Well on the upside I've spent all day on the phone, and due to a time-waster pulling out I have booked a new wee boy henceforth to be called Angus, the breeders kids named him Mr Tubbington, so you should have an idea of his pysique, collecting him him on Sunday.

Here he is just after his first bath.

No Probz GY... I wasn't offended, spelling ain't my strong point but I'm really funny, a nice bloke and I run a decent company, so I have different pros. Didn't want pity, just pointing out that that ain't one of the things I'm good at.

Sorry bout the pup, when I first got Toby (my choc lab) I was told by the vet that he had problems with his feet (both his back legs pointed inwards) some type of mussel defect, I remember (and still feel guilty for it now) my wife said I should hug him but I couldn't even look at him, literally, I felt so ill, I'm not the type to cry so I knew I couldn't face the tiny cute guy knowing he was in trouble and I couldn't afford to look after him,  that same week he got very very ill, lost 50% waight and serious diarrhea, he picked up. We took him back to the vets a week after and he said he thought he would be dead but somehow he got better put on 100% waight and his legs straightened, 1.5 yrs on and he is spot on, but to go through that, as you are mate. I'm sorry.

But the tiny fluff ball in your photo, he is just asking for a cuddle!

Here is a recent pic of Toby....


Oh and people who game with me and think I'm a softy.... Mebs I'm just puttin it on, to lure you into a false seance of security? (Ner I am 6ft, broad, 17st, tradesman, but I do love a cuddle with my dog!)

A wise man once said Vulp that "children were for people that couldn't have dogs", I've had both and I think you know which I prefer.

From chatting to Angus's breeder, I think I'm gonna have to get him a 95th Rifles uniform, "first on the dinner plate, and the last to leave!"

here's a recent one of Poppy the 18 month old bitch

Sounds like Tob's! He has never ever refused food.

He once got hold of my sherbet dip (yeah, a 27yr old can eat a sherbet dip!) he was after the lolly (and he ate it) but the whole living room, hall and kitchen was covered in white power!

That reminds me, fun trick, wait for your dog to get under a tree coverd in snow and shake it...

that could have been embarrasing if the police had come round.

"Honest its only sherbet!"

"Pull the other one mushy, you're nicked."

Id blame Toby, "look officer, he's coverd in the stuff" and to be fair, Toby has that criminal mastermind look about him. You know that, he looks so daft he must be smart.

How cute you two are.  :D

Like two little boys that reconcile by showing each other their toys.

Looks good Vulpine. There's a good feeling of coldness and the overall muted tones work well to achieve this. You are a brave man going for SOB - it's going to be wallet bustingly expensive! Having said that - there's something very appealing about an army of Debby Harry lookalikes  :)

Thanks matey!

Well, a second hand unit on Ebay is £15-20 (inc Hev, Sp and Superior) even if you pay £25 that's still cheaper than Space Marine Tac squad. I'm looking for very cheap and badly painted units. As a Decoroator I know how to delicately remove the paint. That could save me some cash. 50pts a basic squad and are a scoring unit. Finally, I will want a Russ as SOB lack some heavy fire power so to 'acquire' that would be good.

Finally, I've converted some guardsmen using the Chasos Cultists. I want them to look like poor locals that the SOB have drafted. This is a really cheap way of bulking out the army (cash and points wise) Cultists are under £9 on eBay still on the spru.

You know how to get paint off plastics without damaging them V ?
I think you should share. ;)

Cheers - Phil.

soaking in dettol or fairy power spray seem to be the paint solvents of choice out there in GW land. I haven't had cause to try them myself yet.

" I want them to look like poor locals that the SOB have drafted"

There's something disturbingly appealing about being forced to obey the SOB @-)

That last one really doesn't like his kneecaps. Or at least he'll soon learn if he tries to use that flail type thing!

Stripping paint off metal: Nitromorse, it's amazing stuff. Designed to work on wood or metals without damaging. Models come out as new, just dip or paint on and scrub off with a tooth bush. (Be carful of skin and your eyes)

Plastic: Usually a bin job. But oven cleaner does it, same process as above, it won't come off that clean but the thick will and then you can re paint.
