Vik, I had used him also, but the problem came when I was trying to build my marine chapter. I emailed him asking how many of a certain bit he had, we arranged for me to buy them all. Payment made, parts sent, but missing some and other parts put in place of them. I contacted him, he fixed it at his expense, but it struck me funny that I had bought all his bits but he had extras to replace them....hmmm! I placed an order a week or so later to get another item, he shipped them in a plain white envelope, which was mangled by the post office and all that was delivered was a shredded envelope, I contacted him, no reply, but replacements came. Figured he was decent because he fixed the problem, but when I tried to order again I found I was blocked from ordering. I can't even send him a message because he has me blocked. I'd love to order bits from him, but since he doesn't even talk to me or have an open channel I can't get through. I thought about creating another eBay account, for my kids, but figured that might be unethical. What do you think?

I know he has a great reputation, but he blocks everyone who gives him less than five stars. I've heard other people with similar stories, so I figure his 1% negative is just washed by the constant good marks.

The light will stay as that's the strobing police light when in pursuit.

ok... check... the light has to stay^^

and well... i didn´t knew ebay and their sellers could block a customer...??? wtf? what kind of business is that? the world isn´t really that big as to only accept docile customers??? i have learned to work as a salesman and have studiied business administration... and never would i have guessed such a behavior... you learn something new each day in the webways it seems....

and as for ethics... stuff ethics on this one... make one for your missus, one for your granny and your kids... one for your neighbor... heck...get the stuff you want/need and do whats necessary...

**Theophony**

Yeah vik, fight the system.
I made an account or my son, haven't tried it yet since Dave might have the bits. Started looking around their thread, but didnt see anything else I wanted

that's usually how it goes

but now there's another option available

.

There are no ethics on the Internet. Or at least one that I've seen.

The devil my try, my boss has a big whooping stick with three nails in it that he has saved up for when the time is right

**Dr H**

I like where the unicycle is going. Won't it be a bit small for a bike base though?

lol... now i would like to hear a sing song about that in a church...! i bet a church that would come up with the good old "He stomps the unrightful and so on..." would see more followers

as for ethics on the web... i try to tend to be respectful... to a certain point...if all is lost... then the kids gloves are off

They are not as long as bikes, but wider and taller. I could use them as assault marines, but how do I explain the twin bolters and no c.c.w.?

**Ruglud**

Theo, loving your updates and the speed of them. Great humour going on with the builds. I've missed quite a bit over the last week - damn business trip.

As for ebay - yeah, just create more accounts. I have several on the go, although can get hard to remember all the login details!

Oh, it's slightly bigger than I thought then.
Makes sense to keep them as bikes, and for that, those are the bases to use.
Just going to have a lot of base to do something with.

**dsteingass**

I can send them to ya no problem Theo! I just need to pick up some more Priority mail boxes for you and Shas

**Ruglud**

Theo, I guess you've seen this already, but seems to be a perfect fit for your servitor vehicle...

Some new models available from http://www.miniaturescenery.com/.

First up, The Heavy Multi-Purpose Transport 1 (HuMPT1)

and the first in our line of Street Scenery:

Laser cut 3mm MDF.

Please feel free to ask stuff!

**dsteingass**

They made a Nuka Cola machine from MDF!! Finally, a company copied my idea!! AND a Marcus Munitions machine!

**Theophony**

@Dr. H,

forgot to mention the initial guy was temporarily on a 40mm base, so he is big, I'll try and post a picture next to a marine or ganger later.
@ruglud, yeah I saw them this morning, I want to make some dumpsters now

@dave, as always, thanks

, you should send a c&d to them showing your vending machine

it would be very GW of you

Just back from the store, this supply drop was in the form of donuts. My kids had the same friend stay for the second night in a row. I didn't feel like cooking again, so they will have to suffer

**dsteingass**

I could suffer with a Dunkin Donuts drop myself

**Theophony**

Quick shot of size comparison with a marine, also now on a cavalry base.

Should I keep them on a 40mm base and use them as terminators? The storm bolters are on there already, and the power weapon could be them ramming into the opponent. Yes it has possibilities

Also you'll see I have two motors tacked onto this guy, not sure if I'll go with the two or cut down to one that is more centered on the back.

**dsteingass**

Why not just give them buzz-saws on mechanical tendrils for CCW??

Very good idea, wish I had though of it.
Well the donuts were good, watching stng while the kids were still asleep, and got to finish #2 up to same level. This one has the alternate base on it, so I think it will be the commander of the squad. I put some missiles on him with poster tack just to see options for the heavy weapons. Do you like them mounted up or down?

Will consider my weapon options for close combat, need alternates for power fist, power sword, chain fist.

**Dr H**

Excessive weaponry on small platforms is always a win. I would say up, as it leaves better clearance for fast cornering.

**Theophony**

I like the missiles up myself also, nothing like saying unbalanced and 40k vehicle.

**shasolenzabi**

Nice work Theo, and no worries Dave, once I can has monies incoming I will stillo stand by Rivetzone's Nuka-machines

**Theophony**

First attempt at a power fist/taser stick

Attached by putty, engines mounted where they will go.

**shasolenzabi**

Engines on the back?

**dsteingass**

I like the zzapers !

**nerdfest09**

Power sticks!? how original! :-) mind you even if they weren't charged if something motorized rushed you with a whopping big rod coming out the front of it...... you'd think you were in my thread!

**Dr H**

Add some (correction; lots) of cables and then some valves / capacitors / electronic gubbins and those cattle-prods are good to go.

and lol at SlaaNerdfest...

**Theophony**

@shaso, engine on he back drives the roller which turns the wheel. The mechanicus doesn't make anything simple.
@dave, cattle prods to move the herds of civilians

, shows hat the imperium thinks of the citizens.
@nerdfest, if only I could paint as good as you. One of my friends growing up had a police officer character in a heroes game that wore all pink an had a pink police car. I can still hear his lisp saying "pull ova' , pull ova'" right before the shooting started.
@Dr. H, it might get on wire on it, but you are the master of the powerlines and circuitry, so I'll leave that to you.

**dsteingass**

btw Theo, I'll be seeing Neil from theWarStore at GenCon, he builds a camo net tent in the dealer hall, full of product. need anything?

**Dr H**

Why thank you.
But cables are easy, roll a really long, thin, sausage of your chosen two-part epoxy putty, attach one end to where it should be and drape along surfaces / attachment points until you reach the other end. Let gravity do the hard work for you in giving a natural hanging cable look (Shh Nerdfest

).

Or, use real wires and glue them on...

**Theophony**

I'll give him a call, thanks though. Congratulate him on his new brick and mortar store, the pics of it look great.
