Thats some mighty fine work.

Ok the hard part doing the writing on the cricket pads....

I threw a bit of a wobbler when I finished Dave and this is what happened.















my intention was to leave the hobby, however I repented this is Dave today after his accident. I plan on doing cloaks and some other stuff to him too.




repairs are going well.

Dave today.

I cannot imagine the rage and frustration felt when you heard that cracking noise...
But good to see he's rising again!

Whoa, that must have been a serious wobbler.

What prompted the destruction of such a long project?

Just cracked up the mojo just disappeared, it's back now though

Amazing mate just amazing. Why don't you cast it in resin so you can make a little army of daves ! I will buy a couple for sure!

Try try again

So, I suspect "wobbler" means a little rage-fest? I finished ten assault marines the other week only to knock the door frame with the tray holding them as I came inside, dropping and breaking four of them --- I was so pissed I almost chucked the other six on the pavement for good measure.

Patience won out, thankfully.

Lol, yes i was all set to pack the hobby in, and did so for some time. I intentionally destroyed Dave in a viking like rage induced blur, Satisfying in the extreme at the time. I then posted the "exit from the hobby" pics of the rubble in a final act of closure...... but my mojo's back so "Once more unto the Breech, full steam ahead and damn the torpedoes" etc.
