Careful Vik
There are itinerants and street traders that would be cool, but just be careful of Shrike
If he tries to get you to have a hot dog stall just say no

Any news, vik?
I'm on a half-term break so I can constantly pester you all day long!*
*with regular intervals of Xbox, PC games and food, of course.

nothing new... just did some ebay to get me more kits and stuff...speaking of kits...my kid felix is with me, he is a bit ill, so i hope i will be getting to do some hobbywork in the evening...
Viktor von Domm wrote:lol...why do you have so many breaks^^
to make up for the fact that WE DON'T GET PAYED. £5 a week isn't enough to effectively support a hobby like this, which is why us kids either have paper rounds to make a little extra, or get into cheap, unimaginative hobbies, like blowing £200 quid on a games console, and then playing that for 3 years.
You can donate just £5 a month to help save children's hobbies. You'll recieve a free donator's pack with a poster and regular updates of how your child's doing. And together, we CAN make a difference. ^^

felix is still ill, but he is now in is nap sleep for midday...(speach impediment...^^)
begging kids in front of a GW... now that would be a sight for sore eyes...would be nice to see what happens and how the redshirts would react...
but i still completed the fourth base deko of the sandbag barrier...and did a small tryout of a bit of sculpting with FIMO...tried myself out to make a dead tree...we will see what came out of the oven later...
tell felix that there's a strange teenager in england that hopes he gets well soon!

well its only smell...and this means i am still alive...rotting flesh doesnt smell after berries^^ i suppose^^
so then to show some lifesigns in tabletop means i will present my first four sandbagbarriers as advertised...they are now fully cured and the former squishy FIMO is now as hard and durable as plastic...
also i had a little go ad modeling a dead tree... maybe i use him for base decorating or i will make a terrain piece from it...we´ll see...
so here are now the pics...:
as you can see i have not acomplished a uniform look of sandbags here...goes to show i have much to learn in the art of sculpting...
tell me what you think about the tree...should i stick to simpler forms for now or am i on the right way here (though at the beginning)
Add some lichen to the tree, then it'd look better. I know you're going for the "dead tree" look, but there's colours of lichen that pass as dead/scorched foliage.

how should i do that? on 28mm scale what wopuld lichen look like? never done that... and besides i dream the dream of a muddy table...lichen would be a bit off topic then?
by the way my wife said to me the tree looked a bit like a kid had its way with putty...*sobs*
make some grooves into it...
brown lichen would work, I use lichen all the time, it's great- when you have some left over, just dump it on the table- instant bush!
just rip it apart and glue on!
this might help:
