I'm still working on my 20 shootaboys. Oh I'm slow. Looking forward to continuing on my BW soon. It will be a nice change of pace.

Haha thats cool, i wish they did soapbox in UK, would've been awesome fun to do as a youngster. How did you use the ab, is it not too much of a large area to cover?

Just don't get the two confused eh?

I must say its pretty sweet!
I also have 2000 points of SM in simple green waiting for a re paint

Pics! I must have pics! Of course you'll have to post them somewhere else and link them (can't put non gaming pics in the dakka gallery), but I'd love to see it. My blog... my rulez!

A lofty goal... and one I've never achieved. Still working on every army I own.

Sounds great! I envy you builder types... just don't have the stones myself.

I'm a bit ahead of myself with these ladies but I'd rather get metal when I have the chance (from ebay) than the possibility of failcast. I've read the WD codex and they look quite fun to play.

Other than squats (which will never return), SOB is the only army that still beckons to me.

Some eye candy for you all....

Raided Hits_the_Spot's web site and snagged some of his older, unwanted figures. A titan tech priest, servitor and skulls and an inquisitor, all done in deep red... which will work perfectly with my Red Knights when I finally get around to finishing them off. Really excited about having some of Steve's work in-hand. Very impressive.

Thanks Steve! You made my day!

Inquisitor Angelus Castor:

Got "champion" written all over it. Unfortunately it's not my son's car...

Wow!, Thats awesome!!

oh yea the models are nice too

But, Why does he have no shoulder pad?

Dunno, he's an Inquisitor I guess. No need for huge shoulder pads when your not weathering a hailstorm of incoming rounds day-in, day-out. Besides... it's hard to see chaos sneakin' up on you with those big shoulder pads!

Sweet Ride Bro!

I do like those FW servitors. You're a lucky man to have grabbed some of Steve's stuff. I was very tempted, but I've just bought about 2000 points of unbuilt guard from someone in the trade threads and couldn't justify more spend.

Ah yes... there is always that calculation. However since these were already built and expertly painted... it seemed like a good use of gaming funds. (and not all that many to boot)

@CC: Thanks! Hope the young man likes how it turned out!

Thats an awesome car.

And Hits' work is freaking awesome.

The edges of the auto pin-striping tape are much less visible on the car in-person, it's the angle of the photo and the bright lights of my light tent that make it look so obvious. I suppose if this was Thing 2's car, I might be anal enough to airbrush over the lines with black, or to take some narrow black pin-striping and cover the edges of the flame piece with it... but I think it'll stand as is for his friend.

And that's your "Git's Tip" for the day! Real automobile pin-striping is fantastic for putting uniform lines on small models, be they a pinewood derby car or an GW model. Especially the simple striping like a solid line of color (black, white, red)... the pin-striping tape is very secure, comes in different widths and really thin (top to bottom). You can even curve it just like the true pin-striping masters do on automobiles. So, why fight city hall eh? Somebody went to a lot of trouble to develop this stuff, might as well use it!

... and yes, Hit's work IS freakin' awesome. There are a number of people on dakka who's work I really want examples of. Not only to have but to use as study pieces. I've gotten some through the GMS & am slowly accumulating others through purchases. Sometimes having an item in-hand can really open your eyes in a way no photograph can. Well worth the investment.

That inquisitor is beautiful.

Oh alright Gits no need to harp on about it, i'll send you something soon!

(my tongue is planted firmly in my cheek too )

You didn't quite quote enough...

But yes nerdfest... I do indeed worship the artistic ground you walk on. Well, I would... if your feet actually touched the ground when you walked. Unfortunately you're so full of HOT AIR that you float just a bit!

Float huh?

Excellent!
That means he can actually leave that god forsaken island of his

Heres Our car:
And The friendly chaos renegade that technically makes this wargaming related

That's a sweet Pinewood Derby car, but I was expecting some grots hanging off of it!

Scout in my pack wrapped a piece of wood just the same size and shape as a candy bar in an old candy bar wrapper and glued it to the top of his car. It acted like a wing, and he ended up with 3rd place!

Aw! Darn it! I missed some mold lines...

That's a sweet car. Don't think the rules of our district would allow that... Our regs are really restrictive and getting more-so every year.

Sweet looking cars guys.

For us yokels over in the olde worlde, what's a pinewood derby? When you first mentioned scouts and cars I was thinking of go-karts for some reason

Hey Gits, great looking car you've got there. Glad to see the minis arrived in good time and condition. Don't forget to leave a review when you get the chance.

Oh ya, and keep up the good work!

It's for cub scouts. Each boy gets a kit to make a little wooden car to race... then their dad's take over and it becomes a giant pissing contest to see which family has the best cars.

(did I say that?)

I'm as guilty as anyone mind you, but with me it's how the cars look rather than how fast they go. (figures, eh?)

Would love to leave a review... where would you like it? The web site (which I assume will be moving soon), your dakka blog, my dakka blog? Take your pick, any or all!

WOW Gits! The Pinewood hotrod is fantastic, so is that servitor! Simply amazing!!

Gitsplitta wrote:That's a sweet car. Don't think the rules of our district would allow that... Our regs are really restrictive and getting more-so every year.

That really stinks, For us, as long as its in the weight limits, and is from the same block of wood as the kit, anything goes!

Heh, when I was a kid I made a silver corvette with lead cast into holes drilled into the underside for weight. It was awesome. I took second place and it is still the only trophy I have ever won.

My first car (they used the thin wheels back then) looked like the old fashioned race car that Chitty Chitty Bang Bang was made out of (see the first couple of minutes of the movie). However, it was anything but fancy... just decorated with marker. Also took second. The only trophy I ever won that I gave a damn about.

I remember watching my friend burn his car out of rage....-Childhood memories-

i remember that the kid who got first place got DQ'd for paying someone to build his car, which ended up looking like a dragracer.. he cried and it was quite entertaining

Hey Gits, if ou could leave the review on the site that would be great. Don't worry about doing indivual ones. The site address will be changing soon but the site itself wont be changing. Well there will be some new graphics.

Will do Hits.

Like the guys gitz! Are they FW? Btw I've updated my blog.
