Thanks guys! Her Belly is now shaded and re-touched up now too, Just painted and attached the landing gear wheels. I had grey paint spill out the back of my color cup due to a dumbass jerky hand move on my part. it spilled into the trigger area. SO I tore the airbrush down and fully cleaned it. I had a heart-attack moment when my tiny brass nozzle fell into the garbage can. luckily I found It stuck to my discarded masking tape

I'm a painter, and Scotch Blue is my tape

Looking great Dave, the VTOL is sweet, are you doing more weathering.

lol...that is a nice story only life can tell...
and regardless of such mishaps... you create small wonder nevertheless...

Thanks!
Yep, the FINAL coat of future is now drying over top and bottom, ready for weathering. Cockpit and pilot need painted still too.
My blog is as exciting as watching paint dry lately

had that happening before... then i restarted the machine and now everything seems to be back again....

The League Logo never expires!

I redid it from the list of Leaguers

Looking good Dave. Here's to weathering.

Also, just noticed that the rear landing gear could get awfully hot with improper usage... I assume they would have to be linked with the VTOL system.

I would assume so! I ordered the Sourcebook from http://www.dustgame.com/index.php
along with a bunch of decals.
And now I really want to build one of these!

Or maybe an Aircraft Carrier!

uuuuiiiii.... i can so fully understand this...
whenever i see the opening sequence of saving private ryan... i flinch before the courage of those men...sitting/standing in their group caskets...

Heaven forbid Dave actually gets into "Bolt Action", and realizes that it is all 1:48th scale stuff he can readily get from his 'fixer'.

hmm... but isn´t all that 1:35 and 1:48 scale stuff pretty expensive when it comes down to tiny soldiers? the tanks and planes... ok... but troops...ohoh...

Compared to GW prices? Not hardly.

hmmm.... hmmmm....indeed^^

I bought the Bolt Action rules last year at GenCon

They are a slight bit smaller looking than GW IG but a friend made his IG out of the German box sets

Yep, and that US Halftrack I built a few months ago was Bolt Action too. I have quite a few sprues of US and German figs in the scale.

Dave, sorry for an offtopic, but one of russian shops I'm subbed to just released this, and somehow the first thing I thought about was your awesome terrain projects




If you're intrested I'll PM a direct mail for ya as the site is in russian =/

oh.....they´re beautiful!

They are great! Better yet, can you translate for me, how much? I'd appreciate it, thanks Storag! I think the new future of the Miniatures industry is in Russia, so much cool coming from there lately!

You're welcome Dave They are around 3,5-4$ per set.

His mail is at your inbox.

I googled and translated the site to see what he had, and he has statues! The kind that would help me make the one project that is merely a drawing, the shrine tank!

Cool! Thanks Storag!
I e-mailed him already!

I've got slightly more than pictures of paint-drying today

Pilot and engine looks great dave was he saluting when you bought the set?

Yeah, I thought he was giving his imaginary (future purchases) wingmen hand signals

While strolling along the Internet last night I found another website with dust tactics/warfare stuff Dave, just about the same price as miniature market.com, its texastoysoldieronline.com. They advertise here on dakkadakka, and seem to be a little cheaper than mm, flat 4.95 shipping from what I saw too , also found a store in Illinois that has great discount as well, it's a half hour drive for me, but I can order here, drive and pick up there and no sales tax , so even cheaper for me than mm.

I'm hoping to find a pile at Gencon, otherwise mail order is my only option, no one locally sells/plays it.

Sorry Storag to out do you mate but I think this will be of more interest Dave http://keeblerstudios.com/?product=cathedral-window-mold why buy bits when you can make loads of them

I was thinking of getting them myself

hey dave... i just had a look at that russian site... and it is littered with awesome stuff... i think russians don´t advertise enough... such great talent!!!

your pilot looks really cool... love the life jacket on him, the yellow again makes the whole model to greatness!
