Dave is like a terrain and supply magnet!

lol...yep...that is a good definition^^

Keeps stuff to put in between our crap.

I am a man of Science, I'm not normally into superstition beyond casual and/or joking, but I DO believe wholeheartedly in hobby Karma. If you give, you WILL receive, maybe not from the same person, but as a whole, or in general, what comes around goes around.

man... your gaming times feel creepy here, every time you don´t post so often....

What do you mean Vik?

post more often and i am a happy man in these parts deal?

Nice drop Dave! cast looks the goods too! even loving the church pews! didn't realise I could even get them! I'm totally going to grab some and make a shrine now!.... damn you!.... maybe in honor of you it could be a mechanicus Rivet shrine?.....

Thanks nerd!

@Vik- I'm playing BioShock atm, but I'll get back to building stuff soon enough

well...building stuff is one thing... the banter dude... the banter is missing am i making myself clear here

Well, i need good banter-munition!

what the man said!!!

Heyo guys hope all is well good to see stuff rolling on the desk enjoy the video games I too was swallowed by one for the better part of two months. I was playing The Secret World.

The only problem with playing games, is after sinking hours and days into one, I've really got nothing to show for it, it makes me look longingly at the dark, lonely hobby bench to my left. I don't miss the painting bench behind me yet though

And I realized that I forgot the vent on the side of the Sunset Sarsaparilla machine too!



Both shot from my new Nvidia Geforce GTX 660i - notice Fallout 3 only renders things to a lower standard, but FO:NV has the better detail? Interesting...
I see how FO:3 now renders a LOT more distance than I'm used to, but the textures are still how they looked on my old pc.
Fo:NV is like playing an entirely different game. Did you know if you load up all of the DLC from FO:NV Ultimate Edition, you start with a grenade launcher and a ton of stuff??


Nuka Cola is still Thumbs Up though
I am VERY VERY excited, it is causing me great, impatient anxiety waiting to see Galorn's casts of that one too!

It's all good here Bama! Bar's always open!

it makes me look longingly at the dark, lonely hobby bench to my left

that is quite promising... i see hobby work is due to happen soon enough then

and i think soon i will get me the game of the year equivalent of NV too...

and for some reason i cant really say how far i could look ingame... seems to me it was kinda endless... i know i could sniper with my hunting rifle quite good in larger distances in the end...not that you are supposed to...

In NV: with the Gun Runners DLC, you can custom build and modify the equivalent Varmint Rifle into one helluva sniper tool too! You save your shells, and you can do ammo reloading and modification too. In Hardcore mode, the ammo has weight. I haven't tried that.

I think I figured out a workaround abou the glitchy capcha system... I switched to a reg form that doesn't use it... for now anyway until I can figure out (or have a person with more expertise figure out what happened...)

That's super cool, man!

Box will be inbound in a few hours.

oh my... you are such a persuasive person

You can also dehydrate and die in hardcore mode.

There are lots of ways to die in Hardcore mode, sleep, starvation, etc.

And those damn wasps... -.-

Oh yeah, poison sucks even in regular mode, that's for sure

Yeah, in regular I can walk through a wave of bullets and shoot bandits point blank at times. But, if I'm stung by a wasp I get to walk around trying to find a cure for the next couple of minutes before dying.

my son got stung by a wasp today (no joke here)... see... RL gets invaded by games all of the time...

What amazing terrain you've created! I am inspired. Tell me, how do you paint your projects? Do you undercoat black and use an airbrush? If not, what do you do to make your Underhive stuff look so used and worn? What thickness of plasticard do you use to slot the bulkheads into? Is it very bendy? Keep up the great work!

@jmw- Thanks! I use .40" or 1mm plasticard mainly, it fits, but you still need to clip the little knobs out of the channel. I use an airbrush, and I prime/undercoat a light color for brighter paintjobs (mostly miniatures, so I can see the detail), or darker for darker paintjobs. The darkness is added by preshading with the airbrush and a combination of washes/inks, depending on the look I am wanting. Always paint things to look brand new before weathering them down to get the best results IMHO.

Dude.. im terrified of bees.. only because I have never been stung in my life so far, I've been told it dosent hurt much but still, the unknown is some scary gak

Bee stings aren't so bad, but Wasp and yellowjacket stings hurt like a mother!
