Big ol Bomb, (heh cookies to those who get the reference)

Door with gate enclosure.

**Dr H**

Been lurking here for quite a while. Very impressive model-fu you have. The latest is looking great, really like that door.

**lone dirty dog**

The Ork glyph over the Aquila is just brilliant idea and executed perfectly

I have no idea what B.O.B is from but it looks cool

**dsteingass**

The weathering on the mesh is particularly nice

**Viktor von Domm**

maybe him:

and while it looks now also good.... i must confess it hurt to see the new glyph over that awesome door!...

**dsteingass**

BlackAdder?

Thanks it's one of those "happy accidents" heh

That was the spec. the Orks just painted the glyph after the aquilla had aged a bit...

**Viktor von Domm**

**dsteingass**

The girl Bob is a recurring character is Rowan's series....

**Theophony**

I googled b.o.b. and bomb and all I got were the walking bomb guys, the ones that are just he old black ball with tennis shoes and the wind up keys on their backs.

ah yes... i remember that character... a bit shakespearean vibe with that one... talks like a girl, walks like a girl...even has boobs and all act as if she is a boy...

**dsteingass**

Yep, and she fools everyone But Blackadder We've been watching the fourth series (WW1)
Hugh Laurie is absolutely hilarious!

**Viktor von Domm**

if you already have read some shakespearean pieces you know that this kind of joke quite often happens...

but the best part of the WWI series is the war talk of the soldiers and the pilots... that is hilarious funny... i watched that once in english and i didn´t understand any word

**dsteingass**

It's all "pip-pip", "Cheerio", and other words that probably don't translate to German very well

**Galorn**

Yep it really sells it as a former institution.

Thanks they are easy as crap to do. (Laser prited signage on "normal" paper, glue to an excess MTG card, then cut and glue to project, weather... done.

**Galorn**

Got the hands finished for the Costume commission I've been working on done. now I need to do a little reshaping on the legs and then seal and paint the rest.

**Galorn**

Well I've got some more molds made up for bases, I'll do a cast and pull then photos of those after I get home from work monday. I've built an armor tree to hold the LARP costume commission while I work on it.

**drorain**

I want to thank Sam for making this, saving me so much time, and allowing me to share my vision with another artist to have them interpret it....this display board is perfect in every way, with all the bells and whistles that just make it amazing!

I'll be debuting it at NOVA with my Orky/Chaos army, glad everyone else can appreciate the level of work that Sam's put into this!

No excuse me, Got some Waghing to do...oh and a little painting prior to NOVA

**dsteingass**

He's a good guy who does good work!
