They are skulls not runes

Thanks all, I am really pleased with this old geezer too. The paint job worked well - Adding random colours starting with the largest area and just thinking what would go with that one until I get to the little details. First try at osl - easier than it looks.

The auction is going well. People like the models.

I am a bit stumped as to what to paint next. A chaos marine? mabe a chaos squat? or another inquisitor? Or maybe a sanctioned psyker, they are a really cool model.

A rogue squat marine psyker cyborg attached to a heretical inquisitor's retinue?






Or a bunny wabbit.

hahahaha! bunny wabbit. Actually I'm painting a small demonic one-eyed monster type thing, but it does have big ears and big feet!

But does it have sharp..pointy..teeth ?

Looking good Weety!

Very good return to form.

How many models do you average a week?

I have just started painting again. Though it is more of a scatter gun approach as I have loads of models with some paint on and none near done.

I probably mange at least 3 a week - taking into account weeks where I do nothing. A while ago I commented that I had masses of free time to paint in - not so anymore; not only is the mug trade booming but I have got myself an allotment with a friend which we are digging and planting in whenever the weather is nice. And work work is dragging its feet on giving me hoiidays. That said I like being busy - it will make me fitter and less lazy.

Funnily enough the little one eyed monster does have big teef, lots of em... Here he is - not finished yet

And here also are some mugs in a natural light

That's the happiest one eyed monster I ever did see! It makes me think of labrador puppies.
Nice beastmen too by the way.

looks cool, that monster^^

pm sent about the mug^^

vik

Nice looking gribbly, he does look very happy about something. Allotments are great, nothing like freshly picked food.

But what is this 'natural light' you speak of?

thats the burning sensation you get when getting too close to the unprotected window...you do have a window close by? if not ask the warden to open the padded doors once in a while to let some fresh unused light in...

Well, if by 'close by' you mean 15 feet up and surrounded by bars, yes

And the warden refuses to talk to me after 'the mongoose incident'

sounds like you should give more detail about said incident...

you know only for therapeutical help...

orr i wanna hug that monster , and his big gnarly teeth, and i doubt either vik or monkey will ever be allowed out of that asylum anytime soon , so we can all sleep soundly

Sorry vik, I'm not allowed to talk about it, otherwise they'll take away my crayons and I'll have to visit Bubba again for more 'lessons'.

I think he might have a severe case of glaucoma.

Is that when that girl from Firefly/Serenity falls into a very deep sleep lasting several weeks?

Yeah, it's pretty poor. What do you want from me at this time of morning?

Er

I have no idea what Serenity is!

Thanks, saved me adding my own ghost town/dust bowl reference

It's too poor a pun to be worth explaining to be fair.

Haha. Sorry. You have to remember that I don't watch TV, and that I live in a country where Wowowee is the most popular thing.

It gets worse...there are dancers, and singing, and games...and it lasts for 5 hrs a episode!

That's fine, I only watch TV when I'm round friends, and generally don't pay too much attention then, just enough to make sarky comments about whatever's happening, my TV is for films and gaming, and that not as often as it used to be, think I OD'd on tele when I was a teen

Ditto! Except games...:-( I've been waiting to play fallout 3 for 12 years. Still haven't managed to get a powerful enough pc.

LLol - the chap in the wowowee vid has a name tag that reads 'Poon', and I wonder what super bawang is. Is poon a common name out there? No disrespect to Poon of course I'm sure my name sounds silly to him.
TV has gone massivly down hill. In fact considering where it started it must be several miles underground by now. I mostly watch the russian news channel to see which country is going to overthrow its leaders next. I'm hoping its us...

In other news I am building a great wall of sod - (this might be a challenge for vic to translate accurately)

since some of the threads i regularly visit seem to go astray in lower levels of conversation i am guessing here that it means either:

1. grass and other low growing plants...like weet...
or
2. bum...which proves low conversational topics again...

or it could be an actual model of a sisters of battle (with different suffex...)


vik

or 4. i haven´t got a clue and i am in 1- 3. in the total wrong^^

lol , tumbleweed , poontang and a great wall of sod ... its weetys surrealist blog! @ manoknok you should consider getting yourself an xbox and fallout new vegas first.

Build a wall , that is very 80's ( more surrealism )

still no real help for translating here? don´t let me starve in the darkness...

'Sod', peat, compacted mud and grass. Basically, an earthen-wall.

Of course, she could also be building a wall with which to tell her neighbors to 'sod-off'. You never know.

the sod off argument was instantly in my mind...but its difficult to do to be a subject in a forum of plastic toysoldier modeling and painting...

well maybe we get to see some hobbits made by weety?

one might never know before^^...

vik

I'm afraid its just a wall made out of turf (grass) but it is very hobbit like! I'm building a hobbit farm. Living the dream.

lol... cool nevertheless^^
