Dave are you still doing the model builds and write ups?

Yep! Except I discovered with the latest kit, the 1/72 Railway station that the instructions were printed wrong, so MRC/MiniArt is printing new instructions and shipping them out. I saved it before being mass-marketed too heavily

Don't forget to add that to the resume. Expert instruction reader/fixer. It should go under the skills heading, under riveting and slightly above chasing Wild tangents in threads

i think she draged you along for pure eductaional reasons... your underhive sets will gain just with that the extra quality only reality can teach you...again this goes to show...she is indeed a keeper^^

Haha yep..If I ever get back to the underhive that is..

Here's some BIG LEGO LOTR news

Haha that's great, very cool setup. The Ent looks as good as can be for a giant Mobil tree made of Legos. So HS soon till you get one and have a duo between it and he Death Star?

What a scam it does not include the Uruk hai army actually it looks pretty cool but no way am I starting to collect lego as well

OOH! I like!

LDD, would you do it for...Lone Ranger??


I'm quite excited for a return to the Wild West LEGO myself.
Army-Building time!

In a bout of Nostalgia, I went back in to my Fallout3 and am almost done pwning the Pitt

Dont get me wrong I would love to own this lot, but the misses would kill me literally kill me

Way to go Shas! It never really gets old does it?

@LDD, you gonna let the fear of spouseicide scare you?

Passing on the Lone Ranger Legos, even though I loved the show as a child, I can't get over the looks of Tonto. No wonder he calls the Lone Ranger kemosabe if he's forced to dress like this!

Hey Dave can I get a little bump. Added some stuff, and will hit another update shortly.

Aww come on man! It's Johnny Depp!
And Union troops! We haven't had Wild West LEGO for years!

I feel like painting today,

Looking for work and attempting armor modeling is depressing me
My sincerest apologies Vik..I respect your talent for it, but I just don't have it. It doesn't hold my interest, it only frustrates me.

Very nice vulture you have going there Dave. I envy the imperial guard and all their wonderful toys, especially those punisher guns under the wings. Almost enough to make a convert out of me....but not quite. My marines will have to be completed before I do any other GW army. Now I might pick up some GW vehicles to build a guard army using my dreamforge Eisenkern troops, but I will at least wait till all the dreamforge stuff comes out first.

It is Johnny depp, I will give that credit, but he just is making Tonto look like a tool. I'm not Native American at all, so I can't say I'm offended, but it just looks like a slap in the face to me.

I'd love if they do enough figs to make an F-Troop set. I want to blow up my own watchtowers

I MUST have that 4-6-0 Train..MUST..I already have a spare R/C remote and all the power functions bits to make it go.

We don't make mistakes..we have Happy Accidents

Power n function Lego are my favorites. I got the caterpillar dozer a few years back as well as some of the other powered kits. My son go the RC train set for Christmas as well as the police and fire stations.

What exactly is a 4-6-0 train Dave? It's probably something real basic and I'm overlooking it.

It's how the Steam Engines were classified, counting the wheels: 4 front steering, 6 drivers, 0 rear steering There were many variations before Diesel took over

Kind of what I figured from the picture, just couldn't figure out the 0, because there weren't any .

<nerd> Actually, Dave, the classification of Diesel wheel arrangements is as complex, in the United States. Only if you expand Steam to include worldwide and prototype arrangements do you get, roughly, double. </nerd>

Would you like to know more?

Whyte notation (Steam, worldwide): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whyte_notation

AAR notation (Diesel, US): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AAR_wheel_arrangement

And, outside the US, UIC notation (Steam and Diesel): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UIC_classification_of_locomotive_axle_arrangements

Enjoy!

Totally threadjacked. Bwah. Hah.. Hah.

Brian...I LOVE it!

Eyyyyyy.... I saw that Bob Ross reference We get his old programme over here in the UK, my family and I watch it weekly

Thanks Dr. H!
Lord, I absolutely LOVE Bob..miss him terribly!


This is my favorite tribute to him.
The world needs Bob more now than ever.

I remember watching him on the local PBS channel as a child. He was truly talented, I never was able to duplicate what he was teaching.

whoa.... good news on the lego front it seems... reminds me strongly of the deathstar build... and the lone ranger sets... that train does look awesome...!
