also... i see you have been collecting dust some more^^

and those hgostbuster action figures... wow...and yeppers... wanna see you make that salad bowl for vinze

oh... and it looks your catachan gunner is painted by washes only? nice idea... weety always had great success with that methode!

by the way...when i told my kids about your new avatar they really enjoyed the news!!!

Page 100... Again , I'll keep an eye out here for more ghost busters just in case. Oh and your avatar has made an appearance in my thread

didn´t realize this thread again has went that far....wow...congratz...or my deepest condolences

Yep! I'm off to do some work stuff now :-( but Dave YES I must be hooked up with molds! who's leg do I need to hump?

That'd be Galorn's leg Nerdfest... I'd go for his left leg first... that'd be most right...

Pm Galorn- he'll require no humping, just a small PayPal transfer..>It's not even real money, just computer numbers

Thanks Vik!- Nope, I'm just getting really good at left-handed photography!

I went back to the same Big Lots today, some scalper had cleaned the entire stock! -I hate toy scalpers!

LOL... left handed photography

Indeed

Drug Dealers that accept PayPal are a modern convenience!

but do they provide the fix via cable too?...

No..Galorn has to use the US Postal Service to deliver the plastic crack fix

hmmm.... then the addicted have to be very patinent if they need an urgent fix... or be very well organized

Wow..Page 100 already...we sure post a lot of Gak don't we? LOL

At least somebody does. I've had my thread for months and I've only posted actual hobby progress twice.

One mans gak is another mans mana from heaven.
Just back from the big lots closest to me, no ghost buster, I'll check other ones this week.

Reading the forums at Gbfans.com..It doesn't seem that any sightings of Peter/Winston have been confirmed anywhere really yet...

Sorry Vik..missed replying here:

Not really, I just used the Schmincke Flesh tint right out of the bottle with a brush. It's nice and thin. I've had my best skin results to date with thinner paint. Thought I'd try it again.

Haha glad the boys approve!

Naah, i'm pretty sure it's 100 pages of pure awesome updates and minimum gak going on here

so, do we have to prepare to abandon another epic thread now?

nope, 350 to go before worrying about that again

well, that'll take about a week or so then?

Love a tutorial! Thanks Dave.

Haha glad the boys approve!

oh yeah... there are atm totaly hyped on these lil fethers... my wife found two minions... one purple and one dave and they play with these the whole day atm... talking in their heathen lingo all day... the voice capabilities of my kids is very impressive...

and the schminke paints... thanks for the info!

hear, hear, hear!!!

I have the hardest time with skin. When I do it, I try to follow advice from various people whose technique I admire online, but it almost never works for me. It either does barely work, or looks horrible.

It's why I build marines, and all my guys believe in wearing helmets, one of the chapter masters was met by a sniper....and lost, now it's mandatory to wear helmets always.

I plan on doing as little skin as possible.

Except my tyranids, and with them it doesn't matter.

My IG on the other hand...

Well, you could go with these...

This is the stupidest looking thing yet. Not only is it more fething marines, but they look stupid. GW really jumped the shark this time. I suppose they are unstoppably Overpowered too.

They look MUCH better as Meganobz

I've been watching hat blo all day, good times , they look terrible, but the Ork conversions are halfway decent. I really believe that gw is making models to be chopped up by the buyers to be converted. Because I haven't seen many new kits worth a from them lately that are stand alone.

Also found a local plastic supplier hat sells individual sheets of .040" styrene. The only drawback is they're 4' x 8' sheets, but at $30.00 for 32 sq. ft, and not having to pay for shipping they also have .080" and other sizes. The guy on the phone told me to ask when I show up if they have busted pieces for a discount. If I get 12 sheets its less than $20.00 a sheet.

Can they cut it down into smaller sheets for you? 1x1' would be ideal...I think the Meganobz are just photoshopped.

I don't EVEN want to play 40k anymore.....not in the least..especially when every little 12 year old will be fielding armies of these, unpainted, and even a bad roll would probably wipe out ANY Guard opposition.

The meganobz are definitely shopped, the listed in the thread where it was done and who did it. Also to sho gw control over thei product line, someone actually has the vanguard veterans. They bought them off the shelf when I was accidentally sent more than a month early to the store.

They "can cut them down at a $1.00 a straight cut, but I'm willing to cut the sheet myself at home with a t-square to save $$$.

you'd need a plywood backing board methinks? and how would you get 4x8 sheets of wobbly plastic home?

Minivans are useful for hauling more Than kids , or my SUV and roll the plastic. I might just rough cut the sheet in the parking lot as well with a utility knife. My necromunda table has a 4'x6' flat area that I can lay a full sheet on and then clamp and cut. I might have them cut the sheets into 2'x8' to make hauling easier though.
