Yes, angry townsfolk indeed

hey no fair one of them bowmen has a gun... and to bring torches... what behavior is that? eh?

An entire box of Mordheim "frenzied mob" and not one of them is carrying a pitchfork.

haha aint that a suprise!

always thought pitchforks were mandatory...they give such finished look to a dedicated mob...

DUDE WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU ……… I like shopping on the net I go I look I buy done, not this wondering around aimlessly being run into barged passed asked if I need help screaming children arguing couples no thanks but I guess if you like it then you like it.

As for IKea and the walking system (cattle driving) I hate it as it seems to flow correctly then there is this bit in the middle where the systems just goes of in random directions and people end up congregating and all try to go in different directions resulting in a pile up of people I just don't get it.


Well I take my hat of to you sir you must have the patience of a saint

Sorry but the answer to the towns folk was added as I was writing in a very slow way and the misses has told me she is going to bed as I seem distracted I think that means I have not paid enough interest in her tonight o dear I think I am in trouble.



Pitchforks are a must and burning torches what kind of angry town folk don't have them ……..

lol... no saints involved there... i just need the insiration...lots of hobby related stuff i got from there...also we do buy the oddest stuff there and missuse it in other ways... next to the complete flat is stuffed and outfiutted by ikea...but all is customized or rather converted... the desk my wife does the sewing on has a big plate as the deskplate and sits between to racks of IVAR... we like to experiment and play out new ideas when it comes to furniture...and my wife gets exactly the kind of emotions you get... so she urges me on to get the feth out of this madhouse...^^

safty rule with wifes nr. 1... wife always comes first...always...

every mob that is worth it´s grain of salt has them... if not the mob is really not trying and should have stayed at home... if some mob has them not i wouldn´t even bother to look for those pointy sticks to impale a bloody vampire with...really some townsfolk these days...

I like the sound of your wife she has a good head on her I think you are a lucky man a wife that does not like shopping you have been blessed by the gods, they looked down on you and gave you an angle in human form …… you lucky bastard lol

Hobby related stuff from Ikea now I truly am confused what and how ? converting furniture you are a master in your own right or though I do think you have combined your hobby with your home and created a brand new hobby

Safety rule 1 wife comes first I know this but I was typing and reading these dam threads see you guys are getting me in trouble now ……...


Angry mobs here today burned tomorrow

ok basing materials... big cork stuff you use for pots to be put on the table and for the cups and stuff to not make wet rings on the table... then i got this big half slit cable..llooks like a cabletunnel...will be used later on...today i baught a wooden thingy...will be transfromed into a gun for the kids... and so many other things in the past...

as for the converting at home... well it is the same spirit that drives me on when opening a box of cadians... no one can expect me to just use them as is... same with fruniture...provided it is just wood...everything beyond gets nasty to convert on that scale^^

and well what can i say... she can be as angelic as one might dream...and the other stuff too^^

It all makes sense now the uses are endless, who thought Ikea could be such a treasure trove I have to ask what are you going to use the slit cable for

and the other stuff not sure what you mean by that but like I said earlier I am having a slow night

as for the slit thing... i guess i have to show that tomorrow... that at least wouold be a true update i think...but honestly i think i have shown that already... might be in my gallery even...hmm... will show some looks and maybe even purpose to the stuff...

I guess the Christmas spirit has passed you had no choice but to change it, I thought it was doom but was not sure.

You mean people are going to recognise me as that a puppet with a gun my life is complete …… note to self more time over avatar.

Hope to see an update tomorrow got to hit the sack my eyeballs are falling into my coffee been a long day must sleep now but hey no work tomorrow let me have the day off due to orders being low (unpaid but hey ) might get something done

well one thing you could really start tomorrow... start your own thread... a healthy dose of your own medicine...wanna wanna picsy now...wannannnnwnanannnaa you will get that then from at least me too^^

and for me it is off the damned computer too now...

tomorrow by the way i will go to the movies...sherlock holmes the second movie... we wathced the first today at home... brilliant stuff i say so myself^^

cheerio!

We went yesterday to see Holmes, VERY cool movie! You get bonus Points for spotting a cool new mix of bricks and rivets in the movie

Lots of rivets in that movie!

that is the secret behind my motivation^^

awsome movie series there... i totally like the new take on the holmes concept!

