I think Cap'n V's nemesis right now is Vik and his paintbrush

I'll just leave these here...

The enigmatic soldier known as Captain Victory leads an elite group of intergalactic rangers through the mysterious and deadly cosmos, fighting against forces set on the destruction of life, itself! But who is this man, and what does he want?
This special introductory issue written by Sterling Gates and drawn by Wagner Reis starts with a bang, as the deadliest battle Captain Victory and his men have ever fought begins!

Well, this is easily explained.

Quite obviously, Vik finished Captain Viktory and won the competition. Drunk with power, he laboured upon a machine that would assure his vic(k?)tory in all his works. After many moons of hard toil (including procrastination, and taking his sons to the park for father-and-son time of plotting, endless plotting...) and many prematurely cremated laboratory assistants, the machine was built; a time machine.

With a great crackle, Vik travelled through the continuum, hell bent on his victory. Upon reaching 1981, he forced comic book creator Jack Kirby to create a comic about Viktory's exploits at rivetgun-point. He did make sure the 'k' was changed to a 'c' to avoid suspicion, however, because Vik is a smart-ass

Upon doing this, he activated his time machine once more, and travelled further backwards. In these adventures, he (in no particular order) invented the tank, punched a penguin in the face, started the nation of Vikland (which was unfortunately crushed by the British Empire), founded all towns and cities in the world that begin with V (Vicksburg, for example ), and bedded Princess Elizabeth before she became Queen.


Or it was a coincidence, but you and I both know how unlikely that is.....

LOL, that's great !!

Vik where are you, you're missing your own history here

BTW, if you are infact Captain Viktory, you sure look like a crazy version of He-Man... Did you train in the same Austrian gym as Arnie?

LOL... at LooT i literally laughed myself silly reading that piece of my alleged history... what a corckscrew of a mind you have...i think i have to chain you in my cellar to write all of my fluff from now on...

at ruglud... in fact... all my muscles have never needed to be trained... just mere chips, coke and gummybears and chocolate were enough to build a juicy hunk of a man you would see if you would be sitting in front of me

and yeah... that captains likeness is strikingly close to he man... coincidence? hmmm...dont think so^^

as for arch enemies of captain victory... he will come... of course he will be a red skullish character... in fact... he is already planned... as i have for this special job a very suitable head...courtesy of RS Jake... he gave me some very cool looking skullheads with a peaked cap too... so very stylish red skull it will be!

but more to this later on... i haven´t been on that much as i had a big meeting at work, wich pi...ed me off no end... tho everything turned out for the better... it was still close to early retirement from that job... we´ll have to see where this whole schtik will lead to...cross your fingers for me...(i know i am a bit vague here but it is also mobbing/bullying related... so by keeping a certain kind of lid on it i try to shelter myself with forgetfulness a bit...)

and... since i can´t keep my head that focused atm... i started something for the leagues new competition... it´s about vehicles...and i am quite confident that i can show you tomorrow the first fruits of my labor in that regard^^


keep well my friends!

yours vik(tory)

Eeugh, don't talk to me about work - my direct manager is about to go on maternity and rather than get some temporary cover in all her work gets given to me, so now I have two jobs to get done, no extra pay and the expectation that it'll all get done.. Needless to say I'll be working late most days for the next year...

Sorry to bitch on your thread Vik !

Back to the models Mr Wonka

Ahh..picking the battles at work. relax for the weekend Vik, hobby-time solves everything.

@Vik I use the same bulking regime as you LOL, mind you all that training beats you after a while

@Ruglud you are looking at this all wrong its called opportunity the chance to flourish and show your potential, all the grief and hassle and no extra pay like feth …….

LOL, yeah that's what I said last time she went on maternity, but I'm still doing the same role for the same money - either I failed miserably or i'm not appreciated enough Still, lookingonthe bright side, I guess I should be thankful to have a job considering I work in banking (no, i'm not an evil banker...) Guess you're right though LDD... Chin up and best foot forward...

I see the issue here its middle management syndrome, this is when you do the job to well therefore promotion is denied and you have to continue taking the gak

Good luck maybe some body will notice the good work you are doing, but if not feth it up so badly that way you wont have to cover the next time she gets nocked up

but guys what about spidy? OR batman!!!!!

I think Vik's glider already stands in for Batman, Hazzer. Not so sure about Spidey.... who needs webs when you have dirigibles?

