I hate not being around as much anymore, but am glad I can take a quick peek and see cool stuff still evolving from this wimsical thread, cool mausaleum, and cool tank, I agree that the left paint pattern is my favorite, but am currious what the right pattern would be like in some fancy imperial guard landspeeder

Shhh....don't disturb the space time continuum.

While you are waiting, check out this guy's Gang War minis for Necromunda.

Apparently he is printing them using a 3D printer and UV cured acrylic resin. Expensive but intriguing.

Vik,

I'm amazed that the terrain piece sold for so much. Ziterdes terrain sells for less.

That yellow Rhino surprised me since bright yellow seemed to be something that you wished to avoid.

Sorry about the Gang Wars tease but it was intriguing. I don't want his products. It is his manufacturing method that caught my attention. I think we will see more like it in future days.

That Brad camo reminds me of what I want to do with my old IG beret stormtroopers, for their winter camo. It's difficult to get straight lines on that small a figure though.

i was musing about what additional color i could go for ...the yellow is the main color and will be the main color !... blazing sons... i see what you did there^^... if you knew my sons... you are so close to the truth

bigger barrel was a must! i really can´t stand the weedy looking barrels of true scale 1:35...those definatly don´t generate a feel of authority in me^^...and what do they say about fools and money? sounds like valuable information^^

i fully see this new technology as a beginning of a new more individual looking tabletop era...definatly a gain for all of us...
the yellow rhino... well it is a pain in the rear... but for my son i needed to go a different color scheme... i tend to opt for reds and blacks for my paintings way too often... so i wanted to try something else... hopefully this will work out in the end^^

i think the camo on that storm trooper looks great... some minor glitches ..but the basic scheme is sound!... you definatly should paint soon...and more
one of these days i may be even feeling up to try some camo on troopers too...one of these days...