I will start my own thread but not for a month or 2 yet and it will be a very random thread I am afraid of started and mainly unfinished models and stuff I don't really play sorry guys just love to cut and shunt models together maybe one day I will pick up the dice again but not at the moment.

Viktor I will look forward to your demands for updates and pictures and use them as motivation or at least a nudge lol

As for homes the first one was a pretty good movie considering who directed it and the second I hope to be as good with a bit of luck, have you seen his other films lock stock and snatch thats what it is really like over here lol

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...

IVAR is nice, but I find the utility of the GORM series to be similar and less expensive. You can do so much with it! Damn Ikea and their cheap fake swedish furniture. More storage is always nice though, especially for hobbies.

I want to see more of your work! Even if you just take pics of the stuff you've already done from a different angle!

Have you checked out http://www.ikeahackers.net ? Its like a converters site for ikea.

now hmelrose...that is a cool link... i will digest that together with my wife... just a short glimpse revealed the laundry monster...what an eyeopener!

i know of gorm.... we first started to use IVAR for our living room... to built two major kick ass big desks to work on and play and what not... my wife had a 0.80x2.20m desk and mine was smaller yet next to identically built inbetween two racks of ivar... then we moved rooms with the kids ...they got the biggest room in the flat...and we baught even more ivar it is now even in the bathroom...as a bench and a rack...there is so much use in this stuff...with gorm i dont like that i have to use the screwdriver if i want to build it... ivar you only need your fingers...(except of course you use those lockers you can buy too... which we have also quite a few of...)

I want to see more of your work! Even if you just take pics of the stuff you've already done from a different angle!

lol... who could argue with such an argument ^^ that at least can be easyly aranged^^

A happy wife is a happy life!

aye rawson...truer words...you know the drill^^


at LDD...yeah the first season was shown twice already on german TV...lovley... that wierd sherlock interpretation was one of my favorite... tho i love the features of peter cushing as one of the best personans of the sherlock charcter it is the new actor in the series and the downey jr...who bring the fictious charcter to a truly new level of a realistic genius...

as for your thread...

I will start my own thread but not for a month or 2 yet and it will be a very random thread I am afraid of started and mainly unfinished models and stuff I don't really play sorry guys just love to cut and shunt models together

well i settle for a purly modeling thread any day of the week... what with me a total blank when it comes down to rules...and such things...i love seeing other working with the stuff and creating new things out of them ...so pluck up yer courage and get things moving...

Ah yes, the era of true rivet love! everything was rivets as welding was not yet as widespread or trusted w/o some rivets to shore things up!

at shaso... yep the first was already quite a stylish education in itself for me and i do hope for the second to be as good as the first one...



as for an update ... will clean up shortly my workspace...then some new work can be done there... update will happen either way as promised above...^^

and now i give you a mucho needed picture update of yours truly ...

at first i want to declare that the steampunk airship probably will see a major overhaul in the nearer future... i think that many issues in material and sacle are that hard to cope with atm for me that i need to restart from scratch... beside, the things i have learned here will directly flow into this new project of mine and it will show lots of learned lessons...besides i can´t stand the concept as is anymore... needs to be redone with more hindsight this time...

as a matter of fact i recently baught me these here... for scale referrence is a black devil scottsman ...they will be a nice addition i think to the built...




also i would like you all to show what kind of crazy and messy worker i ammost of the time... here is my mancave...




needs some definte reorganiting... the wife gets very frustrted when she sees the carfully filed away projects... mind you a whole lot you cant see in this pic as much of the stuff of mine is already stowed away in cuboards and on my true mancave upstairs... we built a second deck so to speak just above ...where my PC is located and lots of hobby stuff is collecting dust... but that is too messy to be shown even here^^

I cant believe Ikeahackers.net what an amazement truly the fact that people take what is readily available and make a better use out of it, I used to work as a furniture assembler/machinist (I use the term loosely ) in the pine industry over here for a few years glue and pinned as we call it crap.

I would say Ikea even built in its mass production and flat pack form was way better than what we made lol we have had a few bits from there and I have to say they have been moved from home to home a few times and still go back together just as strong.

As for the interpretations of Sherlock homes of which there are 2 at the moment I love both on completely different levels,with the TV version Sherlock's persona of an awkward genius with a total disregard for correct social interaction, however from time to time when his guard is lowered there is almost a human side to him.

