cockney- heavy london accent, e.g: in oliver twist...
Send em up the funnels when they needs a sweepin guvna! Lawks a lummee and no mistakes gawd bless em
send them up the chimneys when they need sweeping boss! looks a _______ and no mistakes, god bless them

well i guess the underlined part here is of importance^^

my ol gramps always used to say : use the right tool for the right job...er ...

lol

Lawks is cockney for an expression of surprise
so it would translate into the Queen's English as golly,gosh or similar.

Lummee/Lummy apparently means Lord love me
(Blimey means may God blind me)

blimey i knew... lumme seems to be needed now for my active vocabulary^^

feel free to add more needed voacabs here^^

one might never know when they come in handy^^

impecable is a fave of mine...when my brother says something stupid I say- "your logic is impecable".

Hey Vik , hows the Army comming ,have you painted those vets yet...? ( looks at watch)

so what's happened since the last update?

seriously nothing... i had to clean up my work mess^^ to allow the celebration of my five year old son^^ yeah...he is that old now... nearly a man^^
he was very good, even tho three of his guest canceled their invitation (all boys) due to illnesses...so we partied with four girls and my sons^^ and he was a good host^^
so after that, meaning today we had a slow go and i will probably be not able to do something hobbyrelated up until monday i guess...
don´t give me your long faces here^^

vets will have to wait up until i get some more unused bodies and i need a good source to get my hands on some characterfull possible vets looking heads...suggestions welcome...

maybe i am as good as it gets and the family gets to play a bit with putty and me doing the fourth HWT base with sandbags...

no long faces? Aw, I wanted to do a long face... : - (

characterful heads? How about casting praetorian heads? Or the einstein heads?
or this guy's head-

hmmm i am more in for scruffy looks with the vets.... something between pirate and gutter would suit me well...battlehardened and a bit of lost faith and to much seen bloodshed...

A-team veteran, mercenary veteran or survived-a-campaign veteran?

A-team veteran, mercenary veteran

these sound the most appealing to me... specially the first^^

sarge with cigar..."I love it when a plan comes together" kinda thing?
big muscly heavy weapons carrier with mohawk? maybe even an ogryn?
crazy valkyrie pilot?
can't think of one for faceman...There aren't many guardsmen tht enjoy the finer things in life, are good at maths and are womanisers...

yep sound cool, but if i use an ogryn for BA baracus it is a slight hint away from racism then^^ and we cant have that...

well, he's abnormally strong and tough and is...uhm...not the brightest...
In the film, hannibal shoots him in the shoulder to get him to get out of his van. He shouts "Oi!" "I'm sorry, I know first aid, it'll be alright." "You put a hole in my van!"
or something like that.

yep saw that movie, i always thought he was a bit underused in the series...far from dumb in my opinion tho...and he had some episodes all on his own, even with the occaisional loveinteresst...the film left much to be desired...

true...
he came across as dumb in the film...like he got "mad" when they tricked him into flying in a cargo container strapped to a plane...they were arguing who was gonna let hin out, and murdock did and calmed him down with some pie or something like that...

Yeah but what was in the pie?
Could have been laced with sedatives...
So why did they not just give hime the sleepy pie before the flight!
Morons!

later on they did before loading him onto a plane...they were getting shot at so they got into a tank...then baracus woke up like "this plane's a lot smaller...why's it got a turret on?" "we're not in a plane"..."We're in a TANK?! I'm gonna ki-"*more sedatives*
or something like that...

Since my last post I just had to make some sleepy pi...........

in the tv series it was a well cared for running gag to get BA in a plane... tehre was even one episode i rember they had sleepy pills in a burger and he ate it them with hannibal... doublechecking the burgers with him and changing them a multitude...and giess what, he still got his sleepyburger^^ hannibal knows his mates and knew how often he wold change them... all knowing eye of hannibal...^^

B-"OMNOMNOM see? I chose the one without the sle-"*SNORE*
H-"Ilove it when a plan comes together"
M- "It doesn't work if you say it every minute."
H-"have a burger."
M-"Thanks! OMNOMNOM"
*SNORE*
H-"I love it when a plan comes together."
