I thought it was men in tights too?

It is ………. I give up

so do I

Good

just for your information...

tomorrow... major update time!... i wanna see you all gathered here around the lil lamplight! it´ll be worth it!

cheers, teasing vik

Vik... Why tomorrow? If the tights fit, you should wear them NOW

By the way, you have any idea on how I can possibly create eyes on such small a blindfold as my hero has? I'm at a loss on how to do it. Asking this here cuz you get lots more visitors, and I hope everyone will let their mind loose on my dilemma. After all, since you gave me the eye-mask curse, I have to beat your captain britannica to the punch with my Major Aks...

if you want to go the extra mile and make eye slits... have you consideres melting them inside? or you could just cut them out... fill them again with a small amount of GS... tricky...granted... but you don´t need to make actual eyes... comic eyes would do for a mask...

like:




and i need to take some more pics maus... otherwise i would already have updated

and a tease is half the fun of the actual feat... but you can tease more often then deliver

I can't wait for the great reveal, i wonder what it will be?

In regards to leg ware. I am amazed at the ridiculusness of what people wear out. When i am stood on a door at the weekend seeing "men" in skin tight trousers and deck shoes. Sigh.

Hopefully, Vik won't show us a pic of him wearing tights

yeah, I know several like that- me, I wear running trainers, cargo trousers and a T-shirt. Cheap, practical and comfy.

Yes, I think those skinny jeans even look bad on women. When I see guys wearing them, I just shake my head. I must be getting old?

Xcuse me... but with a mohawk in different colours, ska and punk in my music player, and paperclips in my ears... I must have skinny jeans too... preferably in tartan

But I doubt if Vik will wear tights... perhaps just for the missus...

I have worn long johns on the door, (under my tyrousers of course) but i know of other Doorman that have worn thier Mrs' tights under thier trousers to keep warm. lol

I've always wondered about that kind of thing, Mau S. Are there people who love mutli-colored mohawks, but like to listen to Mozart? Or people who wear skinny jeans, in tartan even, but don't listen to punk and ska?

Seriously... did music follow the clothing, or did the clothing follow the music?

at the beginning, I'm not sure. Nowadays, clothing definitely follows the music.

Well I have worn skinny jeans baggy jeans cargo pants, but no tights ……. yet

My sisters other half was a builder and used to wear her tights in winter to keep warm apparently, not sure why he wore her nickers and suspender belt as well though

"but the panties add an extra layer of insulation... no, of course it's not because they're pink and frilly..."

I'm guessing i'm a perfect example of clothing following the music, and then music diverting and rejoining the clothing. I started out with heavy metal and hardrock, did the whole skinhead/ska thing, turned to death metal and became a pale-face... only to return to punk and ska. All the while my clothing turned out mixes of above styles, but nowadays in my line of work i need to look a bit representative... so no more pale faces or heavy make-up... But nobody touches my Hawk

Edit: I counted, and turn out to have at least 9 classical cd's... mostly wagner, bach and beathoven...
But no Bieber... never Bieber...

The tight jeans I wore in High School (mid 90's) are NOT the same as these nut-repressing "skinny jeans" of today. Sorry girls, but YES, they DO make your butt look big

Well I like 70's and 80's rock and metal, but one look at me and you'll see I'll never be able to pull either of those off
Plus, I never was one for looks...
I would probably have more classical CDs, but I generally don't have many CDs at all- maybe a dozen I actually listen to. Most of my stuff is either on youtube playlists or on one of those CDs- I'm content to repeat songs several times a day. Only classical CD I actually own is the lord of the rings soundtrack and the space marine soundtrack from the limited edition (both mostly for when I'm painting)

morning kids... papa is home...and what does he see??? a bunch of fellas talking about leggins and other legwear...

and i wont show you mine regardless if you talk/show yours...... never!!!

you will remain safe from such a ghastly event... rather will all hell freeze that i will show you all my drawers or tights ...


but in other matters i will now show you something way more nice...

a hero and something to soar the skies with...

first there is a hero... at least one half of him...(i will not glue his boltpistol wielding arm for now... this will get glued on after paint has happened... otherwise the paintjob will be more a pain(t) job... too much covered areas then... so i will paint this one later on unassembled...or rather part assembled...

here are the pics...

added cogteeth to the rim of the shiled... do you think these are undue? i am not too sure about them...also i added a new piece of heraldry to the shiled... it is a cross between wings and a "v"... what do you think?






and then a big new presentation...

my first flyer...a nod towards leonardo da vinci... for sure...and somehow a bit more archaic looking flyers of steampunky origins...

still lots to do on this one but i couldn´t keep this project any more secret... you like?









if you like it...there might be more of these in the future... with variations in pose and construction...as no steampunk vehicle is alike any other...


cheers, vik

only C&C for the shield is the teeth of the cog should be a little more spaced out, something like the same size gap between the teeth as the size of the teeth.

Love the flyer, and yeah, very archaic hang glider there, like the spines of it ^^

Holy Crap Vik! That's hellu Cool!

I want him to have a parachute too, like one of those toys you throw in the air!

thanks mate... the flyer is a true work of love for me... always wanted to do an hommage towards da vinci´s stuff... there will be more work done on that tho... exhaust pipes need some more work and then i have to think about adding some kind of weaponry... maybe i should have a small basket full of mortar shells? like in WWI where the droped these out of planes?

and i was unsure of the cogs teeth... but then they would be far less than now... you think it wouldn´t look like this:
