So, I am expecting a new shipment hopefully fulfilled soon, the United Nations Cosmo Navy


And a really big ship with escorts and the tank

You NEED a big fleet to truck all those tanks of yours from Planet to Planet )

Roughly 100 vehicles from sentinel variants to super heavy tanks, and hundreds of soldiers, between 500-600 men I haz.

You should buy an old cargo van, and convert it into a Massive troop ship

With my legs, I am more likely to get a smaller vehicle, but it would still be the Troop Transport taking my armies for games for the most part. IG is in roughly 4 containers, so I would need such for Apocalypse games, Tau are also in another 3 containers, Orks in a duffle bag, Necrons are still small enough a force for 1-2 boxes or 1 army transport. My SM are 2 containers worth

Oh yeah, gonna buy reaper paints from now on, 4bucks for GW pots is now just making collectors look dumb! I know Tom Kirby is looking to retire with a galleon's worth of wealth, but this is too much!!! I get paint in the eyedropper bottle, and it will last longer if I am not using it, for 3.29 a 1/2 oz bottle, the GW paints are what a .4 or 1/4 oz bottle for 4dollars is just insane!

Yeah...don't buy GW paint

I am really struggling with their latest range, definitely going to be trying other brands from now on.

My source for now, maybe others in future, but GW has outpriced themselves to death paint wise

Reaper makes some fine paint, that's for sure.

As does Vallejo

I prefer the thinness of the airbrush paints even for brush-painting.

With my pallet, I have the control over the eyedropper paints to thin or leave as thick as need be the paints. Reaper says also that their stuff is compatible with hand or air brushes, which is pretty darn flexible.

Talking of paint..........let's see some young man.

Soon, I have to finish up Vasily and his gang

I've actually gotten bite by the painting bug because I mixed all of one color of my paints to use in the airbrush, then had leftovers. It goes o much smoother.

I think I need to pull everything and re-organize the pots and stuff

Looks about right for a painting table. But what is this strange word you used?....organ-ized, is that lumping them in groups roughl the same Olof as organs?

Yeah, I used to have work space for the minis to sit on, gotta get the MDF organizaer from CNC Miniatures.

Meanwhile, here is a Dust mini I painted some stripe camo onto as it was all just panzer grey out of the box.

Highlighting and washes seem needed next, and a new MG as I lost the original little thing a way back, or it may be stored with the other ones in the Dust starter box set I have.

Oh yeah, and considering that the Kampflaufer is crouching, and still towers over the GW sentinel that is impressively sized walker tank for me.

Very reminiscent of WW2 camo used on battleships. Nice I like it.

Good to see paint in it's proper environment.

I still have yet to finish the other walkers in the set, and the soldiers as the set was the basic primer only version with the decals already on the walkers, so I will be careful around those parts.

Nice walker! love the hazard stripes. Why pay so much for an MDF organizer?
The bamboo spice rack organizers are $5 each at Wal-Mart.

Thanks Dave, the pattern is indeed a German WW-II pattern

Wait, a spice racks? those what you have all of those paints on, a low laying, sitting rack??

nice camo on the space ships and the dust walker shas. Nice to see you on earth again.

Yeah, Where you been? I've been pimping these things on my blog for a long time! Five bucks and change each, you can find them in the Kitchen organizer section of housewares in Wal Mart

Thanks, well things are getting more interesting, the next wave of kits arrived.

I seem to have skipped over such posts, but now I know.

Now I have the ill fated Earth ships, the set comes with the Battleship, cruiser and destroyer, and a bonus kit from the past, the old Tri-deck carrier.

The red is a very shiny one, I do have some red that can help calm it down some.

The destroyer Yukikaze is next.

Those model kits seem pretty decent, in that they look like they fit together well. How are they to work with?
