'A Tale of Four Gamers'

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Trench lines by Vlad almost finished.
Ithorial's Predator and some marines started.

[FierceKitty]

There are predators that eat Ithoriel? Has anyone warned him? I mean, I know we disagree from time to time, but live and let live, don't you know....maybe just let it have one of his legs below the knee; that way everyone will be happy.

[Ithoriel]

It's OK FK, that's Ithoriel's predator as in a predator that's mine not a predator that lives on Ithoriels. Just as well, we're thin on the ground (if not round the waist) and the poor beast would soon starve.

Touched by the concern ...  though a little concerned for my calves and feet now

[Techno]

After yesterday's seemingly continuous interruptions*....PLEASE let me finish the bloomin' Aztecs today !

* Vet's visit for wee pony....(Though that didn't affect me as such....) Chasing and sorting out X-Rays from the vets DID.
Umpteen extra phone calls.
Calling the puppy away from the remaining sheep.
Moving the sheep into a field where the puppy CAN'T get in and chase them. (The sheep played silly B's while we were doing this.  )
Changing the gate to that field, 'cos the two big horses had wrecked it.
Drilling through an upright 'hinge bar', to 'pin' the new gate firmly into place, so the horses couldn't lift it off again, by scratching their arses. (Backwards and forwards to the pole barn to get different drill bits......I snapped two of those.)

Go and collect car from the garage after its MOT......At least it passed. That was about the only positive thing, yesterday.

I want a QUIET day, today !!!!!

Cheers - Mr Cream Crackered. 

[FierceKitty]

All right, you may finish them.

My yoke is easy, my burden light.

Aw Techno! You're having a bit of a time of it at the moment.

Of course, you could always move to the middle of a town and be done with it all!

More time for putty pushing.




But I'll bet your sunsets are glorious. 

[Techno]

But I'll bet your sunsets are glorious. 

Some are, Nobby......The sunrises can be even more so.

I must dig out the photo of the one I took, that got used on the local weather forecast.
Looked like Mordor was on the other side of the hill, opposite us. 

But I AM having a relatively quiet day....Which is a relief.

Cheers - Phil

[Techno]

....And I think I've now finished the Aztecs.
(The figures, at least.)

Cheers - Phil

Tiger, Panther, a Universal carrier MG and a Wasp all assembled and needing a dry day to undercoat.

At some stage I must get around to finishing my portfolio for Uni 

The above all undercoated today. 

Assembled a 150mm Howitzer, a 75mm IG, the British support options including a 6pdr, a Vickers and a mortar plus some engineers, and the FJR support options and HQ units - all will be ready for undercoating tomorrow assuming the weathers reasonable. 

Last up are the British Infantry and the FJR Anti-tank and artillery support groups including Kettenkrad tows which I will try to get assembled tomorrow ready for undercoating on Friday. 

I even managed to find a few hours to make a start on my Uni portfolio and even sat and watched Zombieland with my daughter. Swooning over Emma Stone 

Productive day. Gotta love having 9 days off at the end of a tough rotation

....And I think I've now finished the Aztecs.

Thank the Dark Lord's Unsightly Blemish for that!

So back to the real world for your next project (he asked hopefully)?

[Techno]

I think Leon will want me to finish off a handful of 'odds & sods' first, Nobby........But getting closer and closer. (i.e VERY soon).

Cheers - Phil

[fsn]

Aw c'mon!!!!  Do you know how long I've had a squadron of Centurions waiting to go on a table?

[Leman]

A mounted Roman officer unit. Now there's a novelty.

Who trod on the Kat's tail, it's making 'orrible noises......

My labours this week. More US for CoC and BA

[Leman]

Now sorting out my Warfare order. Looks like it's going to be a few packs of WWI Belgians and Germans, plus some scenic items. Wonder if the dismounted uhlans will be available by then?

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Finished some terrain tonight, four stands of epic marines and a predator tank.

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Only three bases of 1:1200 galleys left to milliputt.

[Steve J]

Primed some blocks of acrylic as part of a mini-project to help playtest a variety of rules using one base size.

In the last month or so...

- based a load of 28mm Musketeers & Red Guard
- started to assemble figures from Infinity Operation Red Veil - fiddly, fiddly.
- started to assemble Warmachine Mercs & Cryx - on hold until I can get some dinky magnets to swap arms etc round
- finished assembling 10mm Pendraken Tomb Kings army for Warband / Warmaster
- painted 1/3000 WW1 Naval Russian & Turkish fleets
- assembled 2mm British army for Blucher; onto Prussians & Russians but need a few more bits & pieces
- grabbed a load more of my games stuff from ex's house (still more to collect - particularly all my 2mm stuff, 6mm scifi and 28mm ultramoderns)
- planned out re-doing my Chinese Dawn campaign (from 6mm to 3mm)
- started painting my 28mm Russians for Winter War and then got bored of them...need to finish...
- prepped 10mm Pendraken Napoleonic Bavarians

I've been reading a load of rules too... and planning new projects. Always planning new projects

Oh - and working too hard as well. Vastly over-rated.
