The backup got used up, too

lol dave...^^

and i woulnd´t use paper... use cardboard rivets instead... then you can do with PVA what you earlier did with superglue... savings on the materials...not to be sneezed at

I have just started a "secret" project" here are some hints
It involves a big bucket, a tube, a commissar hat, and lots of rivets.
And i am also making a 7" cardboard circle

no clue... could be for small scale stripping minis... or you might make a commander hat for a league outfit ? should i´ve used spoilers ?

Neither of those, the commissar hat is a lot smaller than one for a human head, but a bit bigger around than a soda can.

are ye forging a muppet? LOL

No
Here is a big hint:

..Does it involve bewbs in any way?

No

lol... what does the face of your GF look like when you type bewbs on your keyboard? they do have that special radar sense for those occasions^^

so then i think it is a stompa...^^

my GF??..LOL she would giggle that's all We'll be watching How It's Made on the Science Channel and she'll giggle and say "He said knob" or "he said penetration"

Yes, vik, it is a stompa! you win the prize of knowing that you won!
And it will be a blood axe one, too- complete with a giant kommissar hat! I will probably make the hat out of paper mache, with a base structure made of a cut up circle, as well as the strange bit that gave me the idea!

I love it when strange bits come together!

So It "goes both ways", then

well we know your better half... and she lifts womendom up a treat! tho this conversation now reminds me a bit of beavis and butthead

HA! i knew it... hmm... and what strange bit might that be?...

I don't even know what the part is
Also, I'm going to use the gauze method from dave's thread on the stompa, because it is a blood axe. There will be hazard stripes, for the "lol" factor. It will have rhinos for feet, and a chainsword with "evereefink on it!"
Though I believe I have run out of glue, again...

ah my youngling... you were but a wee seed in your fathers...*?&$%&/ back then i guess^^

never heard of saturday night live?...ALL the best american comedians showed up there before they got famous for real!

lol... serial super glue fail LOL...

rhino for feet? wow... a bit steep isn´t it? does this model have to be able to be played at a GW shop? just asking... otherwise i would suggest you get a nice track propelled toy... chopp it apart and you probably save millllions^^

I've heard of saturday night live, I just haven't heard of that skit before.
Rhinos for feet: because old rhinos, and I'm too lazy to go out and buy something
Besides, they were dismantled with other plans recently, I just decided that they would be better for this.

How about some pictures?

What'sn the base model on the armored car?

It's a toy from Rite Aid (a pharmacy, though it's almost like a suburban convenience store). It was about $5-$10, American. Not much modification: cereal box card for the window covers and armor, a chimera turret for the "multilaser", a scout heavy bolter, both guns are magnetized, just in case. I also added a flag and a bedroll. Still needs to be finished, of course.

Still needs to be finished, of course.

story of most hobbyists^^

and that´s quite a nice bunch of imperial vehicles... the "monowheeler" looks quite interesting... a coupla more shots wouldn´t hurt!

No shots, yet, but I have just acquired a sentinel, some spray primer, some paints, and a new brush.
Also, I can't take credit for the wheelbike idea, it wasn't originally mine: http://www.dakkadakka.com/core/gallery-viewimage.jsp?i=340834 You guys should really check out his work: it's really cool!
So, now I have two sentinels- one with an autocannon and smoke launchers, and another with a heavy flamer, smoke launchers, and a future camo net. That will be my fast attack

ah engine of war... yeah... his stuff is from another galaxy too^^... not much unlike your somewhat crazy stuff...

by the way... those engines of your monowheeler... are those tube caps of tomatojuice or something? i collected these for turbines and jets too

Thanks! The turbines are actually from superglue caps; there is a huge variety: something you'd discover, if you used as much superglue as I do (good luck: I use more of that than water in the summertime!)

lol... i am still a bit tnese when working with it... even when i am wearing gloves for protection... my first attempts kind of made me a bit too afraid of the stuff later on...

Vik is afraid of superglue for some reason

I love the new stuff Glom!

Thanks! I use superglue pretty much exclusively: I can't do what I do with just plastic glue, and I spend enough on glue as it is!
Just primed the sentinel, some catachan veterans, and a chimera. The baneblade is not primed yet, as I want it to have my exclusive attention.

How about some old catachan pics?


They "forgot" to hang this one, he's just too funny


Harker. I may give him a different name though. Any ideas?


This guy was promoted to company commander! Look in the gallery to see his name.


My counts-as marbo! He is kicking the demo charge.


This is the ccs before the promotion of the current commander, and the painting of the armored staff car.

How's that for a blast from the past!?

the harker you could name tiny... always makes sense to name such hulks that way
and red? lol... leader of the blue team... hahaha^^ i bet he looks more´n just stern when you don´t call him SIR^^

What is that Superheavy turret from?

Nice to see things taking shape and looking ready.
