lol I never noticed the angry progression of the faces! but yep, that's exactly what it looks like! which brass bits do you mean? the bright copper bits or the more bronze/gold bits? I'm happy to help

I was referring to the pauldrons rims.

Pauldron trims are tin bitz and gold mixed together and highlighted with gold and that's it :-)

They don't make tin bitz anymore do they?

Vallejo Game Color Tinny Tin is the equivalent.

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!


Hope it's a good one for all in 2014! I'll do my part and try and spread as much cheer as I can!

and to kick it off in Nerdville, I'm going to now list my projects you will see this year, I am going to plan my months out and try to not veer so off course as much still a lot of models to paint and still from a variety of factions so enough to keep almost everyone amused at some stage!

I have to do this the year of 2014!:

Death Company Drop Pod
Death Company Rhino
Death Company troops

Storm Raven Gunship
Aegis defence line

finish these mostly primed models:
Razorback
Rhino
Rhino
Predator
Baal Predator
Autocannon Dreadnought

10 Man Sternguard squad
5 Man Vanguard squad

20 Tactical marines

Counts as: Dante,Tycho,Lemartes, Librarians

Sanguinary priest in Termie armour, Sang Priest w/jumpack, sang priest in PA re do!

Orks of various ilk!

Commissions for friends!

Zone Mortalis!


I think that's it I'll have to have a look when I'm at home and make sure that's all, but that's what i really want to finish this year, of course they'll be the random model or squad you didn't see coming

That's quite the line-up Damo. Going to be really fun watching you have it it!

Happy New Year!

Does seem like a meaty list. But then it does seem like things move pretty quick here too. Good luck, will definitely hang around to watch

Happy new year indeed!

I feel that you are obligated to do at least on IG kit, to keep that army "alive".

You are so right! I forgot I had my IG tanks looking at me like "please sir can you molest me with your brush?" so i will!.... ad them to the list Alfred!

Happy new year

Thats a lot of red and black planned for next year Damo, apart from the Orks that is, have you decided on a clan (or is it tribe) yet?

sounds good d...happy new year.

Merry Xm.... ..... .... Erh Happy Nerd Year !

Wishing you health, mostly, AND the time you need to get all that stuff done !

Happy new year bud, hope this year is a good one,.

Thanks guys! I am positive this year will be awesome! I don't think I will get everything painted but I plan on attacking that lot and seeing how I go it will be a happy Nerd year

You guys remember those old alien toys you put in a glass of water and they grow massive overnight right? well, I accidentally dropped a space marine helmet in my paint water last week! didn't think a thing of it until......









Great! so now I need to find another water glass for my painting! Oh man will the indecency never end!

A definite improvement!

^ Cheeky bugger! :-)

Hot damn that is a cool helmet? Where'd ya get it? Going to be Flesh Eaters colors?

Yep Fleshies all the way Whaley! :-) I got it off Etsy ages ago and it just arrived recently, it was bought sort of as a Christmas 'allowance' from Nerwench!

"Etsy"??

It's like ebay for stuff that people make themselves! kinda cool but also a lot of sequins etc.....

Its like a craft show but on the internet. Find all kinds of things.

What the living gak holy feth I need one right fething now nerdysort it nerdy sort it nerdy sort it :-P

Ah thanks. I'll keep an eye out for it.

Shouldn't that just be "all the Whaley"?

Seriously cool helmet though. Whats it made of?
Also got a link to the etsy page?

Looks like yet another surprisingly good showing by plastic soda bottle caps. Those things can look good in random places. Nice helmet, something more to add to the pile huh?

I may have to do a "things I want to get done" over on my blog too, though I'll have to be conservative or disappointed

Wow... they're asking craft show prices too...


Did you see this damo?

Oooh no Gits i didn't see that!..... until now! there's a few hidden gems on there if you sift through the dodgy stuff! that's damn cool! the next thing I want from there is a large blueprint image of the Bolter!

I have that same nerf gun. Been meaning to put some rc car batteries in if for increased shootisity.

Just be careful of the voltage.
That's a very quick way to burn out the wiring and motors if you're not replacing them / not careful.
The best / funniest thing to do witha Vulcan is get an 18V drill, replace the handgrip on the Vulcan with the drills handgrip (and the 18V power pack!), replace the motor in the thing with the 18V drill, and wire it all up.
Hilarity ensues.

I want to get the new White version myself. (To go with the Gloss Black one I already have)

Nice helmet Nerd.

Happy new Year.
Look forward to seeing you attack that list.
