I pay half for blood not double. Take your highway robbery else where.

Theo, for someone that goes to church willingly and regularly, I'm surprised by some of the things you come out with...
May I prescribe more bible study and less NF study.
But then again, does painting your local church give you a free pass into heaven? If so, it's a shame that my local is made of stone...

I'm afraid however, that I've not cut myself deep enough (while modelling) to really distribute my blood over a wide area.
And it's only while I'm working on the sprue concepts that I have been cutting myself, and only twice during the making of these box pieces have I drawn blood. But it only flows with pressure on my thumb, not freely as you may hope...

If for some reason I do get my blood on some of my casts for distribution, I'll let you know and you can fight/bid to acquire them...

In actual news, I've been painting for my commission blog and I am working on the tops / bottoms of the boxes.

Dr. H Lol about Theo! A man of faith that goes Chaos is Wordbearers material!!

oh you actually cut yourself.. invest in chain mail gloves.

I've actually heard about the Wordbearers, that makes a change.

Comrade: Only when I've been lazy and not wrapped up my thumb, so it's my own fault. Just the usual very sharp scalpel blade meets thumb. Most of the time I just create a pattern of fine lines on my thumb, occasionally it goes a little deeper... *shrugs* occupational hazard.

Blood for the blood god!

No where in the Bible does it say we can't have humor . God loves humor, not as much love for sarcasm though. All tickets to heaven are free by the way, Jesus paid the price for them, you just have to accept it. Most of my humor is a release of tension, or just to see if people read my posts, i do a similar thing with my kids. When I'm correcting them and they seam to not be paying attention I'll slip a totally different conversation in there to see if they react. Sometimes they surprise me and are paying attention, other times....well at least I humor myself with the tangent story .

I might bid for some original gore-covered sculpts! Probly would build a display case for them.

I do this as well I would be explaining or saying something and feel like the person is not listing, so I begin talking total crap about alien invasions or throwing in random words, it's amazing how quickly someone turns around and goes "WHAT !!!!!"

Although the misses has got used to it now she just lets me jibber on for a few mins then goes your just talking crap again …………. mind you she said that a lot before

Nowt wrong with a bit of humour. But that's a shame, I'm quite the sarcastic one... Still, you have to laugh.

That was an important lesson I learnt when I was young; always keep an ear on what the adult was saying, often saved a lot of bother.

I often start adding in random and silly things once someone has glazed over while I'm talking science.

The thing I worry about with tossing random stuff out there is that I might be training my brain to do it on its own. Then later in life my brain might override what I really want to say, then I'll just be that crazy old coot everyone points at and crosses the busy street to avoid .

I know what you mean.
I've always had quite a random mind and have had to suppress my crazy-talk on occasion, usually when meeting new people if you know what I mean...
I would be a perfect rich eccentric, I just need to be rich...

Haha... dr.. a dr needs to be rich, that is rich! good old jokes, never feel poor when they happen because happiness is worth a fortune.

This Dr doesn't have a job and the Masters degree and PhD haven't helped me get one so far...

and there's a difference between being rich and being rich enough to be eccentric.

The boxes now have lids...well the concept boxes now have concept lids.
The next stage (once this stuff arrives from china) will hopefully make them all fit together better.

With that done, I will return to the toilets tomorrow.

Dang, come to America, you would get all the jobs.. of course currency change and medical changes,but eh you could play with miniatures with me.


nice boxes. You have me wanting to throw much money your way.

Yeah, the dollar to pound may seem a let down, and they are still hammering over the healthcare issues, but well, it is hard to make changes here, but you might find a job, many a PhD are flipping burgers to survive. But a chemist is likely to get a job with some company, just avoid Monsanto, please.

No he should work for Monsanto at their corporate HQ here in saint Louis. It would be fun, then I wouldn't have to clone him. I could just chain him up in the basement. Really, it saves me a whole lot of steps in my plans for sprue domination .

Someone... quickly.. find a way to get theo locked up. Or Theo invite me over for second in command.

Monsanto would suck his soul out, his tasty, so tasty soul!

But soulless minions work extra hard. They think that their bosses will be pleased, and will give them raises. Me I'll just give him an extra ration and maybe if he's extra good a new knife blade to carve sprue.

Second in command must be a ruthless, cunning and for my own safety not have any desire to advance in the ranks . Applications for #2 (hehe I said #2) are taken daily between 8:15 a.m. And 3:15p.m. Central standard time. I am not an equal opportunity employer. But membership to the league of extraordinary riveters is a plus .

Definitely not asking for work from Theo! LOL!

lol. er...thanks guys
I'll probably just start by looking harder for a job here to start with. But I'll keep your offers in mind if I continue to struggle to get a job...

Nothing to show here yet, I'm afraid.
But I have nearly finished the Terminator commission and then I'll blitz the Eldar pair for here. So pretties, soon

excellent

Nice work!

Ta and thanks for your patience.

Now that I've finished the Terminators over in the commission blog, I can get back on track with things over here.

I have something to whet your appetite and show that things are happening.
So, can you tell where this is going?


Until later...

he even uses sprue to paint on...will the endless uses of sprue never cease to amaze??

looking good...nice boney color!

Dr. H has proven to be the sprue master!

Ha, yeah I don't often attach models to sprue to paint (blu-tacked to the base usually suffices for me) but this chap kept falling over so I stuck him down to a random piece I had laying about and with the side piece it stands up by itself. Which was nice.

He's only partly done and will be lighter when I've finished with him.
