So are you planning to have a gyro-stabilised mono wheel installed?

Seriously good luck with the surjury and all.

I'm willing to bet Cam' could do a better pinning job than a 'surgeon' could

edit: Cam' is .40% titanium!!

I find that diagram disturbing... yet fascinating!

I think you can combine several of the ideas of read here- remember: Cam's the guy that invented mixing iron powder into his resin casting so that the cast item is automatically magnet-able. Remember his Warhound? Same principle.

Get well soon Cam!

Wait, what? Wow! is there nothing he can't do?

Walk on ice, apparently.

Sorry to hear you're down for a while Cam. Hopefully the Painboy gives you some special squigs to chew on that make everything feel fun and happy while you're on the mend. In the US they only give us spent lasgun batteries, and that's only after an interrogation from a couple Inquisitors that hate you simply because you exist.

That's really terrible, I'm sorry you're going through this Cam. And thanks for the diagram, it looks like it's the ball end of the femur that fits into the hip that fractured?

Thank you all for your thoughts.

Here is something hobby related

so...watched it...first...you literally outdid yourself with this set...i think for such an effort you put in this is a masterpiece and is probably not able to be paid for...so the only conclusion is to give it for free...which you did...but boy... it would have felt to me like selling one of my own kids...and i don´t mind telling you that that guy made me flinch whenever he unwrapped a new piece...arghh... i still remember when i got some terrain stuff from klaus some time ago...i literally dissected the pieces...i felt as tense and controlled as a bomb disposing unit...

but anyway... this is now a terrain set that gets the honour to be played with...which is the only natural way of living for such artful stuff...which in the end makes everything worth it...! saying well done...just doesn´t cut the mustard...finally some well deserved fame mister!

congratz also to your packaging skills^^...the guy surly broke some sweat

on a side not... seeing you here... did the docs already carve you up...? best wishes mate!

Hey guys here is a direct link to the unboxing I filmed with the set Cam did for us. It completely blew us away. We cannot wait to use it for a battle report. We have 12 other full tables of terrain, ranging from professionally made to store bought kits to stuff we put a lot of time and effort into and this blows them all out of the water. Thank you so much once again Cam.

Yeah as you can clearly see it wouldn't take much to make me sweat haha, working on that. But yeah as mentioned it was extremely well packed, even after FedEx beat up the poor thing, only two bits let go in the whole set, which were easily fixable. As for my handling, I was excited and didn't want the video to take too long, wanted to make sure I could get all the awesome terrain in, but nothing broke in my hands so we can call it a win .

i hope i didn´t offend you...sorry if i did...

You didn't mate, no worries.

Personal note:
I fractured my femur as shown in previous, op was same day/ night, next couple days were getting pain meds right. And starting PT. Wednesday weight bearing Thursday Zimmer frame walk, Friday toiletry independence. I am still on morphine tablets at mo so going home soon I hope. It is very very painful . Very very difficult to do anything, but if I don,t have some styrene riveted by the end of the week you can drag me out and bury me.

Thanks to twinner for wonderful comments, and we know your nuts Vik.

Thank you all for the wonderful support.

phhhewww! getting on any table that doesn't involve riveting is always a big hustle...so good to hear you´re through the mean part... now the healing can progress...and yep...mad, nuts...call it whatever you like

Now Vik, no worries. Twinner, he's Canadian. Those folks have a pretty wicked sense of humor. Proof? They sent Jim Carrey to the USA. And Michael J Fox. And Lorne Michaels. And Neil Young and ... Haha. Jokes on US. Grrr. it would be nice if they actually sent us some people with, oh, what is it called, ah yes, talent.

Cam: do ask about anti-inflammatories. They will help with that pain, since some of it is bound to be from swelling. We've already lectured you about the PT. I know that things seem dark now, but there will be a happy ending to all of this. Really, there will be.

Time guide for the video:

So at 3:30 I'm shouting at the monitor, "Open the fethin' box already!"

At 4:30 I'm thinking that Cam has an interesting sense of humor too. Soooo much tape. And Newspapers. Too bad Twinner can't read them, since they are written in Scottish and not in Canadian, eh.
(It's funny, if you know how some of the Canadian accents came "aboot.")

At 5:00 we get the first look. Nice. And just gets nicer.

The rest is more excellent terrain. I must say that the game mat goes well with the terrain too. The windmill, so cool to see again.

The set will provide years of enjoyment.

Very nice Cam. Well done. These guys remind me of a couple of kids filming in their mom's basement. Just the type to really appreciate your generosity and skill.

Not sure if this is a compliment or not haha. You are correct we do live in a Basement but we have to pay for that privilege. But we definitely did appreciate Cam and his generosity.

It wasn't meant as an insult at all. There's a charm to it which I really enjoy. Keep up the great work!

Ouch I'm sorry to hear about your accident Cam. Pinning the joint like that seems so crude. Everyone knows magnets are the answer.

Watching the video made me think of a magician pulling things that shouldn't fit out of a hat; about half way though I thought there couldn't be more, but there was.

Also nice name on the windmill made me laugh, trumpton, I'd somehow missed that reading through your posts as you made it.

Get well soon.

The terrain looks fabulous!
Lucky Twinner!!


Get well soon Cam'!

They are the Basement Collective...
My hobby space is in the basement too. I don't pay for it since I already own it. Well, I pay property taxes, so yeah, I guess I pay for the privilege too... Their basement is nicer than mine. That's okay. Mine is quite peaceful, until the furnace kicks on. Then it's a bit noisy. It's been on very often recently. This darned polar weather... coming from, of all places...

Do enjoy the terrain, Twinner.

Ouch, man. At least you are getting some good stuff, and the OT/PT staff seem to have good goals for you.

On the plus side, it will keep you from going out and getting into trouble and tucked safely at home making gorgeous things for all of us to be jealous about. :-D

Rest up, heal up, and listen to those DOCS! Don't fall again just because you are being stubborn!

Oh Cam! So sorry bud!- and so sorry about all the pain you're having. Rest up, you'll be ready for riveting duty when your body says you can.

That's some amazing terrain... But yoyu already knew that Hope the therapy kicks in and speeds up the recovery nicely!

You are a legend sir. Also a leg end at this point.

Better a leg end than a bell end.

You British persons have very much strange slang.

Cam, you made a mill with a water wheel at some point, no?

*de-cloak* Get well, heal up Cam. You're going to be a cybork!

Let this be a lesson to you kids!....Proper pinning of a model joint is essential if you want it to survive the rigors of a fall from the table.

Of course, he's more machine now than man....

We will rebuild him. Faster. Stronger, We have the technology.....
