Welcome
Update 7/29/10
Well folks,
I made it back relatively unscathed from Mount
Whitney. I also took Da Boss and Tork along for the ride.
Click the picture on the right for a closer view of them standing
on the survey marker on the top of the mountain. Some folks might
think I'm nuts for the carrying the extra weight, but that's just
the kinda guy I am :)
I'm back in the saddle after a couple of days
of recuperation. There should be some new pics of freshly painted
Terminators the Commissions section
within a few days.
Stay tuned.
Past Updates
Update 7/18/10
Damn, I've been slackin' pretty hard on the
updates this summer. Well, one of my daughters is out of school
for summer vacation, and we've got several trips planned as well.
All of which makes it a bit rough to keep on top of things.
So why the pretty picture of the mountain?
That's my next destination this summer, Mount
Whitney in the high sierra. At 14,500 feet, it's the tallest
mountain in the contiguous United States. I'll be hiking up that
beast next week.
And just to show that I'm not totally slacking
on my modelling, there are couple of new project logs happening
in the Commissions section.
See ya in a week or so.
Update 6/23/10
Well folks, I'm back in the saddle after
a beautiful vacation. I was great to just hang out and relax,
with no worries beyond what to have for lunch...
... but now it's time to get back to reality
(or at least what passes for reality when you're building and
painting toy soldiers).
At any rate, before I get cranking on some
of the commission gigs I have waiting for me, I had to get my
head back in the game. I decided to start on a project that I've
been meaning to do for quite a while now. I've got the beginning
of a Looted Wagon
taking shape in the Mek Shop, complete
with some resin track plates that'll be making into the Store
at some point in the near future.
Update 6/9/10
Aloha folks. I'll be out of touch for the
next week and a half or so.
Why?
Well, have a look at the picture on the right.
Yup, I'm headed off to Hawaii with my wife and kids for a much
needed vacation. No work. No internet. No hassles. Just sittin'
my lazy butt on a beach, drinkin' a Mai
Tai and watching my daughters play in the sand.
See ya when I get back.
Update 6/3/10
The Ironclad Dreadnought
is getting his gang colors in the Commissions
section. After painting this thing, I am now certain that my Crimson
Fists army will be getting one at some point. They're just too
cool looking.
Funny thing is, I didn't much like the design
when I first looked at it. I thought the arms were oversized and
the model was too "busy". After working on one, the
design has grown on me. The big arms and the fact that it's bristling
with weapons depicts it's battlefield role nicely. An Ironclad
is a short-ranged brute, meant to get up close and beat the enemy's
face in.
Gotta get me one o' these!
Update 5/29/10
I've started building an Ironclad
Dreadnought in the Commissions
section. This thing is pretty beastly looking, and after reading
the rules on it, this thing will be pretty nasty coming down in
a Drop Pod.
I think I might just have to pick one up for
my Crimson Fists.
Update 5/27/10
Just a small update today, gang. Kharn
the Betrayer is pretty much finished in the Commissions
section. Just waiting on customer approval and this bad boy is
ready for some clearcoat and static grass.
Update 5/25/10
I had my car in the shop the other day to get the tire fixed.
It had a slow leak and I figured I'd let the guys at Firestone
look at it since it's under warranty.
There I was, bored out of my skull and watching
a tow trukk haul a car onto the lot when an idea hit me. Tork,
my Big Mek, has been needing a ride for some time, and what better
way for a Mek to ride in style than in a monster Tow Trukk! I
busted out the pencil and paper and started to sketch out a design,
right there in the shop. By the time my tire was fixed, I had
the design sketch for my next Ork project: Tork's
Wrecka
