Vik doesn't mess up, he was just checking to see if you actually read the posts or just get lost in the wonderful eye candy on this thread...

See?! Cam knows his Chums!

I never doubt vik, especially when he's talking spandex .

@cam, thanks, never seen yellow and black candy before though.

Nothing new o show, getting ready for work. Turns out my kids DID have school today , my wife put it on our wall schedule as them being off. Needless to say they were about two hours late for school today , oh well, at least they got to play a little this morning. We're expecting snow tonight , my first night at work an there would be a snowfall. I didn't even learn the code at work for blizzard, but we did learn the one for tornado .

Bad idea just hit me, with skalks competition I'll need to keep my eyes open for scavenging goodies. I guess medical waste would be inappropriate material for a gaming table right???

medical waste?... are we talking bodily fluids and human tissue here or just spent bandages and needles and syringes???... i hope the latter and not the fromer... or we could be in for a treat on the old corpse cart scheme in 1:1....

@Theophony - Can i ask where you got or what you made the missile launcher from on the back of the forth land speeder in your last photo (nearest the right), I dont recognise the part/s and they look interesting?

regarding the medicinal waste thing....ive already done something like this. Ive used spent vaccine bottles liberated from my Wife's veterinary practice in several of my terrain pieces to date, they are a decent scale for 28mm, and not too overly gross/dangerous!

nice!... very convincing rusty enviroment you´ve created!

It's snowing here!

@scrunty, those are very cool, and reminds me of something to use in my terrain piece the missile pod are from a DUST tactics walker I picked three of them up from miniature market.com on their clearance deal of the day a few months back.
@dave, still just rain here.

Back from first night of work. Four hours of videos on the computer , luckily another new hire and I had to share the computer and answers .

They had lots of call ins tonight (snow scare ), so the guy who was supposed to watch us kept getting called out every five minutes . We learned very little. They want to certify me to clean the MRI machine , so when I want to get fired all I have to do is forget that pocket full of change I have, walk into the room, and watch the coins rip my pants off as they fly across the room. Contrary to popular beliefs I have no steel plates or screws in my head even though I've busted my head open three times.......explains a lot don't it .

May not be steel but Adamantium!! Your more Ork than you think. You painted your whole SM chapter in Badmoon colours!!!

And I have thought of using bone in scenery before now?

I don't think they'll let me bring any bones home, wonder what sort of look I'd get for asking

Well Skalk has me itching on terrain. I can't wait for the competition, so here's what I built today.


This is not my entry just a warning to bring your "A game"

I feel there's the necessity for some kind of wrestling reference - just bring it!

It could be an old hell in the cell reference, or whatever the big boss man's matches were. if you zoom in I built scale handcuffs that are hanging on the fence on the lower left. I was inspired by the walking dead with the fence line, just needs some wire to close off the gap. That and the zombie hanging out to warn people away. like the camper that hung himself in the woods

Funny you should mention the walking dead...I am watching the show just now...Laurie had that car crash... And the first impression I had while looking at that fence was indeed...walking dead...very brutal with that hanging corpse and the cuffs look very good too...what are they made off? Wire? I like that setting very much...and now I need to change my plans...originally I had thought about making a wooden board fence...but I now am thinking about something more gaslight related...bricks and mebby a lanterne...

The handcuffs are bits out of the bag of watch parts I bought a few months back. not sure of their technical name, but they looked like cuffs, and I used three links of jewelers chain in between them. I really am enjoying the walking dead series. I am totally caught up now , and I think I only have one more episode of breaking bad to watch. I've given "Arrow" a go, and so far it has entertained me. My T.V. show watching will be slowing down as I'm back to work and they are giving me 40 hours a week. jobs taking away my excessive hobby time .

On a much better note I had to deal with some school stuff which got me to call the IRS for paperwork, which after 40 minutes got the release of the rest of our tax returns from last year. Seems like the person who was supposed to handle our case was let go this summer and all the cases were sitting in his files with no one working on them . The guy who answered the phone for me did a great job, put me on hold 4-5 times, but was apologetic every time he did it, but he resolved the issue and we will see the money in 3-4 weeks well that's $2300.00+ I didn't have yesterday , Christmas is back on.

Wooooo....that's some spectacular news! But 40 hours workload each week...I hope your family can cope with that. I know when my current school time is over and I can work as a nursery nurse its only part time for me and my missus...I think an equation explains it quite good...time equals money...and you either have plenty of the former or the latter...both would be fantasy material...

Well walking dead is an amazing show...seldom have I seen so much action and so much sadness on one go...I think iI know which part of zhe innards of A clock you used...good idea!

The schedule sucks, I'm working all evenings, but it works for the family right now. I'm still looking for something else, as the benefits they described aren't nearly as good as what was shown in the orientation class.
I would talk more about the walking dead, but your a couple seasons back, and I don't want to spoil anything this good. I think a trip to the hobby store is overdue and I'll pick up some more material and continue this fence theme for my board.

Good Job Skalk, you've gone and derailed me again . Honestly I didn't know what to paint next with the Scythes anyway, so Skalk just becomes a conveinient scapegoat.

Well...skalks comp sure was a blessing for me too...the walker project of mine isn't developing as intended...so that scatter terrain will be a nice fresh breath...by the way...I've recently made a mechanical horse...pics will follow eventualy

And that's rather unnerving about your worksituation...with your young kids I hope all will eventually play out to the best...

Yay for money.

Nice little fence you have there.

Strange I thought the same thing looking at the fence section you just need a heard leaning up against it now, there is one thing you can say about the job Theo more money for more toys

Nice idea with the handcuffs one of Ricks madder moments, nice haul on the IRS return good when you get well your money back.

