Phone was dead, otherwise I would have posted sooner... You just can't pass up a photo opportunity with the greatest actor ever.

Not real, but a true 1:1 scale wax replica of the man, could see every detail of the man.

Amazing likenesses!

That's a sharp suit you got Theo - who's the dude on the left supposed to be?

Some unemployed flop. Think he used to be something in retail, but not sure. I have more pictures from the wax museum including the back of Bruce's head in case anyone needs detail shots the wax figures at the museum were amazing. There a statue of some famous female photographer in one of the rooms we were walking through, my wife waited for two minutes to walk in front of her because she thought it was another tourist taking pictures , we didn't see the marvel 4D adventure in the same building, but it was a great exhibit none the less.

For now I leave you with an answer to why Einstein's hair was always messy. You see there was this really annoying bully that would taunt him every day. Later Einstein created nuclear power and the bully had to clean up after Einstein. Einstein May have had terrible hair, but at leasthis didn't fall out moral of the story if your going to be a bully, make sure the guy you pick on can't design weapons of mass destruction .

Wow its been a while since I dropped in here. Good gravy I had like 10 pages to catch up on

PAinting modeling - Dang yo. Looking great and finishing great. Youre a better painter than I remember! Score for you

Statues - Dude....Einstein was a tiny man! And dont mess with Bruce Willis.....even his wax figure could probably leave you black and blue

HAHA! Those are great Theo!!

What's poor ol' Albert done to you to deserve that...
Although it looks like he's used to it by now and it explains the look that Bruce is giving you.

LOL... einstein is sure a small guy... never knew he was that tiny... seems he was already a nerd back then before it was cool , eh?...einstein the hipster

nice to put a face to your character theo!...seems you two have a great time in NY! i envy you two and also i wish you all the best and even more!!! (crazy mixture, eh? )

just had a closer look....is einstein playing pocket billard???

Theo, caught in the act!

@vik, Einstein was indeed keeping himself busy. thankfully the mods have obliterated my pics, now no one will know who I am .
@shaso, that's in stein with his hand in his pants, I'm the goof messing up his hairdo.
@dr. H, you should have seen the picture of me with president George w. Bush. He had his had out looking for money so I got a snap of me handing him my credit card .
@dave, it was a great little side excursion. Lots of possibilities. One guy go a picture of his kid looking up Monroe's dress in a recreation of he famous scene .

So glad to be home. Kids are good, but the house is a disaster, just spent two hours cleaning. My other eBay order (for he custom decals) came, but the person shrunk it down to four per sheet so they were too small to use, sent the guy an email. You'd think that someone in he business of making decals would understand that SIZE MATTERS.

HAHA Theo, that would be funny. I can put them up on pbucket if you want. mods won't bother with pb pics.

@dave, I'll mess itch photobucket this week, never created an account.

My wife deleted a Whole bunch of scenery pics didn't know hey I needed pics of industrial parks, rusty metal bridge parts, and sidewalks.

Wife needed a nap and kids wanted tv over cuddles. They have priorities as they only get electronics on the weekends, and were back for good. That gave me time to paint, so...

I think I need to pick up codex dark angels, cause I'm enjoying painting terminators. He's only partway done and I need to do some conversions on him to finish him up. His hammernators also o another basecoat of yellow and then the first highlight of yriel yellow.

Latest update on terminator sergeant, counts as Lysander.

Is the head of harry the hammer still missing???

And good to have you safe and sound back home! There's no place like home, eh?

His head is there in the pics. It's just he has a cowl and a mask on, which covers most of his face, then brown hair. I or got to o his eyes, that has since been rectified.

A good nights sleep and hugs from the kids fix about everything, but you know that to vik.

Aye cuddling is essential in parenthood

Painted for an hour today, of course it wasn't to finish any o the WIP pieces, but a new captain/ sergeant.


Also got a box in the mail and ripped it open, started gluing together and having fun before realizing it wasn't my order WGF sent me someone else's arms for their leviathan, I thought he order was a bit on the light side. Just contacted them, my order is still enroute to me, hopefully I can just take my stuff from the new box and send that back, as I don't think they want it back assembled. Otherwise I hope they give me the kickstarter price for these.

