Fair enough
Anyway, it's good to be good at least at something, isn't it?

I think i am a day or two late on my update, and my update is to say I have done NUSSINK! I have not been near my painting station in a week so I'm a bit behind...

Glad to see this blog is becoming delightfully chatty! I have no further progress yet, as I have been busy getting stuff ready for eBay selling. I'm also looking at getting an Inquisitor rulebook before the week is out, so hopefully that will provide some good inspiration.

Cheers!

UG

good luck with the selling mate!

You are leaving hobby?????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

think about it more like outsourcing.... muahhahahwwwww

Well, not exactly. poor word choice on my part.

Over the past few months, I've become more and more fed up with Games Workshop, Warhammer 40k, and certain parts of the 40k community. I want to play 40k, but the money investment is just too much for me. Games Workshop certainly isn't helping this, though I do dearly love their models and their foundation paints and their washes are a permanent part of my paint set. The 40k community is drifting so far into the "competitiveness" of the game that it makes the game less fun to play. There is so much GW hate that I really don't like even going close to certain threads. And I've also found Deathwatch and Inquisitor, both of which I have fallen in love with. Freedom in modelling and painting without worrying about lists is the greatest thing for me as a painter and modeller.

So, in summary, I'm selling off much of my excess collection to make room for 1 small 40k army (Imperial Guard) and a host of INQ/DW models. All the money from the sales is what I'm going to use as my hobby budget for the time being, and rest assured, it is all going to bits!

I experemented with a jump segway by strapping a SM jump pack on the Segway. It didn't work for me so I decided to make the Segway more simplistic.
Iv'e finished Segway Rough Rider's base. I'm aiming for a melting/late season snow look.
I've made segway tracks so you can see where the segway is going to be placed.

I haven't forgot about my other submission, I'm still working on that!







Hope you like!

the tracks look convincingly smudged^^ maybe a hint of brown but that depends on the ground you have thougt up...

^I'll give it a wash of Devlan mud and see how it looks.

Isn't that the general solution for any painting or modelling conundrums?

You read my mind.

By the way, awesome bio-suit UG.
I've been a bit lazy modelling-wise recently, but remembered I'm taking part in a competition . Anyway, I'll have pics soon.
I'm hoping that I can still participate with this update more than a week from my last?

Hi guys, a late update but:
- I've undercoated my model
- Finished his base
- I've base coated his skin (a tasteful bright orange )
Any way should have some proper updates with pics later this week.

If you see anything you like, by all means bid! And if you win, send me a message so I can give a fellow Dakka member a little something extra in the package!