How can they offer you benefits in your orientation and then not give them, surly that must be some kind of misrepresentation.

Whats Arrow by the way ? Never heard of that one.

Theo what did you get in wave 2 Dreamforge if you don't mind me asking ? just got mine today plus a bill for import tax £65.43

Our present American economy seems to be making for employers saying one thing to get folks in the door and on the floor, and then the sad truth hits that they violated their own ethics policies and Lied.

That sucks there should be a law against that and if there was one you guys would have it our employes don't even lie they just say if you don't like it we will get someone else

Sorry had to post this :

LOL

@LDD, During my interview they talked about medical, dental, 401b, paid time off, vacation and tuition reimbursement. We have access to all of those, but not until AFTER 1000 hours of working, and being permanent part time. At part time that's a year away, not right away which is how they explained it .

"arrow" is the t.v. Show name based on the Green Arrow character from D.C. Comics. I was never a big d.c. Comic fan as I was more about mutants (x-men), so it's nice to see the character more developed than what I saw from the justice league unlimited cartoon.

My wave two stuff was just more arms for the leviathan. I got one of each claw, a HEL cannon, A laser cannon, and (2) Beowulf/Grendel arms. I only assembled one of the last gun as the barrel changes out on it easy enough. I had someone piggieback their order onto mine to save on the gun costs, and have shipped him his goodies. I'd like a Mortis, but I'm really fine without one. The dreamforge stuff is amazing, but I'm just done with the delays. WGF has really just upset me with the Tim its taken them to get these out there. They are a year behind right now and no word on wave three, and when he said wave two was a month out it turned into an additional six . The gun arms were up posed to come with both right and left armors, but only came with rights, so now they are in a cost ineffective area to ship armor prunes to everyone . There's been no talk of the rules at all either. Don get me wrong, the models are amazing, I'm just frustrated that the project seems to be so poorly organized.

@shaso, the funny hing about the ethics was they lied to everyone scheduled or Saturdays orientation telling us the building where it was going to be held was being fumigated and we were not allowed in because of toxic gases. Turns out he just had o few people for the Saturday orientation they wanted cancel and move them to the Monday orientation to save money. But it was all about ethics .

@vik, horsey , can't wait to see it. Work will be fine, my wife is more excited about I than me, but we'll see.

@Dr. H, thanks, now I need a compound.

LDD! please DO NOT spoil Walking Dead for Vik!
I would be totally pissed if someone spoiled that show for me! It's just too good.

Glad to hear some good news Theo!
You'll soon learn that hospital "ethics" are something completely different than normal "ethics"

Thanks Dave, but I spoiled it already for me... On two, three days they aired the first two seasons...I am still not really through these yet, but watched the very last one live of the third season as I was too eager...so I know in essence who all bites the dust sooner than later... Beside, since I have my smartphone I research stuff while watching to ease a bit of the thrill for me when a scene gets too intense...I must say that this series is really getting to me on an emotional level like no other one before...

At Theo...be wary of that company...or for that matter the lot of them...if they had been nice peeps from the start they wouldn't have gone corporate in the first place

I had a feeling it might have concerned the Green Arrow might have a peek at it then, so it was more of a case of misleading rather than an all out lie more this is what you will get "cough" but slightly longer than we are making out.

So are the missing left arm armour pieces on both scale weapon load outs ? I thought it was just the 15 mm versions

Yes, it is dragging on a bit now but that is down to WGF rather than Mark, I personally think they have over stretched there capabilities and took on to many projects myself.

I have no idea when wave 3 will hit but I have a pile of crap to build so no real worries there, plus I have my 3 Mortis to build ( which was the main reason for pledging ) I just want to convert the hell out of 1 of them.

@ Dave where was the spoiler issue mate Rick handcuffed Merle in the first series

@LDD, I think it was the picture of i see dead people . I don't blame mark, except for not being more accurate with his info. Multiple times he has stated that something would happen in a week, or a month only to be months off from it. WGF has taken on a LOT, including moving their factory and warehouse. They also have shipping issues as both waves I have gotten the wrong order, and wave one they miss shipped me the wrong thing twice before getting it right. I think they are trying to do too much. They shouldn't be a distributor, they should be a producer like Walt, and leave distribution to Gus
@Vik, its a faith based not for profit company that was started by German sisters (nuns not relatives). So of course I'm wary
@Dave, don't you wish you owned a mouthwash or deodorant company in the walking dead universe? You really could clean up

I'm just waiting to see someone who has lived as long as the other group come by with a car load of gold and jewelry that he's taken off the dead, so out of touch that he's going to set himself up as king after everything is done and the plague is over.

I think my necromunda terrain will be taking on a more the walking dead look now. I can have the gangers be in a lower part of the hive fighting off the plague zombies and mutants (crazed survivors).

Spent the last hour watching final breaking bad episode and gluing my fingers together , good thing that's a delayed face palm otherwise my hand would be stuck to my face . Well the result of it would be more terrain. Now I hane to place another bits order to get the resin overcast pieces I'm using for the bases

No issue LDD, just didn't know if you knew how far Vik was behind, it was more of a quick elbow nudge. Now if Vik could kindly get caught up so we can all talk..that'd be grrreat mm'kay

Fencing is beautiful Theo!

Thanks dave, I think the newest one needs some concertina wire on the top, it's a little low on the left.

Loving the barricades/fences....looks like I'm gonna have to pull something a bit special out of the bag to get anywhere near the other entries to the junk pile contest!
