Good to hear all are none the worse for wear. And your sons are Oskar and Felix? As in the Odd Couple. Awetastic.
Yay, Mimic. But red letters? I thought the modquisition had struck. Never seem to see them in the P&M threads, come to think of it.
Brass is a bit predictable. Chrome. Go with chrome.
Also about the soccer. We'll meet again team Deutschland...and probably loose again

That's Looking great Vik, love the interior detail with the screens and everything,
plus that mounted bolter at the back was a nice touch  .
I can just imagine this thing in a high speed chase, with someone firing that thing out the back  .

Men at arms box set contains one of these sheets:
http://bitzkrieg.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Decal_BretonniaMaA.jpg
Genswick = bretonnian men at arms  so I know I have at least one sheet if you want and a second sheet that I've cut two of the castles out which I'd like to keep although I do want them along with the battle axes on that sheet, the lions and dragons you can have if you want)
The you can see the size of one of thewhite castles on my banner bearer
So they are quite small.

did that but on german ebay still nothing useful came up...but when I switched to the UK ebay there was success^^
that is helpful, that seller I found too... I am still thinking which decals would fit my needs... the lion, dragons... but as one man noodles here shows the white castle has a ton of class too...

be sure, there is no possible way that any dakka kharma can diminishing...stands to reason
I never knew that there was grail iconography in the space wolves ...that certainly sparked some interest... hmmm...maybe not for the current project... but I think this could look quite good on another tank maybe...and I do appreciate your will to risk life and to disturb all the dust while searching for these decals

the castle looks amazing wouldn´t you say?...
but what currently catches my eye is the amazingly good looking leather jacket of the captain...remarkable sculpting work again!
well mates... if you want to help me in my endeavors... you will have me in your debt... and I want you to use this...  honestly... I am dazzled by the market prices of all fantasy decals... why on earth are these so spaced out priced???
anyways...for now I tried my hand with the decals I had...and well... see for yourself...to be honest... I am not that sold on my work yet...probably wont...
well... this had me a little frustrated... so I instead let it sit there and worked some more on my poop diorama...
mimic potty... (still WIP)
and while still a bit frustrated... hobby ADHD hit me again... unable to resist inspirational forces initiated by cam´s work of the chaos feet...I begun some work on some grot tech...
squigg walker...and a not similar build ...probably gecko like walker...
I hope I could ease the pain for my longer update less time here^^...
cheers, vik

I'm sorry to hear about the RL troubles, Vik. Time heals all things, one way or the other.
I had a decal collection some time ago. Can't find any of it now :( Never use them myself. There are ways to get your own decals printed though. You could look into that if all else fails.
The walker is great. Everything is coming along very well indeed.
So is knuspergold any good?

 loving the grot walker, great idea with the whole punched plastic "waste" piece, I never thought of using it for a mesh material. Makes me cry a little when I think of how much I've thrown away. I could easily see you build an army of "grot tanks" to have a mini kan wall army for the grot rebellion.
I'm sorry to here about all the misfortune that has hit recently, but be assured were all behind you.

thanks mate, my wife even mentioned me being in a building frenzy...  I am really enjoying doing some totally different stuff for once...(actually three builds are in the oven  )
well my parents had to go eventually... after a life full of booze it is no wonder that their clocks stopped working ...really it is a rather an experience of how not to do it... and I learned quite a lot of that lesson from both of them... it is these days all the fashion to have estranged families... for my own kids I wish it would have been different... but well... now we have the chance to make a difference for the next generation...

LOL... the knuspergold is a metal box I got from a flea market... I am thus not able to tell if so or not...but since it is a storck (brand) product I expect it is, as their stuff usually is  ...
I know I could make my own decals... but then the paper is a bit pricey... and you would need to have designed a full sheet full of pics to use...which I currently never would be able to fill...
and thanks for the walker! it got a new CCW too... but more about that tomorrow!

well... I had no real contact to my parents for around ten years now...and the last real words were uttered in likewise hatred... so no real hurt here about their demise... we all went to the funerals to met old family members and re-established some family ties...who knows where this might lead to... and also because my son oskar is currently interested in death and all things connected with that theme... so watching a funeral was an education for him...
and the birthday was thankfully a rather fun event... pirate treasure hunt, many good games played...and full stomachs and cheerfulness all over...
as for the models...well... you never know how much fun greenhides have or building them can be if you never try it...

I never throw stuff away of it has a certain size to it... so the punched out "waste" always lands in the plastic bitz box...to be recycled one future day... some of this actually got used again in the toilets... there is some "flooring" in front of the thrones... like an anti- tread surface...*shudders*

also I will post some supply pics of a nice drop I got today... elder weapon stuff (for the imperial steampunk army...) some eyedropper bottled paints i got via ebay... and a cool reaper bones mini too...
soon also there will be another package arrive of a very cool ebay auction I got ... full of RT and gorka morka ork stuff for vehciles...that will be huge indeed.... the green tide will be an event!!!
