Lappets are those flaps that hang from women's bonnets, or so I was told years ago by a Mennonite. Mennonite women-- at least where I grew up-- wore bonnets of a sort, and probably still do. The Amish as well. Apparently they are also a part of the Bishop's Mitre too, according to Mr. Google.

Having seen some of Forgeworld's books, I would not expect much language proficiency, in English or in Latin, from them. They make good models. That suffices fore me.

Studded apron straps, this seems the best term for Anglophones to use, IMHO. They are studded; they are straps; they form an apron. Leave Latin to the Romans.

For keeping the small bits, hold the piece inside a box, then cut. Works for me most of the time. A hand vac and a screen work the rest of the time

Sorry to see you had to pull out of the contest. Do we need to worry about the cat?

Nah, I love my cats, sincerely. They're indoors with me all day, so are super social, and super odd. Bottle reared two, so I'm to blame.
One's a rescue who was beaten, so she doesn't seem to understand that we like her and fuss is unconditional. She's constantly amazed that we stroke and carry her, and purrs louder than the TV.
The middle one is built like a truck. Tall, square and solid. Acts like a dog, will 100% of the time come and sit when called, anywhere.
Last one is smarter than me. She solves puzzles, unlocks doors, lies to us (screams in pain to get the other two in trouble when they're sleeping), and makes up for it by being adorable.

That's the one that likes to carry things in her mouth, but will trade for better offers. She also eats and drinks with her paws like a monkey.

Well, Fuller's cloak was a little experiment with the airbrush.

For a brief second I thought you had another knife incident.

Things are Happening. Expect a very special new topic in the upcoming days.

I may get through a lot of Biostrip.

Wow thats a lot of marines, are they going to be Emperors Children?

Wow buttery thats alot of marines!

Cant wait to see what you do with them!

That’s an impressive number of marines there. Over a company’s worth.

Interested to see where you are heading.

They are not.
This is just what I've got so far. There will be 365, but after this point we're going to look at what needs buying to be useful, rather than quantity.

The scattered ones are repair or euthanasia candidates.

All second hand. All extremely variable.

Extremely. Variable.

wow um, he's bright

(I thought my Ebay plague monks were bad omg they look professional next to that poor sod!)

can't wait to see what you do with them all!

That's nothing on the scale of ludicrous messes in that army.

I just don't even know. Where's the point of no return fir these painters?

I've seen worse but usually on the assembly side. Plastic Glue is my bane in Ebay lots, Once my wife got a lot of tyranids where the arms of the genestealers were held on by tendrils of dried styrene cement. A good strip and a lot of scrubbing and they will at least be functional.

I can't help but look at this one and think someone decided, "Hey, I know what it needs: MOAR PAINT!!!"

<wince> I wish you well in your endeavors to save these lost souls!

Looks almost like a son of malice, except not because no THINNED PAINTS!

Is it me or is that tinsel, not static grass?

And surely that's this new dip method I keep hearing about!

365? Marine a day?

wow - that's some paint!! does that much paint give him an improved saving roll?!!

Modelling for advantage gone crazy

Wow. That's a BIG refurbishing project you've got there. I'll definitely stick around and see how you can do some justice for these minis.

-KK

I bet if you bite one it will have jelly filling. That glossy paint is really the candy shell of some exotic Space Marine candy.

I just imagine these backpacks make wet farting noises if I'm honest.

There is grass on his leg... Who made him?

Is there? I better send that one back to the commission studio.

No, these are all bulk lots I collected since mid 2015, I have no idea who did them or why.

I could identify at least what the orignal fig was.....right up unitl that last one.....w..t...f?

I had to strip it to find out.

It's this guy in metal with all his Admech symbols ground off.

He's also missing all of his servo arms.

That....That's......HERESY!!!!! CogGod is not a happy deity now!
