yep its face off time...but without cage and travolta please...otherwise i would loose my last meal...

Never quite managed to watch that with a straight face... (sound of wind whistling)

I might be ok with that as long as you paint me a new face... I do however have one stipulation, I am not to resemble the joker when you are done

well whats to be said against a cheery smile all day long?

Darkman??

ähem... more like the joker...darkman... wasn´t he shrouded and in search for skintissue for his wife?....thats showing lots of aged knowlegde^^

More soft focus star gate porn with space pirates

that is so cool and ancient looking...but one thing i have to say... the control panel looks a bit like a croissant to me... is there something that you could do about it?

and your minis look delicious^^

'Right Davy, you go check out what's on the other side, I'm gonna stay here and plan how to get that giant jellybean off Petey without him noticing'

To the croissant question - It does not look like a croissant! I'm just not seeing it... More like a banana

Massive jelly bean mmmmmmm. He even has a smaller jelly bean in reserve

Wow good job , we love your soft focus porn the contrast is cant think of a word ... mmmmbhlammo! purple with stars... stargate looks real .

like the pirates but love that necromancer

croissants, bananas...whats the difference at the end of the day?... just some calories to get you through the day^^

Well, it's important to keep a back-up jelly bean in case the main jelly bean gets eaten

Don't know if you've linked your pics differently, but clicking on them takes you to a page with just the pic on rather than the gallery.

I like the use of yellow on those little armour spots, unexpected source of colour.

I dunno? Think I did these as attachments straight from my files - it takes dakka a little while to assign them to my gallery I think.

The yellow is nice - but I feel they need more checkers and stuff. But I have other things I want to paint before I go back and make improvements - a whole bunch of traitor marines arrived today and there are inquisitors and gang members languishing in primer.

Anyone here ever tried archery? I'm really tempted to give it a go - bin watching to many robin hood movies I'm sure

i think for archery you need plenty of time... tried it once on a fair and i failed miserably...but with time and your own equip you can go a long way...and you probably should as well... archery should be trained in a real offside area...can be very dangerous for bystanders...(the unknown ones that try to walk where they deem fit...)

I tried it at a fair once and failed miserably too! Bloody carnies fixed the bow I bet - I declare shenanigans on fairground archery!!!

You have a point about the danger - its a very long range weapon and lethal.

Well, regarding medium to short range weaponry, I can't much speak as my weapon of choice is a scoped air rifle (though in my defense, I did kill a squirrel with just a few seconds' prep, the wind in my feet, a quick targetting, and a quicker squeeze of the trigger). But yes, anything that goes out from oneself certainly needs to have safety of others ensured (though ensuring your own safety is a good idea too).

Archery takes practice & good equipment. Very rewarding though.

i like the idea of a longbow, or even a short bow , deffinately medieval or dark age , i really dont like the look of them gun bow things with optical sights etc, you see at the olympics. my kids have a rather large selection of homemade boys crossbows and toy ones , we go to the park and let loose some from time to time much fun to be had!

I think they should ban modern bows and use the medieval bows.

i agree strictly oldschool twanging , would make it so much more fun , and maybe the odd apple on head for extra points.

aye to that miss dee^^

and i like to state here that i think it is cruel and totally unnecessary to shoot squirrels... this is no funpost here... it is clearly that doing so is a childish manner and i can only say i am sorry for thiose who think that hunting down small helpless animals is something remotely close to sports...

and we wanted to get a good old fashioned bow for a long time... to test it on a nonliving target...

If the Mongolians can fire the bows tey make from horse back it would be cool to see it in the olympics.

that would actually bring me to ever watch olympics in the first place...otherwise its pretty boring to me...

Tried a bit of bow'n'arrer action when I was a youth (not seriously, just here and there) and it was good fun. As gits said, it requires time and decent equipment, just like so many of the things we like to do

I have got flat-bow, which is very similar to a longbow but flatter in section. I would love to find some where I can get some lessons - or faling that just a safe place to practice with targets and stuff.

I found the bow at a car boot sale for a tenner, unfortunatly he had sold all the arrows already - it is almost as tall as myself and has a 26 lb draw, which feels quite easy. It is made in england - reassuring. I'm sure they make great bows in china but I feel better with a good firm piece of british wood in my hands... .... Firm and smooth and springy.. Lulz.

do you use an armprotector?
someone told me you could slice your arm if it is not protected with something leathery...the sinew of the bow is like a very thin knife and if it comes back after being released then it could cut very well inside the fesh of your arm...maybe this is some kind of advice only for the unschooled but i think better to sound like old mum as being on the sore side...(me, father of three sons...)

you could take down the local pub and ask someone for a game of arrows

Leather arm protector is necessary. I dont think the bow I have is powerful enough to cut skin but it sure does sting!!

Anyway, you're not allowed any more hobbies. What with all the ceramics and getting dirty in the allotment you're already neglecting your fans, can't have you spending more time away from the minis
