Questions and Answers for the Angry Reject!

TV during the day sucks blue whales ass and I actually miss the Olympics coverage and even the asshole questions that some presenters asked athletes who had failed to qualify or only win bronze or silver medals!!!!!!

So myself and Ray in one of our frequent painting funks, breaks from hurling abuse at each other and searching for women's beach volleyball (Ray wanted to watch the men's instead!) decided to set some questions to each other instead of plotting to do each other harm, so have a read and maybe have a chuckle at Ray the git!

What the fecking 15mm Sci-Fi now!

I'm not bragging or anything but when you have a lot of time on your hands (at work and for the little time left) you can paint a lot of figures and ranges and maybe head into a period that the Rejects fecking detest frown upon (especially Ray).

I've always loved sci-fi and what ifs? and after watching the flawed but beautiful Prometheus I have belly flopped dipped my toe into some sci-fi with colonists, colonial marines, aliens, neo-soviets, vehicles, ships and possibly a space ship interior etc.....

So this is just a small taste of some things to come........still painting 15mm moderns and just waiting for some Russians and Chechen to be released by a couple of companies!

But Ray the purist still gripes and some others may but it's the painting disease Bloodyshinyitis that has it's grip and won't let go!

Ray: WTF?
Lurker: What now?
Ray: Sci-Fi?
Lurker: Yes!
Ray: Good God, are you round the bend?
Lurker: Piss off Ironsides!
Ray: I'm telling the others?
Lurker: I don't care!
Ray: I'm coming over their to smack you in a minute!
Lurker: Bring it on!
....and this continued in the same vein for 30 minutes or so!

NEWS: Due to the other disease incredible boredom we're developing at our last months at work or Bloodyboringitis,  myself and Ray have set each other 20 questions to answer and will post tomorrow, now you don't have to copy but you can, it's not a virus it's just us......... but saying that Ray looks like dysentery!

15mm Power Loader from Khurasan and 15mm GZG colonist figure......
