looking great vik!

I actually have my Captain Britain socks on at the moment What about the RAF circles on the shield?

at LDD... yeah right... does it sound too dickish that we redecorated the whole childrens room in one weekend? new carpet and every single piece of furniture is now standing at a totally different place? it can be done....

at mordain...yeah... that would be possible too... although this would then remind us all a bit too strongly of cap of A, eh?

at Hazzer... thank you sir!

That RAF circle's just always made me think "I'm a target, please shoot here!" I think the Lion Rampant is more fitting with your Victorian theme anyway.

Nice work on that captain, Vik! And yes, any model that carries a riveted shield has badass written all over it... oh and why not put a gear or two on it, for decoration?

lol...mr merlin... read my answer to LDD´s earlier suggestion regarding cogs onna shield?

and mars... yeppers... i am totally with you on this... i will try to get a freehand done for this... IF this fails... i have found some ebay bitz of bretonian shields with raised details... or even a decal... that is my fall back position plan then^^... but corss fingers for me and may the lords guide my brush

well... so much for today... got nothing done at all... work is again in full swing and i am exhausten when finally coming back home...


cheers, vik

Old fart

yeah well... you know that table we have talked about worth making...? well sometimes the wood is dead against any form of shaping up...... those lil buggers

LOL ..A master woodworker spends a LOT of time sanding Vik

lol.... there are sometimes days when you think about just using the axe instead

Vik you are either lying or you are to dam fast at decorating LOL and don't talk to me about sanding I have no skin left on my fingers from trying to sand the staircase.

I really cant wait to get all this done so I can build and paint my models

I still think the shield needs cogs

Maybe a cog rim to the shield? And we've just totally reorganised our upper floor, via a brief jaunt to Mr Ikea...

The only decent thing about Ikea is warhammer world is down the road, yes that way I get to buy toys the whole upper floor dam ….. mind you we are getting close to the whole house being done


Sorry Vik your thread has turned into good housekeeping

I'm a lazy-ass that isn't redecorating anything when it's this fething cold outside.

Never to cold for building and painting models though

LOL! Love the Captain Vik! Now If I had the parts, a Captain Khadrovia would have a definite cog theme to the shield as well as a BIG RED STAR in the middle. I have to find those from my Tau stuff. Soviet Airforce stars that is.

Anyone else get confused now that Dave and Vik have the same model as their avatar?

No, because Vik's says VIK really big

'Tis true, the same model posed for each image though.

It's a popular model!

I just wanted to say I also like your Cap'n Vik! I think the lion will look great, but making an homage to Cap'n "A" would be cool too.

I'm sure you will do it justice! (pun not intended )

I know I have been absent from the threads for far too long, but I recently got side-tracked by building up my Chaos Army. I finally visited my FLGS, and I want to get in some games before too long, so I want my army to be completely assembled, if not painted.

Keep up the good work! I'll be watching!

Jake, the new pot laws in Washington State are actually good for the hobby too

Maybe his logo should be a V so he's Captain V for Victory? Very British

not lying... not as such... but i might have exagerated a bit maybe on the amount of work done ... tho it is true a new carpet and all furniture has been rearanged... it needed to be done!...

and no cogs...seriously ...

darn... that would actually add a nice edge to the shield... but that´d be only possible with gs then...oh my...

naw.... no point in feeling bad about chatting about house works.... i actually like that... as for ikea...we have about 80% of our furniture bought from there.... i love their stuff... the whole flat is styled and filled with IVAR.... splendid stuff...if you ask me...works for customizations like a charm!!!

ah... when it is summer i am less able and eager to work with muscles... when its cold outside you can work way harder...you can cool down while sweating.... but that´s not possible in the summer time...

Look after the crap day I have had with incompetent delivery firms that would work better run by slowed monkeys and arrogant lazy arse holes who I have the unfortunate experience of sharing air with at work, anything is possible

Sorry had to get that of my chest

definatly build it! just got that graphic novel for christmas finished it in 2 sittings, its great and a model would be badass

LOL..Growing would fund a LOT of projects for sure!

V for Vendetta is one of my favourite films

If you are unable to free hand the rampant lion with a paint brush, and you thought about using drawing pens? I use them on my purity seals for the text. Just bout a pack of 12 different colours (although they are a little thick for my liking) i have my black ones 0.1, 0.3 & 0.5 mm (well i assume its in mm)
