I'm painting a terminator inquisitor today. I will take it slow so as not to buggr it up.

In other news as I was on my way home today I was soaked to the skin in seconds by a sudden blast of water and ice. It was like an entire battalion of riot hoses linked up to a lake full of icecubes. People were staggering around the street in a state of shock and it very quickly reached wading level and gale force winds whipped up waves on the pavements. I think a tree fell down. #2012endoftheworld.

Maybe this kind of thing happens all the time in america but over here we don't take kindly to it. No.

A little preview of ongoing work. This is a beautifully detailed, neat and well balanced model from an era when that was exceptional and the normal run of things was just to bang sh*t together and hope for the best. Going to go grimdark on his ass.

Good name. Good work on the fig. Glad you weathered the storm OK. Not sure what the weather is like on the coast here... but usually if we (who live inland) get something similar to what you describe, it comes associated with a twisty cone of death to boot.

That inquisitor has really stood the test of time! I can see him fitting right alongside today's models no problem. Love the muted tones and the metallics.

Aha - I was wondering why an unknown american man wanted to friend me - I thought it might be dakka. I tend to keep faceyB for people I've actually met. I mean there's photos of me looking fat and drunk and waving my assets about - its not very dignified. Seriously I'm drunk in every photo... Let me think...

I have an update for youse guyz inabit.

Oh dear looking through these FB photos there's a lot of ones where people are all over the place and there's drugs and boobs and ass and people being sick - how did people continue to take photos when we were obviously so wrecked?

I assure you I'm not drunk officer I've only had a few ales.

But no seriously now I'm older and have the pressure of full time work upon me I look back with incredulity at the plethora of drunk photos I'm in - I mean I've seen some drunks but my friends are the best at it and I used to be their leader.

I have no regrets - only a sincere wish for a time machine to take me back.

I say that but on the other hand I think its good to stay sober enough to stay in control of whats happening. Bad things can happen if you aren't in control.

I still love that model. If he wasn't $Texas, I'd find him and buy him. You do him great justice. But now you need to model the offending pooch.

That would be so hilarious...

I'm thinking of doing a checkered cross on his knee-pad in a pale-ish blue. Sort of greyish cornflower.

Cheers neil - good to know that I'm the one that comes to mind when booze, boobs and drugs are being mentioned. I wouldn't be so bothered if it wasn't for the fact I've been teetotal for many years, and my moobs aren't particulary developed (not enough for me to have a pair to play with anyway )

Nice work weety, squat was great, and you need to watch Breaking Bad - by far the best TV show around And it is indeed Malc's old man.

Hybrid was cool too, good job on the OSL, I think subtle is the way to play that most of the time (look at the way that rolls of the tongue as if I know what I'm talking about with OSL ).

Inq Baal is looking very nice, certainly one of the sculpts that has really stood the test of time, really loving the muted pallettes you've been using recently, great stuff.

Waders and cobbled together walkways are the order of the week over here, the pathway that leads to our pontoon has been under water for a few days now, water level's higher than anyone can recall seeing.

I must say, that inquisitor has some very well-defined cheek bones.

I should start my own P&M blog over here. It might motivate me to do something other than glue IG guardsmen together.

I say do it. We will all subscribe!

Waders monkeytroll! Wow it makes me happy to live in the third floor of a building on a hill. Bit windy up here but no floods. The poor sods down near the coast by the river got flooded out so its no joke.

Thanks all for kind words. Chemical cutthroat apart from the blue you're fairly subtle.

Whats next? Consumermass is just around the corner so I might get some new paints and miniatures. Ifalna reckons 'Ard Coat is good and I need a shiny varnish for gems and stuff. As far as miniatures are concerned I'm a bit stumped - I really want to try my hand at something new. I love the inquisitor stuff but its spensive. And the new cultists are cool but everyone has them already. Maybe something old but not RT. 2nd and 3rd edition stuff maybs.

Anyway Xmass won't be totally awesome this year because of inflation in meat and booze prices etc. Plus we all know that its now illegal to be unemployed and you will be sent to the work camps if you loose your job so I will be sucking up big time and doing extra hours. This may cramp my style.
