats could be used for great wall building for archetectual buildings...


try to search in the wood department of your DIY store...

vik

Thanks guys will do that and sorry to Weety for hijacking her lovely thread

thats alright its all useful information. And there is not much in the way of photo updates at the mo - I am not in the zone just now.
