thanks LooT tomorrow i will be doing some sneaky stuff at work that will bring the arena on the finishing line... it´s long overdue^^ i need to start something fresh and new

and daleks... i toyed with getting me some of these too for a long time... i guess one day i will make me some on my own...shouldn´´t be that hard ?

well i remember the quarrels and tears i had in my eyes for not being allowed to watch the first time star wars when it was aired in the TV back then.... man... it is so easy to hate your mother if she is dead against such stuff... but eventually i got me the cassettes when doing military service in ´95 and as a weekend homecoming ritual i watched the movies over and over again... i really ruined those tapes back then...

flintloque has captured my interest quite early... but only recently i gave in to my longings^^ so hopefully i will be testing it soon... unpacking it i will soon too


and LDD... couldn´t read that small print^^
and you mentioned it some day that you have one too... yeah it is the old one... just the other minute i another kit (metal) being on ebay for 55€´s ! talk about a saving!!! and yep...pics will happen shortly...

thanks RW... and no point in excusing that outburst... it is understandable... and i can only encourage all friends to push comrade!!!

Flinloque is excellent fun, Slaughterloo especially so. Stick with the Orcs though!

well i have some orcs from the starter package and the oposing elves.... then some more elven command minis and then some rat fighters.... i think this lot will start a collection^^

haven´t yet read anything about the rules... but i gather the orcs are good fighters?

Orcs are always sturdy and stubborn fighters

If they weren't ... we'd expect them to be called "Elves" instead

What about the Orcs from Lord of the Rings? They were pretty cowardly.
LotR... thats another family favourite... my family needs to go outside more

lol

Hey! That looks pretty sweet, Vik! My only question is: "Not" what? I like the hazard stripes, (though I must confess, I didn't have much hope for them when the idea first came up) I think they add a lot to the image. Also the Jumbotron: humans pretty much stay the same thoughout time, they just have better toys Looking forward to see the pimped version. Will it go something like "Yo dawg, we 'new you dig jumbotrons to watch futuristic killin', so we're putting you up on the jumbotron so, while you're getting killed, you can watch yourself gettin' futuristically killed"?

It could have a giant pong game on it too.

The arena is shaping up nicely. There is some great contrast there.

I was speaking of the 40k like Orks, LOTR orcs yeah, they were more like grots.

Ah yes, Indiana Jones. A great series of films. I thought they ruined it a bit with 'The Crystal Skull' though. After the Holy Grail, they were really stuck as what to make the plot of the film about. So, they did like every 60's and 70's pulp comic did, and threw in Soviets and aliens Originality right there

I watched that new "TinTin" movie the other day, and the only thing i could think the whole time was how it would have made a better indiana jones than that frakking film lucas put out recently

I would've rather seen Indy's time working for the Government than the Crystal Skull/alien crap.

i have to agree...the fourth indy was a film not meant to be done... first ...ford is way out of his wits in this one... and la beuf was a pain to watch and i have seen many better movies with cate blanchet... why recently so many good actors go the action movie line is a mystery to me... really take a look... jackson, hopkins and so many more... best part will be ben kingsley as the mandarin in the IM3 movie... although... i think he at least fits the bill for looks...

and the alien plot of indy 4 was a total waste of creative energy... really... *shudders*

at rawson... the not... well... why not? no seriously... we have this lamp from ikea quite a lot...

http://www.ikea.com/de/de/images/products/not-deckenfluter__0085594_PE213371_S4.JPG

and it comes in a very nice and stury package... one i use at least three for storing my minis in

as for the hazard stripes... well these are my first honest ones i made... they could have been better... truth be told... but... my son today saw them and said...WOW! which i took as a big comliment too so... the target group has kinda approved

at dave... pong...lol... i never thought about such an idea... lol... pretty clever... tho not this time

at LooT... my wife always wants to drag the kids and me to this outside you speak of... the kids want to play lego and playmobil and i want to sit in front of my desk or my PC ... but tough luck we all end up getting our bums frozen by the weather....
so don´t feel bad about watching movies... i think they are highly educational!!!

at airbornginger... hmmm... you think TINTIN is worth watching? when i was a kid i always avoided reading the books... somehow the artistics of these didn´t speak to me...

at adam...

The arena is shaping up nicely. There is some great contrast there.

thanks mate... the contrast was very important to me... the two sections should look almost like two different worlds... the hazard stripes made that for sure i think^^

hopefully i can finish tomorrow the arena for good... it should be possible... but crossing your fingers would be nice too^^


cheers, vik

Ah yes, the nippy weather Vik... We all prefer basking in the LCD glow of our computer screens

mmmmm...Cozy Radiation

lol...try to explain that to my wife...

If its so bad, then why is it made of warm?

I watched TIN TIN and thought it was fantastic the casting and the CGI great movie, however I read the books as a kid but watch it it is worth it

I AM CR0SSING MY FINGERS VIK! NAOWS WHAT?!

Hmmm, Ben kingsley does a good performance, but the Mandarin was originally a Chinese villain but well, wouldn't wish to upset our trade partners now would we?

I actually really enjoyed the Tintin movie. Once you got past the "its for kids part" it was really fun. The two pirate fight scenes were imaginative and well done.

Never read the books.

While we're on about films, I'm planning on seeing the Hobbit at the first screening of it in my town dressed as a dwarf, accompanied by bilbo and a random elf (we couldn't think of any black-haired elves which are in the hobbit)

@ Shrike
Hugo Elrond-Smith maybe?

What about the Orcs from Lord of the Rings? They were pretty cowardly.
LotR... thats another family favourite... my family needs to go outside more

i went outside once and broke my finger so stay safe and stay inside