Neat captain!

The robe is very burlapy

@comradepanda, he was originally my devastator company captain in my old chapter, now he's just a survivor.
@dave, his cloak I'll get more work in the near future.

In the mean time the leviathan got a hand and gun.

Here it is as the mortar.

And here with its slaaneshi cannon attachment.

Slaaneshi cannon attachment...lol...

The highlights got shown off very good on these pics of yon titan...
The new captain looks good, although for my taste the gizmo on his back is a bit too large...

And boy, you have nerves dust ripping and glueing packets of other peeps together/apart...I always double check mine...not that I open a package of my wife...she would get furious about it no doubt...and we even share the same bed...no doubt someone has views about that behavior of yours to others property...tststs...you're in trouble noo

Package was labeled an addressed to me, so no problems opening and building them. I went or the marathon approach. Open the box then grab one, build it, grab another and build it. It wasn't until I realized that there was only one layer of arms in the box that I had been shorted, then I dug the packing slip out and saw a different name attached . It's hard to remember what you order when the kickstarter is his late. The product is fantastic, and I will buy more when possible, but I'm glad I didn't order any wave three stuff. The kickstarter ended a year ago and these were about six months late.

modeling will be cut back a lot here shortly. Unfortunately I haven't been paying enough attention with school stuff, and have to get my in gear. I'll try and post from time to time, but this life thing has caught up to me again. Hopefully today's net review goes well. I really need to get something on that front happening. It's been unfair to my wife for her working so hard. I know she appreciates what I do around the house and with our kids, but I just feel like I'm a drain on the family if I'm not bringing home the bacon so to speak. I have no delusions, she's going to make more than me with her degrees, I just want to feel productive in a non miniature way.

You guys have been great, a blessing in a rough patch, and I plan on still being here. I just need to trim back all my fun time stuff to work on higher priority stuff.

John

Leviathan looking awesome and the captain / sergeant is probably your best figure yet

As to your reduction in hobby time, sad to hear but totally understand - RL has a habit of throwing the odd curve ball at us - Dakka will be all the more quieter though without your production line style updates

We'll all still be here though when you have time to check back in

Waiting to see the Hannomags on purchase at Miniature Market place

OOh, now they are nice... Not sure about the side mirrors, but apart from that truly exceptional models...

I like the Captain's yellow belt for some reason.
Nice work all over. Like the big gun on the laviathan.

Sometimes, just sometimes, there are higher priorities to modelling. Happens to everyone, but we (as the gestalt Dakka) will still be here.

@ruglud, thanks mate, I'll still be checking in like now while th kids are getting ready for school. Never thought about the mirrors you'd think with the tech to build leviathans they could have the back up video monitors.
@dr. H, the yellow belt really does make the model, he's ready for the fashion show runway now.
@shaso, I love the look of the hanomags, and they are roughly the size of land raiders so they can fit the troops.

Hey, all i can say is that the Kruegerian 144th likes to ride in style Theo!

Should be doing school work......but ups got here while I was at my interview.
Glue has been thrown and knife has been flicked.

The hel cannon and ripper saw, the last two arms that I didn't have done already.

Everything went smoothly with the build, directions were great, only stumbling part was no screws , as with the other 4arms, there were no screws in the box, don't think the claws are supposed to have them, but the gun arms show them for the joints. I made due with superglue though.

Eat your heart out GW, I have a ranged attack with my chain fist now


Interview was great, pretty sure I have the job if I wan it, only glitch is starting pay. Hey are looking into what they can do. The hospital is part of a chain here in MO, and has been selected no. 1 place to work in St. Louis for the last 4 years. The benefits are excellent with paid time off, medical and dental, and all the trimmings. Forgot to check about tuition reimbursement, but I'll save that till I get an offer. Also got other callbacks today, so things have finally turned around there.

Somehow both of the twins broke their glasses yesterday at school, so I'm off to get them repaired, then parent teacher night tonight for all three of them......fun.

Ha, that chainfist makes some of my conversions look sensible...
Liking the look of the hell cannon.

Good news about the interview.

Those other weapons look sweet! Can't wait till they are retail at MM
