You can't force a hobby, it'll cease being fun.
Do something that you feel interested in and it'll call you back eventually.

Agreed. But you knew that anyway.

Look! I'm doing something!

1:72 Train Station

**Viktor von Domm**

now that is what i have been waiting for way too long!.... good to see you working on hobby stuff again mister!... i was getting worried for the poast days!...

fooled me for a sec that this might be something lego made^^ ...colors are rather bright...

will you build what the package describes...or are to taking liberties here?

have fun matey!

**shasolenzabi**

I am wondering if this will be a straight up project, or another old building in the far distant future?

**Viktor von Domm**

we´re in for a treat either way...

**lone dirty dog**

At last he is back and building

was starting to think I would have to find a new thread to steal idea's from

Not your normal scale though

**Viktor von Domm**

oh... didn´t read the sclae description^^

**Dr H**

Good to see you getting back into the swing of things Dave.

It's probably the right size for hobbits

**dsteingass**

Ahh thanks mates! nope, not my usual scale, this is 1/72, or Braille scale as it's affectionately referred to.
It's a brilliant modular design..lots of possibilities for customization, but I'm feeling like making it per the instructions, it's for an IPMS-USA review, and all my HO train stuff is packed away back in Ohio somewhere..

**Skalk Bloodaxe**

1/72 is such an odd scale for me. I love it and I hate it. I have a lot of soldiers and tanks from 1/72 that I wanted to use in Command Decision but no one else wanted to play 1/72. Anyway, I'm not really sure what I'm trying to say here. In any case I'm glad to see you modeling.

**dsteingass**

I like 1/72 because it's cheap to build an army, but painting soft plastic figs sucks. I use a ruleset called "Flying Lead" (A Lot like necromunda) and the games are all played on a 2x2' board. I also have the Command Decision ruleset, but I've never used it.

**lone dirty dog**

1/72nd Necromunda errrrmmmm that would be interesting

I hated that about the soft plastic soldiers you paint them and then it just flakes and brakes of

15mm is a cool scale...

I'm eagerly awaiting the All is Quiet on the Martian Front kickstarter.

I myself am waiting on Paulson games mecha front to come out with its 15mm scale. Glad o see some more work coming down the tubes. The old thread and some pms have gotten me to place an order from Iplasticsupply supply. Pleased to say 17.3 lbs of plastic card stock on its way to my door. (All because of you guys and your comments here. My wife would like a word ith each of you for waking here with my late night chuckles)

**dsteingass**

lol, plastic is better by the ton

You've gotta love big, American cars of the past

..And whitewalls

**Valhalla130**

Lego is amazing.

**inmygravenimage**

That Lego is a thing of pimpin' beauty.

**Viktor von Domm**

what i like best of this car is the way the designers turned and switched around the direction of the bricks... my son does that all of the time... nowadays you have so many different "cheating" bricks...

**dsteingass**

hah yep, it's not an official set, but it's very SNOTty (Studs Not On Top) I found the instructions in a German-made book actually

**Viktor von Domm**

with this methode you can produce very smooth lines for lego...

i wish one future day my son will become a lego kit designer.... a win win situation for all of us

**dsteingass**

Hell, I wanna be a kit designer!

Guess what..I'm in Love!

A new Puppy is adopting me!
She is a 2 or 3 month old Basenji-Rat Terrier mix, and a sweetheart

**Valhalla130**

Awww, congrats on the new puppy!

**lone dirty dog**

AWWWW it looks just like you Dave

I can see fallout lego scenes next

**Theophony**

Dave's next project will be plastic card battle armor for the dog.

And you better name it Rivet
