I have no unpainted figures at present! :o
You need to buy some more figures immediately FK. Its a matter of survival.

LEON - QUICK SEND HIM A RANDOM FIGURE! :o
The Reaper has only one fiddle string, I see. The danse macabre must be duller than we recognise.
You could always play with the ones you have. :)
Maybe he's playing Bach's Air on the G String?
And FK, you must have something unpainted, otherwise you should be dead....
:o.

Have a look down the back of the sofa... ;D
I'd best get those Mahdi camelry sent out then!
:D
That's just another ploy to get those Aztecs sculpted isn't it?
You're just hoping that people will go all soft and think 'Ooohh look at that poor kitty with no figures to paint, something must be done!'
It might just work, but be careful, too long without figures to paint and you know what will happen!
:o I can't remember a time when i had nothing to paint (And que the hovis music) been paintin since I were lad and never in all those years has tha table been bare ;) Go on enjoy it unless you go cold turkey I shudder at the thought i'll send you some of mine ;D
all the best

I'm not sure what that's like. Surely you have an odd figure or two lying around? Hardly any project is complete which doesn't have a spare part remaining. Did you check the back of the closet in the box you haven't opened in 10 years? That's where I've found a few odd figures.
Will you paint some of mine?

Trouble with 10 year old figures is that they tend to be less well sculpted than the current crop. :'(
And there I was, thinking that FK was asking about Arnhem ;) :D
Me, Nik?
Ah yes - true...what was I thinking? :)

. Whereas we men, of course, retain our steel-hard, Greek God like, bronzed, rippling physiques well into our 90s? Yeh, right! :d :d

Hard as it may be to believe, I have never had a Greek God like figure. :)
Neither do i have a a body like the far eastern God Bhudda - I thought I would get that in before anyone else suggested it.
I would also point out that despite finding the sculpting of newer models very attractive I have absolutetly no issues with the sculpting of my current partner.
The Buddha was actually adamant that he wasn't a god. He frequently forbade his followers to worship him. He's also usually represented as a slender man (there's a Buddhist equivalent to the Christian Temptation in the Wilderness). The fat fellow you're thinking of has been conflated with the Chinese Hotei, a god of prosperity who likes being surrounded by laughing children.
The Sri Lankans often portray a young man reclining in contemplation, unless his feet are crossed, in which case he's dead...

Thanks for clarifying that FK. As I wrote it I did seem to remember something like that but I was not certain. Particuarly as overindulgence in food- or anything else does not seem to tie in with the bhuddist beliefs and way of life.
So I have been educated and enlightened today by this forum - Thanks FK.

When we got any hair left.
In theory, very abstemious people. In practice, Thais at least never allow their non-attachment to worldly pleasures to get in the way of a six-course meal.
Mmmm, the little lady's doing something tasty with pork, sator beans, galic, and oyster sauce as I type. :P Aroi makh!
I think we've lost him. :o
What is "galic" ?
Some obscure spelling of garlic ? My dictionary obviously isn't up to much. ;)
I ask purely for information.
Cheers - Phil. (Who certainly doesn't have the body of a Greek god....Though I reckon I could perform as a body double for Judge Death. :P)
My typing is beyond defence!
Which fence is that?
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
To both previous replies....Now go away...I'm trying to push putty around. :P
Cheers - Phil.

Strangely I've got one of those as well. I've put it in the fridge to warm it up...
It's her birthday tomorrow; I suppose I shouldn't go into details of the rum, ginger, and cream cheese cake I've made her.
If it's any consolation, bread and cheese are both luxury items out this way!

To clarify, Just a Few Orcs body is a temple...
namely the Parthenon.

I see, a total ruin perched on a large lump of rock. Yeah, that sounds like mine all right. :'(
With bits of him held by a foreign government, in a dusty museum, so the world can look on his splendorousness without them fading or growing tarnished by pollution?
Well, he's certainly lost his marbles.

I have to most strenuously point out that LH is not qualified to comment on this:- He is not actually a "proper wargamer". His is of all things a "Skinny Wargamer" ;D ;D

I would be perfectly happy for any of the foreign government politicians in the link to hold my marbles in a dusty museum and I quote "look on his splendorousness without them fading" ;D