When we come to the movie version Sherlocks persona takes on more of the subtle genius but more loveable rouge aspect with a hint of action hero thrown in after all it is the movies, but in all this we should not forget the side kick dear Watson in both cases I feel similarities in there representations on the screen.

Both this time seem to be have given a stronger personalty with a smarter edge plus more of an equal partner ship to the team rather than the bumbling fool as he is often represented as if not to just heighten the deductions of the genius that is Sherlock Holmes.

Dam you always amend your post as I writ a reply so now I have to amend mine as for the man cave mine is a hell of a lot worse to the fact I cant even really get in their at the moment so don't feel to bad.


Mind you I have cleaned enough space to get to my desk just ……..

lol... also i just uplaoded some old style first minis of mine...:





because of a nice thread...fist paintjobs and all... so i thought i might rise to the occasion...

as for the mancave... well it is no actual mancave at all but a corner of our living room and as such has to up hold some technical laws for maneuverability... otherwise i would not be given the blues but the rock and metal from my wife...it is even with this hardly bearable for her... but space is pretty rare...

as for the ikea stuff... mind you i always thought prisonworkers and slaves make the best furniture... us mere free peeps are just not working at that cutting edge... what i am rambling at? try to look up some more recent news to ikea... they even had political inmates work in the former eastern german republic...yeah right... who would have thought...


but you are right... we have some second (possibly third) hand stuff form ikea and moved everything from corner to corner in our flat... sometimes me thinks putting wheels under the racks would help^^ so much have we moved inside our rooms the stuff around...

as i remeber reading somewhere sherlock was meant to be a gay character... so it is truer to the original concept in the TV series... but i also like the more romantic bond^^ touch you have going on now with downey... and i just love how he calculates his fights beforehand... that is so comic of the 60s^^
in the good old movies watson was mostly just a grunty old fart that was there to have not sherlock look too stupid while rambling around his conclusions... now he is a full player, both on the screen and the telly... which i much more prefer... teamplay is right up my alley... and in the movies there are many scenes in which sherlock wouldn´t have a fleeting chance without his formidable sidekick watson...
beside... i think (sorry forgott the actors name, but he will play bilbo beutlin too ) is such a cool guy... in the series... he is such a card... works again as a doc and sleeps due to lack of sleep in his physician rooms... lol... that is what life is all about... you can´t stay a hero 24/7... you sometimes loose or slip... and thats why i love the series and the movies... they create wonderful threedimensional charcters

Some remakes are worth it.

Love finding old stuff it makes you realise how much you have moved on from when you started but recaptures the interest as to why you fell in love with the hobby in the first place.

Martin freeman (the name that escapes you ) is a pretty good actor seen him in a few things favourite being the office (original version) hilarious I was not shaw of him taken the role of Watson but I think he has made it his own.

As for Sherlock being gay never heard that before but then he was a long term bachelor so I guess it is possible, mind you in the TV shows second series you may be in for a surprise then don't want to spoil it for you but really enjoyed the first episode and holy crap they are now just advertising the second episode as I type.

I was thinking of asking the misses if she feels like seeing Sherlock 2 tonight as I have the day off and I have heard reports of it being worth a watch (I doubt it though ).

I have been looking through my started works and half finished conversion to see if I have enough to start a thread of my own still not sure if it is enough plus the demand for updates can I cope with the pressure.

Nice stuff man!Love it!Keep it up!

Hey look! Vik posted some pictures...

Vik's posted pics?

Real, actual photographs and the like?

Damn, that must have been what the Prime Minister was trying to contact me about.


I have to say vik, that man-cave is barely deserving of the title. There's a good couple of square feet of floor visible, there appears to be room for a veritable horde of parts in all those clear spaces on the shelves, and there doesn't seem to be much hanging off those handily placed ladder steps.
Obviously there's a few bonus points to be had for having a half-completed airship on a shelf, so not all bad

I love seeing other hobbyists "Inner Sanctums", the Holiest Of Holies, the Skonkwerks, the man-caves, whatever you call them.

stein you forget the wife-repalent.

Vik nice models and those cannons look awesome where are they from?

HAHA, In my past life, I knew EXACTLY what you mean fatty, but I don't have that problem anymore, my GF likes to sit and watch me paint, the garage is set up like a den, with couch and tv as well as game table and hobby area(s)
