Maybe one day soon I will actually get some work done... wait, Gears Of War 3 is next month!

I need a vacation!

Says the man who played video games all weekend.

Haha, just saturday night. I work about 45 hours a week, so between my wife and family I have little free time. Hence a vacation would be great, especially before the newest lil space marine gets here

Does your work have Paternal leave? If so, you might be able to chill with the young 'un and get some hobbying done!

Apparently I get two weeks. Don't know how much hobby time I will get though. Good thinking though!

Feeling your pain a gamer myself atm, between space marine, dead island and soon gears of war 3. My hobby is on standby for now then there's skyrim in another months time it shall be glorious.

Good luck finding time for hobbying

Yep its a good time for the video games , dead space 2 for me at the moment , but holding out for Mass Effect 3,

So Dead Island is good ..? Excellent

Miss me? Sorry I have been away, just super busy. For those of you who are still subscribed thank you!.

I find out today if my baby is a boy or girl! Very exciting!

Just wanted you all to know I am alive, and dreaming of terrain! I have lots of great ideas and as soon as possible I will be returning to the painting table and even offering up a give away!

Thanks again,
Mike

Glad to see you still in the land of the living!

Thanks buddy, I may be a zombie here soon though!

Hey Mike , good to see your still alive , pink or blue eh ? look forward to seeing your dreams become a reality , though you do realize with kids , comes less terrain time ;-)

IT'S A GIRL!!!!!

Congrats!
And you're right, once she makes her debut you're going to turn into a zombie. You'll be able to turn back after a couple of years though.

AWESOMESAUCE!

So, you have the hello kitty marines on order?

I hear the standard My Little Pony terrain needs a bit of love

Grats! Pretty Marines incoming

grimdark cities will be replaced with dolls houses oh noes !

kidding ;-) Congrats Mike & Mrs Mike

Congrats!

Thanks fellas!

Also, I went to GW to see Dread Fleet and ended up buying the best thing they've done in years! Liquid green stuff

Awesome!

When did they release that? Definitely need to get me some of that (assuming thats just not a weird wind-up )

Let me know how it works, I'm a bit curious myself.

And congrats on the new spawn; my sister just had her first child (also a girl) now I must plan her corruption.

madmartykmf - Congrats dude

Vit - Definitely not a wind-up. I bought some at the weekend....though I'm not sure how to use it yet. Oh well next time I do some modelling I'll have to risk giving it a go.

Instore they where using it as a filler for cracks and such like on finceast .

lol That makes it sound like they came up with a product to fix the issues with another product

If you are interested in liquid greenstuff, check out this thread/blog.

Also includes some alternatives to it (such as the stuff Vallejo make).

I actually painted!

Let me know what you think.

Mike

... I really hope that is not your shiny new daughter you painted up

He does look pretty cool, though I notice a couple of mould lines which make Silver Sad. Might have also considered something other than black for the shaft of the hammer and the boots but otherwise looks pretty cool

Thanks Silver!

The mold lines were removed, guess I missed some (though I don't really see um)

As for the black handle and boots I wanted it to contrast the rest of model. Thanks for the comments!

Mike

Mould lines in spoilers so you don't have to know where they are to be driven mad

Just did some work with the liquid green stuff. I is really great and perfect for small imperfections or gaps! Creed had a hole in his head and a chunk missing from his collar... easy fix
Mike

Creed had a bald spot? Good job you outflanked a toupee for him
