Hi, I am impressed sir. Glorious castle. Love the work.

usually i am a purist when it comes to my favorite movies... but that lego vid i must say toped even the original...!

Here's some Lego joy for Dave and Vik - scroll down and you'll see what I mean...

As for the other castles in MP&THG, there was Doune Castle & Castle Stalker

this again raised a question... would i model cheaper all things concerned when i would work with lego instead of GW and plasticcard??? now that is a tough one...^^...cool find ruglud!

Very cool! The 1986 elements..memories!

At the outdoor theatre in forest park they are doing the musical version of "Monty pythons holy grail" my wife asked me if I wanted to go, but I don't think it would be nothing close to the original. Besides its a formal affair because the music is performed by the saint Louis symphony.

Not Spamalot then? Heard that is pretty good, one of these days I'll go and see it... Can't really imagine a formal rendition of Holy Grail though... It could unintentionally be hilarious

I guess it could have been spamalot, didn't really check into it. I can't get dressed p for Monty python, at least not in a suit, as. Peasant or a knight yes, as a stick in the mud....Ni.

So much rock, that isnt rivets. And fire! FLAMES EVERYWHERE. seems like i been missing out.

I just gotta say - I made the Front page !! YAY ME

well...they showed your hellboy... how could anyone refuse that? eh? almost like cheating

or to put it another way...congratz!

That reminds me, I still need to finish Hellboy, and pretty much everything else I've started...

lol.... so this staring at the frontpage thing then actually was supposed to be a gibbs slapp of some sort?

I don't know what is going on. More dakka. Congratz on the front page.

I need motivation !! I'm lacking hobby mojo at the moment

So been seeing people's amazing workspaces and thought I'd share mine - a couple shelves in a cupboard plus the top of said cupboard... All moved back and forth to the family dining table... One day I will have a man cave, one day

I see the thunderhawk located a reading of "Polly Pockets" and took a nosedive, seems the marines either still have the drive if not the equipment, or they went to purge the unclean.

Haha, yeah... Marines like Polly - especially the magnetised ones

Oh and just noticed the 'Hawk is getting jiggy with the Play-Doh ... Nice

While sorting the 'hobby space' I found part of my 25/28mm WW2 collection safety stored inn the Wii box - it has two perfectly sized trays for figures, the second tray holds my Wild West figures (previously shown in this thread). The WW2 collection is mostly Wargames Foundry and Bolt Action (pre Warlords buyout). Might also be some Westwind 'Berlin or Bust' in there somewhere.

That's an impressive pile of lead there! Are those resin terrain pieces?

The Panzerschrek cases are metal, but the rest is resin.

The large walls were from BAM, not sure if they still have them now though under the Warlords banner. Not sure about the rest - there's a mix of 20mm scale terrain in there, but it still works with the larger scale.

Still got loads of US marines in a box somewhere as well...

oh.... I couldn´t live lest work in such confined places... I admit I am a rather messy artist here... and forgetful too... sometimes I really crawl through my bitzboxes...to have it all just in one tiny place... the horror... hope my wife never sees how other peeps make do with so little...

also... good looking bunch of wehrmacht guys^^

Well, I will admit to having boxes in the garage full of models and my WD collection, as well as my 8'x4' games table, terrain boards, scenery and games like Necromunda is stored out there. Also have another cupboard in the kitchen with more figures and terrain making stuff and we have a box room, which is home to Space Hulk (2009 edition), AoBR, various rulebooks, most of my surviving Wargames Illustrated collection and WW2 reference books. So I'm spread out, just don't have a place to call home yet... Maybe I need to build an annex on the castle !

Those Wehrmacht are good lads, seen off several raids by those damn pesky British Commandos...

Your yard isn't done yet right? it should be easy peasy to run water, sewer, power, and cat5 out to the castle annex! lol

It's all fun and games until the gators in the moat eat you

Attach friggin lasers to their heads!

But then where will the rocket launchers go? I guess you have a point though, cause everyone deserves a warm meal.

Silly Theo...Gators arms are too short to reload rocket launchers

Pfft, what sort of world do you live in where one must reload? Must be a sad place where zombies rule

Sharks or Gators... Don't think I have any of them round these shores, but Sea Bass...

Just need to find some frickin lasers to go on my mutated and ill tempered Sea Bass...

Bought myself a couple of German 8.8cm Flak 37 guns on Friday morning, they arrived in the post this morning



Plan is to use these for a WW2 game involving a British commado raid on German wehrmacht bunkers. Was tempted by the Bolt Action 88mm but at £25 a pop it was too pricey considering I needed to get two of them, then found this 1:48 kit on ebay for £8 each... Going to enjoy making these as haven't done a historical kit for quite a while...

Sweet deal and sweet models.
