LMFAO! HAHAHA!
you should've used cheech and chong instead

If you are looking for good gears the best sources for me have always been old wind up toys and broken printers. Bothe are easy to find.

at meatshield... yeah you are bang to rights with that one...and i already have stretched my tendrils out in that direction...

I'll have to remeber that for next time!

Good job

As a matter of fact, I finally got round to watching inception a week or so ago... I walked out of the room all wierd, like I was only half-conscious

but yeah, not been doing much on the internet of late (too many trips out/playing video games), but hopefully I'll be on more next year

we´ll see to that *puts shotgun beside him*

well any way... i wish you all that have sticked with me to that lacking any pictureupdates thread for the last weeks... the new year surley will bring new projects and new hypes and downs in this thread... so bear with me and travel through this mist of creativity!

i wish you all out there a happy new year and that the new year brings not too much strife but more fun and winnings!

would be nice for a change^^

cheers, yours truly vik

Happy new years vik. Hopefully the new year will bring some awesome updates...*nudge*.
Do I need a shotgun too?

do aussies except in times of nuclear accidents wear shotgun habitual?

i do hope too for cool updates...er... oh...this is my thread so everyone is expecting me to make updates???^^

well plans are afoot...sadly i have to go shoping for some printers cartridges as my printer is sucked dry... planned to make patterns for my ATST conversion today but no such luck...seems that will happen after new year...

Well, Europeans hold the stereotype of Americans as all owning guns. So I will just roll with that and
/rack shotgun

And Vik, you NEED to build the steampunk AT-ST out of PLASTIC, not cardboard! If you need more supplies, let me know

lol... i guess i will be set for this built as is... the stock is quite big enough thanks to your earlier carepackage^^

and i thought as much the same... also this might in the long run provide me with the option to maybe cast the thingy... which would be a totally sweet thing^^

the main reason i have not really made progress with PC is the glue issue i have not solved yet... i need to find a good glue and then literally all would be set...

I now have a guy here on Dakka, Galorn, who is great at mold-making. I too, am thinking in terms of casting. But Vik, you should first make a prototype model before you section it out for casting. It would be very expensive if you designed the thing in sections for casting, and then it didn't work out. You will learn much from the prototype, and your patterns will make reproducing it easier.

absolutly second your point here... and it was maybe a bit confusing... but it was meant to be exactly the way you described it... first prototype and then the "explosion" and making seperate parts^^

otherwise i think it wouldn´t work at all...

Trust me it is best to do a trial run and you will have mistakes and at time you will bang your head repeatedly against a wall but eventually you will succeed and the out come will be great and worth the effort plus search for some casting tips on the net I found a few that really helped and moved things along quickly.

Good luck Viktor and now I am storking you so happy new year and see you very soon Ha HA Hahh ah ah

see...that was the master plan...i was secretly trying to drag you...drag you i tell thee...to my own lair...now that i have you in my fist...^^

well yeah...for casting...this will take some time to start things...but the casting as such is planned...i hope it will be starting this year... could truly revolutionize the hobby for me...

Viktor von Domm wrote: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 am guilty of this as well! I keep getting off track from painting my Warmachine models( my Cygnar, Khador, Mercs & Menoth ), then my Mordian Iron Guard, the Fenris IG project, my Space Wolves force project.. Well I like putting the models together, its almost as fun as playing with them. Painting would be my second love after all the conversion ideas I have.

I'm glad to hear everyone's holidays were a rousing success! I look forward to updates, tips, tricks, conversions and painting soon!

I found it a bit daunting at first but after finding a decent supplier of resin and silicone who also helped me greatly with what I needed for my use, I have had some great fun with it and a few mishaps but overall it has been worth the effort.


Now how do I get out of here is this some kind of well I am in and why does this basket of body lotion keep coming down here HELLO HELLO CAN YOU HEAR ME ………….

IT DOES WHAT IT IS TOLD! Haha LDD

good to have you here now too hmelrose!

yeah converting minis is by far the most enjoyable feat of the hobby for me too...

hope i can provide all you wish for soonish^^if projets/armies would be money....then i would be a rich man...sadly it is with so many stuff going on quite the opposie^^ got two SM armies on the hold... my IG steampunkstyle...then a sizable amount of catachans...and some Warzone minis i wanted to make as a chaosy IG WWI german styled...gosh....then the arbites counts as force for my oldest son and whatever else takes my fancy^^time and money being the hardest currencies in the hobby^^

You can earn it but you don't have the time to spend it or you spend it but don't have the time to earn it, work and money sucks

Plus half the time you lot waste (me included ) is looking and posting on Dakka Dakka DAM YOU DAM YOU ALLLLLLLLL

the last part is oh so true...while surfing...posting or laughing ones hunchback off...this time could be also wasted by painting/modeling...then there is that fair amount of vidgaming one man needs to blow off some steam...

and well...wasting/spending money sure gets harder when at work...but i remeber that i spent oh so many €€ s while sitting at a desk wading through pages of ebay...^^

Dam those online shooters yep its six am in the morning again and have not been to bed yet and Evilbay I am sure it's a bargain at the time and a must have but it turns up and it gets stored in another draw box or shelve now where did that page go ……….

well i was never the one to have any hobby discipline...not in seeing a project through or in not buying stuff i can´t complete in a nearer future...i guess i play a hrode army becasue (not so) deep down i am a horder^^

also...on ebay everything looks so damn useful...and then you get teased here on dakka so many times a day... it is buying in self defence...argh...i know when i am loosing an argument^^

What did you say I was just buying a new circle cutter that I know Rictus had purchased looks good might work on plasticard now need to go shoot things and glue stuff together and start my late shift and make my lunch where does the time go ………..

ROFL...

as for the circle cutter...i own one of these...well...looked quite around for this but in the end even a better classed one was not what i had in mind...

so uppy ye go...down in the coalmine again^^

I find your lack of updates.....Disturbing.

Hey vik few questions;
firstly what are we currently blabing on about?
And update man!Come on 3or so pages!

I find your lack of updates.....Disturbing.

lol...so you do now like shrike auto comments?...well...


at hazzer...yers...well...we went to ikea today...again...any further info needed?

another update will happen tomorrow till 13:00 CET...promised upon your dead carcasses...

Ikea you say the pit of hell as it goes by in this house, 3 hours of your life you never get back and the only redeeming feature is a plate of meatballs and chips ERRRMMM

Did you get any thing nice HAHAHA

I think an update might be needed the town folk are gathering and they don't look happy ……...

depends...we did get a big plastic box...and some six small plastic boxes to go^^ no meatballs this time... tho even my son asked for them...he is half vegetarian... but we were pretty tight on time today...becase it was the second time this week we went there...argh...tho i do like it from time to time to go there... i really enjoy shopping, provided i have enough time doing it...but my wife hates it... we are the reverse stereotype of male/female in the shopping department^^

and since we try to redecorate the childrens room... we baught yet another new rack support beam... for those who are known to the stuff... IVAR... nice and quiete refershingly flexible a system...

the only one major thing i can´t stand with ikea is that you mostly have to walk how they want you to walk... if you get rid of your kids in that smalalnd...then you want to get them back... it is an endless odysee to get where you want to go...and don´t ask me about lifts going the way you want them to go...
