take yer word for it!

I see the White Dwarf subscription in a box with the 2012 Pirate White Dwarf mini peeking out at me from my stocking! Woot!

cool... but am i right you are still on the 23rd of december? ye ole peeping tom^^

It isn't wrapped! If you walked into the room and saw a White Dwarf logo, you'd look too!

i think that is a safe bet^^

although my wife probably never will buy me something for the hobby...

but then... there are other needs^^

A Merry Christmas to All and to All a good.....several days of assembling miniatures! Ho! Ho! Ho!

Merry Christmas Vik!

Nice start on the duel diorama, I'm looking forward to see what you come up with!

Merry Yule-time! Hope motivation springs anew in the new year

thanks weety, jeroen and flying poo...

and yep...tomorrow i have the house for me alone...i think this will be the time i will get some good assembling done... maybe even i get a good deal of work done on the base... i have an idea... want to use a big cork disc...we usually use as a heatprotector for our table cloth...when we have the pans and pots on the table... you probably know those big cork disc from ikea... i´ll show you later on what i have in mind...

by the way... i got from santa the graphic tablet i was always waiting for^^ yippey^^ so i hope i can teach myself how to draw now^^

merry christmas for all my friends out there who haven´t had theirs already!

vik

My Christmas is already over.
It's 1am Boxing Day here. I need to get to sleep! I'm not tired though because my body is in holiday sleeping mode!
AND I HAD HEAPS OF CANDY FOR CHRISTMAS!

Calming down now...

Your using cork? Cork makes awesome slate, rubble and debris!

Is this going to be an Urban base?

Have I great Christmas!

I'm going to try and get some sleep!

sugar and coffey are the main ingredients for staying awake...^^

i thought of maybe making a a bit of a trench terrain for this dio...the cork plate will be merely for the support of the dio... tho i give you that that the cork does very good slate and rocks! depends all on the paintjob!

i hope you have some good and refreshing sleep...later on you can invest that energy gain through sleep into some nice orky scratchbuilts? now that is a good thought^^

by the way... i recommend flying poos scratchbuilt thread... he built a dreadnought and a orky segway from scratch... something everyone should check out!

Nice army Vik.
I will take the time to read this entire blog but for now i just skimmed a few pages but your stuff looks ace. just a question is there a full army pic on one of the page's?

nope... as there is no such thing as a complete army... most projects/platoons are stuck in various WIP stages... i am guilty as charged for loosing in a continious way my attention and moving on to other things from time to time...it is really most stressing^^

i do have full platoons that are ready and i will try to make some pics... but honestly a look in to the gallery would be more helpful for your own interest^^

will do vik

aye

Ooooh look Vik! Another Dutchie!

damn right we might even know each other where you from jeroen?

I currently live in Bergen op Zoom, so I doubt it..... but I guess we could/should ^_^

Vaassen near Apeldoorn so that's far away i guess

well...looky here a dutch conection^^

sorry guys lack of updates is freaking expanding... at christmas eve we (my wife and me) discovered a leack in the plumbings of our kitchen under the sink that had caused severe soaking of wooden cupboards... all this we now baught new... must be built and then refitted under the sink and the new hearth we baught in the same effort... that is taking up quite some time and to top it all we still have the kids at home as it is still their freetime of off the kindergarden...so i next to nothing have time to make any progress around the little dio i have planned...

also i stumbled on some plans of an ATAT and ATST...maybe these will be the base for a new project that is forming in my mind...stay tuned...

Steampunk AT-ST? I like that idea! Lots of extra gears and whirlygigs.

And of course plenty of rivets!

A Rivety redesign of the Sentinal is is order I believe Vik!

Scene: thick woods, birds chirping, animals start to run, crunching noises overshadowed by the sound of servos powered by steam and the Chuft-chuft sound of a steam motor repeating black smoke billowing off riveted brass and steel bipedal walkers with the cannons mounted on the "chins" their turrets swiveling as they seek targets hidden in the woods.

maybe you need to attach the rivets to other rivets?

That has been done, aka a round rivet glued to a hex rivet for a nut and bolt rivet.

rivets for rivets i love the idea

at shaso... gosh i think i need to review now return of the jedi´s...just for the dynamic researhc of the AT-ST´s^^

at fatty...that will happen later on... i think, the sentinel/SW ATST mix will be a cardboard one...or should i now go for plasticcard...man i am so hesitant...

at dave...lol...but honestly... the clocks we have in our house are all IKEA and aren´t worth a damn when it comes to gears and cogs... but that idea has been running circles ever since in my mind...

Hey Fatty and Dstein! I made you guys into a meme! You can thank me later!

lol... jake... good one!
