15mm Modern/Sci-Fi Rubble Scenery Bodging........

Wow.....another post........

These bad boys are for my city streets for the modern or sci-fi gaming, they are based on old DVD movies discs I was sent but were awful( I think one starred Vinnie Jones in a recent flick), the contents of the bases were found in the bits box ( a mixture of 15mm and HO scale) and the field I live in......

I wanted them to be the one colour to show that the thick city dust has settled on everything but nature has started to make it's presence felt......

Working on a couple of others to finish the set and today I reached a milestone...50, no not stone.....years old!

Who would have thought it.........

28mm Painted AVP Predators, Colonial Marines and Aliens........

......from Prodos Games.

Received the AVP (Aliens vs Predator) boxset from a friend, he had received 3 from the kickstarter but while talking to him over the proceeding months he never seemed to have the painting time, so for his birthday I painted him the figures so he could game with a painted set!

Figures are resin, very light (I weighted the bases), good detail especially the predators, hard to clean and one ridiculous pose of a marine with his foot in the air (I molded some green stuff to at least make him stable!).

Poor pictures but the situation for the moment is causing some disruption!

Skirmish 2012 (September), I'm older and Ray bought Space Marines!!

Got up today older at 44 years of age which as you know is 16 in man years (4 + 4 = 8 multiplied by number of testicles = 16).......

Happier times.......

Myself, Postie and Ray (met Lee there) headed of to the Skirmish Wargames Show at Sidcup (I had birthday money burning a hole in pocket but saved some for SELWG next month!), picked up a few pieces from Ainsty (28mm sci-fi which will pose as 15mm scenery), a painted kit of a civil airliner and helicopter at the Bring and Buy and some pieces of Games Workshop scenery going cheap, some 15/20mm white UN vehicles and talked to some fellow bloggers (a few regulars were missing up until we left around 1300hrs, I then had to buy lunch for the gits on my birthday (queued to get into a McDonald's.......in the fecking rain!!!!!), got home and got ready for work. Skirmish is a good little show, highly recommended.

Took very little pictures for some reason and not that good as I went through them but I was tired because I'm old........

Clint otherwise known as the cat herder overseeing his 7TV Crooked Dice participation game, we were meant to play but time got away from us again.....

Really nice 40K game.......

54mm Viva Mexico 1916 game using 54mm figures I believe.......

54mm San Juan Hill game.......

More from that 40K game......

Ray with his space marines (all 51 of them) and Leofwine Wargamerson otherwise known as Alan and a rabid supporter of Arsenal and motorised wheelchair battery removal, has issues with Tottenham Hotspur seemingly as well......Postie in the background.

Ray is buying stock for his painting venture, the blog giveaway will hopefully happen next week as the stuff has arrived and will be a joint giveaway with Ray when he reaches 300,000 hits.

A Year Older........

......but only physically not mentally. I work to the premise that you add the two digits of your birthday together which in my case is 43 today in "human" years but only 14 in mental years (4+3x2= 14) which is true of all men and you'll never be older than 36 my brothers.

Got a nice haul of good stuff from friends and family (but nothing from Ray again) and a few bucks to spend on a few other things, it's nice to get what we as men and modellers want and not socks and hankies as last year I got a clothes brush and scarf among some other dodgy items (can I get an amen brothers and sisters).

Still waiting on something from The One and back to work on Monday.

"Goodies" even if they're only to replace what I dropped but greatly appreciated.

The former other half after she received surgery on some polyps inside her mouth, needing stitches and having her mouth held open by a nurse for 15 minutes. So we've been out this week a few times and when people look at her in a little shock she then mouths "him" and points at me, bloody women I've had a lot of dirty looks this week. 

Had a great Egyptian vs Hittites game at the weekend with the Rejects and will post a lot more pictures next week.

Have yourself a good weekend people.
