My facepalm was actually directed at weety's innuendo, but it works for your post too dstein

if it wasn´t so sad it would be funny with that monopoly money... also you do realize that many politicians or would be politicians would like to see an american monopol in the world...quite the nice play on words here...

Well, Weety's avatar of a chubby little bald man wasn't giving me wood

Hmm, that's actually a female chav I think you'll find

But the sentiment still stands I suppose


Won't say anything about that being the only thing. Nope, not a word.

well he didn´t say woody... mwahahaha

That vid is FANTASTIC Viktor! LOL!

Made my day!

Chinese wood not as hard as other wood? Oh dear the chinese will be pissed at you...

My avatar is in fact a chav of the female variety. A frequently unsightly group who like to drag their hair back into a tight ponytail know as a "Croydon facelift" which acounts for the slightly bald look. Also known for wearing tracksuits and gold hoop earings in combination. Maybe I should get a more sympathetic avatar hmmm?

er.... weety... never really did think about your avatar in that way... but now after your description...er...omg...^^

at git... just stumbled upon that version ... it was originally sung by the lot also... and it made me laugh quite loud too...if you are a bit into german you should look into the deadliest joke sketch of theirs... the german lines are hilarious to say the least...

Ha, glad your Avatar is too small to fully make out then.

Shakes her hair out of a pony tail ...............

I was really just trying to make a bad joke, really. I am full of bad jokes, occasionally one is good, but mostly they are bad

I think you should use one of your fantastic RT era minis as your avatar... you've pretty much defined the beauty of these old figs on dakka... that or one of your mugs.

lol...mugs...lol...see...er...ok..*trods off*

Yes - its time for an avatar change probably. I will have a scan through my pics for a goodun. Also as its a weekend I might bless a mini with a visit from my paintbrush, who knows...

Anyone got any good presents lined up for crimbo? I have a sneaking suspicion that I might have a warhammer based pressie under my imaginary tree. I've been told that I will never guess and that I didn't even know it existed but the box rattles like warhammer should.

A redhead! Gasp! My only weakness!

It's nice to have a change. And red is festive. Clearly.

Yup.

We finally get the real deal , with weety's Avatar , it must be christmas !

Apparently I have of bretonians and flagellants, under my tree , so I am pretty stoked too! come on xmas already .

lol... seems the big avatar change is underway^^

like yours too neil... also took the hint and looked into your blog... shame i can´t comment there...lots of cool things you brought together there...

Aye ! yours is pretty Christmasy too new year new plans and all that jazz, change is as good as a rest , so they say. And no worries mate i dont plan on abandoning my spiritual home anytime soon. 40k just couldn't contain all my creativity anymore M..u..st...expa..an..d my...mi...n..d .. an..d ex..per..ien..ce new ..gak

well mate i am all for widening ones horizons...but think you are in danger to see your own back of yer head^^ which is quite cool for us chaps that develop the bald spot every now and then^^

Oh boy weety, you've done it now. Nearly every gamer I've ever known has been a total duck for red heads...

I don't know too many guys who don't appreciate redheads. Myself included. And I must say, I really dislike drilling the barrels of lasrifles with a pin vise. I'm getting hand-cramps!

Thanks for the compliments guys, I am blushing a little. Concentrate on the painting!

I'm doing the scrunt walker this weekend, for those who don't remember it is a recent sculpt by Bob Ollie, who is a veteran sculptor responsible for a good portion of rogue trader minis. He isn't employed by GW anymore and he makes these Scrunts (squats without copyright issues) in his shed. You can buy them at www.olleysarmies.co.uk

These are the progress pics, I'm adding glowing blue engine parts and painting the guns red, headlights yellow

Nice pair of legs ..damb we cant see the legs

No really great model .. and the walker looking pretty fine too okay i will stop now..

Its looking pretty aggressive, and i really like where the basing is heading , great to see these Bob Olly sculpts again weets

The AC looks cool

Walker's looking pretty cool, do have to get me one of those. Is that a mould line on the pilot though?

Damned mould lines!!! They are all over this one, and I was sure I saw to them already. Oh well. At least I dont have an entire armies worth of lasguns to drill out with a pin vice like Vahalla... The things we do for art.

Gitsplita - love the expression "total duck". I'm imagining Quacking, brightly coloured feathers and possibly fights for dominance and complicated mating rituals.

The Xmass Avatars are all looking fabtastic and funky

Glad you like my pic neil - I enjoyed the one of you in a darth vader costume

I better get down to some painting before I get too drunk to hold the brush

Homemade blackberry wine o'clock already?
