Don't make Me come over there and beat you with my motivating stick

Vik... distraction ray! http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/0/551408.page#6036771

hey mates... i ain´t dead...yet

and... did you know that this thread gets the most traffic whenever i am not on for a while?

well...gravens motivation stick must be pretty sore by now...

but...

a quick update... to satiate you a bit...

here are the freshest pics of the "soaring brick"







also...i have made a groupshot of what i have to one future day all to finish painting...kinda a footslogger army shot... i upload that tomorrow too...


and thanks comrade panda... i will join asap!

cheers, vik

I like that detail work on the underside.

Is that just thin strips stuck over the existing curve?
and the clear addition to the front of that is also perfect for that.

That brick is shaping up nicely Vik!

All praise Gork and Mork, he's alive.

Brilliant work. Love the plating look on the belly. And the Bombadiers canopy looks brilliant. Will there be an occupant?, or is it glued in place?

Glad to see you sir.

good to have you back vik

It's good to see your bench in a proper messy state Vik!

Looking at this vessel, I can only think of one propper name for it's captin - Kork Shoutner

Aye, that would be a fitting name for sure.
The belly is indeed only layered with thin pc. The clear plastic thingy is meant to be an engine kinda device, just like the enterprise has one at that position... Or do you recon I should use this spot for additional Dakka?

And thanks for the compliments towards my desk..I do my best..er...worst...kinda...

The round bit a the front didn't make sense until use tied Star Trek into it , I just watched an episode of DS9 last night where they go back in time to the tribble incident and the defiant has the old enterprise pulled up on the view screen. That piece will look perfect.

Now off to contemplate a tyrannies army based on tribbles , "they're so fluffyyyyyyy"

Trials and Tribble-ations is one of the most well-done time travel episodes EVER. It has a great humor to it too

Are these the lol gremlin like beeings kirk encountered too?

Yep, they are the stuffed fuzzy things that breed

So we could assume that Spielberg got mighty inspired by said episode back then


Automatically Appended Next Post:
someone mentioned a fully army shot...

well... i cant manage that... but a gathering of troops... here is what a proper to do list could consists of...:



long live catachan...the death world





and some hobbits that pack a more hefty punch than just a sting

Trial and Tribble-ations was based off one of the funnier TOS episodes, I subtitles it "Captain Kirk's Headache day"

I just love worf during the episode recounting the great crusade against the tribbles and the annihilation of their home world. Also the ending picture of quark with a tribble on his head is fantastic .

That was so long ago...can recal that only in bits.

That's quite a collection there Vik.

I thought the recounting of the tribble conquest was in the DS-9 Comic??

They were sitting around drinking, when Bashir asked why the Klingons didn't have ridges on their heads Worf said "We do not discuss that with outsiders" We just got done watcing the DVD of Into Darkness, and I must say, ridge piercings look pretty badass

When you consider the bad ass way would be to punch through the ridge bones, not just the skin over the ridges

Aye, indeed!

And the section of Kronos they go to looks a lot like the Underhive too

And there is no word in klingonese for dentist either.

What I don understand is why they try o talk around it like that but in st:tng when everyone reverts to their prehistoric versions they went even more extreme with worf instead of touching on the original series a little bit more.

They redesigned the Klingon makeup in The Wrath of Khan and it was so badass they never really changed it.

Well, actually, they ret-conned it to say the smooth forehead Klingons were an attempt to genetically produce more human like Klingons for spying. Then Enterprise had a long story line about Data's creator's father or grandfather trying to reproduce the genetic experiments that made Khan, and the Klingons funding it for super-Klingons.

Supa klingons??? Where, when, who???

Yeah..I forgot that bit in Enterprise. Nowadays though, that timeline is gone. I like how without soo many Vulcans around now, the Federation has become more Militaristic, almost Imperial-looking

All i know is the new start trek is awesome. And everything is gun ho.

Spock Prime doing that time travel in the first reboot movie explains why stuff is so effed up! he done screwed up!
