Yeah Dave, walking the 9% steep incline is nuts

That's generally too steep for a steam engine too

Well, if I walk down a bit, I get my toes crushed into the shoe toes, uphill, i sound like a steam engine,,,,,Huffa-puffa, Huffa-puffa

Riding down hills is fun..going back up..not so much

Leash +dog + hill= no problem, if its okay for Eskimos, why not for Ohioans ( spellcheck says that's correct).

Haha we prefer the term "Buckeyes", but now I'm a Hoosier, and no one remembers what Hoosier means anymore.

I do... gotta love civil war reenacting...

Aren't Hoosiers awesome drag slicks?

Yes Nerd, yes they are
They look really cool with their white lettering too

Damn straight they look cool! 'specially on tough utes like that! :-)

Hmmm when it comes to the word Hoosier, only 1 image comes to mind. Grandma style free throws.:p

er...not to interrupt on something here I hope...

yesterday was fathers day here... and my son felix... he went to my mini drawer...that sneaky son^^ and he made me a paperhammer stormtrooper...and as GW cuts all their ranges that everybody loves and so on and as we will probably never get any plastic stormtroopers in our life time...

so I thought I will share this to you mister... here is your paper hammer substitute stormtrooper... comes with backpack and classic slotta base




cheers, vik

Haha! That's great! What a creative son you've got there! Be proud Papa!

I am... I am too the bone!!!

on Monday he will go to his very fist class trip... man... I got a teary and a happy eye...

he to, mind you... he is all wound up for the coming trip...

I dunno how he came up with that idea in the first place... we never spoke about such a way to make models and I didn´t even knew he knew about that model either... that kid got some crazy creative ways for sure

He wantd to make something for you you'd like..what does daddy like Lets go to his minis and see!

exactly...! lol... kids logic can be so strange and strict in one tight package^^

Here's one of the Plastic Goliaths from Theo's trade goods.

Goliaths always were beefy looking

Vat-grown muscle and such

Haha, glad you got the package. He looks top notch as well. Guess it was a Father's Day gift from another father.

Yep! Thanks! My Tartan-pattern punk rocker pants didn't come out as well as I'd hoped, but oh well

He looks awesome, The "pants" look cool. You could try making the white a light green or yellow and it would tone them in a bit better, but they look awesome to me.

Oh and Vik that is so cool. Got 3 kids here and they do the most awesome stuff sometimes. Break your heart most of the time, mind you.

Thanks Cam! Perhaps on a future one I'll try different colored stripes, really the pattern is too small at this scale, but it's worth a try
Or maybe the angle was all wrong?
research first, paint second

had to relook those tartan trousers... quite good looking... but as I have a view of these myself...I never came around painting up these for all the beefiness of them... anyone seen any good conversions done with them? something I could do to cover up those nipples and so on?

They are big enough to do any sort of conversions I'd think. You could add chains and other piercings easily enough, headswaps would be difficult though, other than Ork Heads. Tattoos is another idea.

er...defiantly no piercings... in fact clothing them would be a way of thinking I am in favour of

Well, that would be un-fluffy methinks, The Goliaths value strength above all else, so would naturally show it off

Torn hulk hogan t shirts would be okay I guess. They'd at least cover the nipples. Your such a prude vik

String vest?!!

Could just thicken the leather strap to cover the nipples, make it is some kind of emblem or design even.

I have converted one of these some where I will see if I can take a picture of it if you want ? but it still has nipples sorry Vik
