Happy Birthday my friend. You came into the world crying and no able to move around much, seems appropriate that your back is hurting so you can't move around much now . Get better and get some cake, that always seems to help.

Love the color scheme, orange and blue not seen often. And was the hat intentional? I mean did you put it here for the chaos grot army idea, or just a happy coincidence? I had cake for you here.....and brownies......and ice cream. Too bad you didn't show up, guess I'll have to finish them off myself , my wife and kids might get some.

Vik, s long as the Birthday was all cool beans!

Color scheme is almost reminding me of Virginia emergency response team, odd match of that shade of yellow/orange and they use a deeper non metallic blue but it works.

Wanted to post it here as well- awesome job with that re-purposed model Vik! It's very well done and the colors simply pop off the page. If you can, put up a light box for a professional shot. That model deserves the best pics you can take.

ah... I have really looked forward to your comeback!..i hiope you don´t stay a lurker for too long old mate!!!#


and now to something else... the benefit of working on too many projects at once is that I am able to provide you with updates that never leave you bored...

speaking of...I need quick replies here mates!!!

for the doors I want a decoration that is on all four (to wings each) the same... after looking through my bitzbox...I came out with this only possible design...
do I get away with this elven design for an imperial steampunk army? devoted to the =]_= ?


as it is very recognizable as an elven icon....I have had a thought...why not make an =]_= sign myself?...
the way was long and littered with errors...

this is the only one I feel save enough about to actually show you...:

Spoiler:


now I need quick help... the one I made still looks too awkward too me...so... if you think you can help me here... and I do mean physical even... I need eight icons, all maximum of height 1.5cm to width 1cm...

I need your help here...!!! and quick...or I might go ballistic as I have modelled myself in a creative corner here and if I can´t solve that quick it might be something that this tank will be the next star of my shelf of shame...!!!

thanks for thinking with me!!!

Invert the eleven symbol. Have the long part upwards. That way it looks like a comet descending. I think in old warhammer fantasy fluff sigmar was the twin tailed comet, but your inquisitor could be he righteous fury of the emperor fallen as a comet on the heathens.

Or cut the center gem off and put a rivet there. That way it is the glowing rivet that strikes when it's hot. why am I seeing darkwing duck saying that

That works, but you don't have to cut the complex L shape, just cut the basic shapes and glue them together to make it easier.
