..and I was giving LDD crap too

Which I have to say I felt was rather harsh "tears streaming down my cheek" I was only putting across a view as stated by "IMO"

However after stroking Viks nerve apparently urgh …… he obviously felt the same ……. that does not sound right after that statement

So to Dave here is your crap back hope you choke

Vik great job glad I was of help with the straps idea it is coming on great hows the armour coming

well... i riveted it up...and tomorrow i will needto make lotsa rivets... i pan on making every plate of the armor riveted...so this will take a while...i think later on when painting happens this will give me the oprtunity to make a more simple looking paintjob with nice scratches and such things...detailed (maybe overdetailed tho surface) but less complicated paintscheme... by the way... for the moment i have ruled out to show any pipes and gears... i envision themall beneath the armor plates and other means of cover... not really steampunky then but a bit that helps me get this knight done quicker... my patience is getting stressed...

Sounds amazing mate no need for any advice on this …….. Plus to much gak being thrown at me at the moment LOL Cant wait to see this finished but don't rush it.

If it stress you out maybe it is time to pick up the air ship again mate or the guard

well after this built i should go on painting for a while... much cleaner apartment thus^^ and my wife will like that^^ and also...she likes it when i fisih a project... she doesn´t want me to start too many subprojects...but well i can´t help it if the bug bites me...

the airship is like a giant sized overdue homework...you know that feeling? when you were a kid... friday...back home...you knew you had to make this homework...but you put it off...till sunday around the evening... and during the whole damn weekend you are only thinking about that homework...all the fun you could be having is feeling sour as you have that bilefoul taste of a job still needed to do...darn... that s how i feel about the airship...

Yeah I have a butterfly brain as well Vik... I get caught up in new ideas which is why I decided to start the scenery in blocks between doing the 500pt sections of my army...

So your Airship is like a white elephant in the room?

lol...congratz^^


is that the saying ...white elephant?...aha...

but yes... the big white whale for me... i need to tackle that one... i am quite amazed i fisihed my first tank... it was meant to be a way to see if i was able to get a project done at all... after the epic postponing of the airship...

lol, get to it!!!! NAO!

later...mucho later^^

An airship? What?

look under imperial armor into my gallery...or imperial steampunk... there you find some abandoend WIP pics of an airship...

Absolutely beautiful, ^^ tears of oil are coming to my eyes. I cant wait to see more work of these awesome mechanical creations you are making.

I think when you start in this hobby things were easier to finish, now well thats another story I cant finish anything these days.

That airship sounds like a soul killer how long has it been ? what is it that has stalled you on it ?

well keep at it and don't forget home work has to be done by monday morning

wow vik this arm looks great... and btw no lie, didnt know there was a cat pirate anywhere, so my jaw literaly dropped when those things came out of the sky and landed on a dog (killing it)

Great work Vik! Love the new work on the arm.

Ah the great airship project, Not even Vik can say when his deck topped zeppelin will be finished!

Guess you could say the airship project is a bit up in the air at the moment then.

thanks shaso! and yep... if the airshipo would be weather...we wouln´t know when that hailstorm would hit us...probably totally unaware...

My eyes are tired and my mouse is all worn out but I finally found the latest picture update! I deserve rest now.

may you sleep well...! you´ve earned it... how many pages had you sieve through? lol

I'm amazed it's only a couple of months over a year old, I figured a blog this long would be from 2010 or 2009.

not with so many motormouths on^^ lol... also this is one of the few were going slightly off topic is encouraged^^

It's refreshing that way, no monotone "guys look what I'm making". With updates demanded to keep it going. Just the occasional update while the thread goes along by itself almost, no doubt with the occasional good idea surfacing whether intentional or accidental.

Vik your being to modest now. slightly.... when this tread goes off topic it makes a trip around half the world stops for some beer and steak and then comes back on topic

occasional good idea surfacing whether intentional or accidental

...we so often say lol and we didn´t really lol... but that made me laugh out loud!!! good one!^^

HAHAHA LMAO!

The Japanese excersize in big groups before work, the English have breakfast and tea, Americans are expected to do your eating and excersizing and bathroom breaks on our own time before the workday starts at 7:00 am!

no wonder slavery gospels are from the US...
