Further note:

Coffee is not good at removing paint from minis (thank God). Also, jabbing a chisel-shaped exacto blade repeatedly into your finger tips is painful and causes annoying bleeding. Word.

Wait. You didn't think to stop after the first time? I am on the floor laughing right now because I am imagining the first time you were introduced to an electric fense.

Or maybe you should take a short nap .

Well, the band aid proved proof against the chisel... then I hit a different finger.

First time I "met" an electric fence I was leaning on it (it was running along a wooden fence post). I leaned on it for a while as the sensation I was feeling made no sense to me what-so-ever (felt like someone was beating on the palm of my hand with a ball-peen hammer). Took me a bit to sort it out.

hahahhhaaa

I was walking on our farm with a friend and grabbed hold of what I thought was a dead fence, I thought my friend had punched me in the arm so I turned round and thumped him one .... as you can imagine he didn't take it well

haha.. my only encounter with an electric fence was while walking to a freinds house.. (we where walking past a stable area with horses and such) he tripped and fell into the smaller electric fence....... it was HILARIOUS!!!

Gittsplitta, Glittsplita he's our man - if anyone can do it - Gitsplita can!

My first encounter with an electric fense was at a horse riding stable with a group of young campers. I was around 10-11 at the time. Like Gits, I happened to lean against a live wire unknowingly and felt a kicking sensation at the heel of my foot. I kept looking around for the culprit, but nobody was nearby. Finaly figured out it was electricity. Then me and my fellow campers started experimenting with the fense by seeing what objects would conduct electricity or forming human chains to determine how far the electricity could pass from one kid to another.

i urinated against a electric fence.... and it hurt.
now i make those things xD

... and on THAT bombshell.... let's move on.


I want to apologize for all of the updates without photographs to support them. I realize that this makes for a very boring P&M blog but given the circumstances (Christmas presents) the pics will have to wait until the 25th.

I completed Thing 1's projects last night. Took a bunch of pics for upload or sharing via e-mail. I really like the way everything's come together. A bit frustrating as when I look at it, it doesn't *seem* like that much new stuff, but it's sure taken a ton of concentrated work to pull off and the end result is looking really spiff. I have one more figure that I'd really like to paint up but I'm just not sure if I'm going to have the time.

Began Thing 2's big conversion project last night. It's unfortunately not going together as easily as I'd hoped, but I am making progress. With luck I'll have the build and GSing done tonight.

Can't believe how much primer, paint and wash I've been going through... today will be my 4th trip to my FLGS since I've started painting these projects to replace supplies.

Gits

I have that same problem with Washes. There is just never enough of the stuff

LOL! You know water (or wee) conducts electricity right? Guess you learnt that lesson the hard way

in my defense i was 5 years old XD

then i give you props, when my nephew was 5 he pee'd all over the place, the fact that you could aim it at that fence took some skill!

Tervigon build is done. I posted the WIP pic on my Nid blog (see link in sig) as the boys are out of school and unlikely to get a chance to see it on the web at a friend's house. Besides, Thing 2 knows he's getting this... but I'd rather he not see it and spoil the surprise. Think I'm safe enough though with Christmas only a few days away.

And i am still in school... i wish i lived in the states

Are you geting anything in the plastic men department for Christmas?

Me? No. I have enough plastic men to last a lifetime. I'll be painting 'till I pass from this world just to get what I have done.

Me too, still getting some Forge World goodness for Christmas though!

Just like me

No...you are one of a kind DarkStarSabre

I could never compete with a robot with a fumanchu mustache. You are indeed one-of-a-kind DSS.


So, without any more substantive stuff to add to my blog... let us divert a bit into holiday musings...

What 40k stuff do people hope to get for Christmas??

As I said earlier, I haven't asked for any... but I did get myself some dakka dice and have picked up a few things for the boys...

On a non-40k note... I did get a Husqvarna Rancher chainsaw from my dad... a great toy... huge help in putting up firewood for winter. Not quite subtle enough for conversion work though.

Anyone else?

FW to the rafters, lol.

Nid hierophant
Flyers (thunderbolt, marauders)
DKK Grenadiers
Elysians

+ XBox stuff, new phone, money etc

Doubt i'll get most of it but its nice to have a list!

I know I'm getting one of the FW Ashmantle dreads. I'm hoping for some more stuff from the rest of the fam, though am not holding my breath.

I am hoping for a photo light box and a new camera for taking pics of both models and nature . Also asked for a seam scraper and some liquid putty from Vallejo.

Moar Fleshtearers.

Something the DCMs already know about.