And at Vik, *bows in gratitude* at your service. If you ever need fluff fluffier than a plate of McCains chips, I'm your man!

who needs webs when you have dirigibles?

And what about such Spidy?

Or Dr. O


I really love the idea of comic heroes re-imagined as parts of Vik's force Seems like an endless source of creativity.

Get ALL the Avengers
And ALL the Justice League
And while we're at it, ALL the Power Rangers, ALL the crew of the Starship Enterprise (original series AND Next Generation) and the Voyager, and.... Danger Mouse.

Definitely Danger Mouse....

well mates... still no update from me... but you all are providing excellent duty here already! what truly nice finds... a steampunky spidey? whoa...good find storag... and my mind already works ferverish as to what bitz would be needed for this... i am thinking a catachan medic head for the start^^

as for the batman referrence... well i swear... i wasn´t thinking about him for this ... but i get the referrence... sublime messages i think

one thing tho... i am a marvel fan... so probably no supes or the likes ...if at all... a lex luthor that is about to kryptonite the living daylights outa him

but i am more than willing to bring a sort of steampunky evil vs hero edition of marvels who is who... some kind of steampunk ´munda one could name them splenidid idea you all^^

as for work... well i have a week off from work now... playing lego with the kids (we got us an AT-RT just this day ) and also doing lots hobby works...if allowed by the high powers that be (namly my wife ) an when doing this atm... i am working on a ship... pics will happen tomorrow for definite... i am always way too lazy to have the cam near me when working on something hobby related...*looks sheepish* i know, i know^^

and again about work... ruglud... that sounds nasty... i would opt for working harder and better than her... and make it obvious for the upper class jerks/ bosses that she is afterwards not needed anymore

at LooT... and what about han? or vader? them not needed too?

Well, I thought Star Wars was a given, Vik. I didn't think it necessary to mention, so glaringly obvious it was

And yes, Lego..... in true manly form, I spent four hours today playing with Lego. I'm seventeen in 8 days, you know

lol... well there is absolutly no age limit for lego^^... if there ever will be... i am done for^^

eight days... eight days...gosh... wish i could still say it was eight years ago!!! over two decades and still counting...argh...

and yeah... star wars... obvious reasons... obvious choices... one has to do what one has to do

DEADPOOL.

funny you mentioning this... but that was my first creation...:



probably needs a lot of resculpting... but it was a start.... now where did i put this fella again ?

Looks like I shall have to also see about doing the Khadrovian supersoldiers? An interesting counter project to Vik's new batch

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_Super-Soldiers


Oh Vik, the door that has been opened!

It will have to be standing up on the two legs as Ursa Major still was as smart as his human form. Oh my, now we will know what The Khadrovian Politburo did with all the Mutants and Psykers they could keep and train.

Reaper has almost any animal miniature you can think of.
..Except an Australian Cattle dog..no one makes a mini suitable for Dogmeat

No decent dogmeat!? Vinni needs to do it!

wow i dont visit enough

Hello again Vik and crew,

Just thought I'd pop in to show this cool map picture I found on Wikipedia, showing all Queen Victoria's Dominions at the close of the 19th century.



Thought that this might inspire some sort of banner, or propaganda poster.

Also, loving the progress on Captain Viktory, hope he gets that nemesis soon!

hello boys and gals!

i know it has been a long time since i showed up in my own thread...

the kids are at home and somehow i felt not that inclined to spend too much time online...

but i do like that you´ve kept this thread alive nonetheless! great big thank you to all!

but don´t get me wrong here... haven´t been lazy by far!
carnival is upon us atm and my kids will celebrate getting into new characters with their freshly made costumes in the next week... meaning...my wife and me have a hell of a time to finish said costumes and props for that occasion in time...

what they will look like? well... Star Wars is as prominet a theme as it always was and no less for my kids... and being the understanding and cool parents that we are... my wife atm and me are making for oskar a Luke Skywalker outfit from scratch (return of the jedi!) and for felix an Han Solo outfit from the empire strikes back...!!!

so while my wife is sweing like blazes... i am creating han solos blaster from scratch... well sort of...the only toy gun i got hold of atm wasn´t that true to the iconic shape... but i did my best...

have a look:







soon the last gapfilling can be sanded and then i will prime this fella...

after that details will be painted and soon we have to make a fitting holster even!!! man... we must be hating ourselves as much as we love our kids

later tonight i will be true to my words and show you the boat i am working on!


cheers, vik
