The insane bike ride.

On Sunday Aug. 17th, I will be on a bike ride, some say insane, I say fun.

It will be on the Silver Comet Trail, a paved railroad bed.

Starting in Smyrna and going to Rockmart, it will be about an 80 mile round trip.

Daniel, Jeff, Nathaniel,Myself and maybe a couple of others will go on the trip.We have a bail out plan in place if the ride back is to daunting.

I'll hopefully post pics on Monday.

And 2 Heavy Bolters

The current project is 2 heavy bolters to finnish off the last of my weapon choices.

And in the back ground to the left, two old school marine sergeants

which will more than likely be next on the to do list.

And 6 Rocket Launchers

I also needed 6 rocket launchers.

These guys were painted with a darker base coat, and then high lighted with the regular color.

More high light on the 3 to the right that the other 3.

I do not think I'll be doing this method again. 

5 melta guys

I have been working on filling out the last of my squads weapon choices.

I finished the five melta guys awhile ago, but had no time to post them.

I just can not believe this!!!! I really wanted dull!

I know it has been a while for posting, the Quad has taken up so much of my time, talking on the phone, being transfered to someone else on the phone, searching on the net for the info we need to make a go or no go call when we found a glitch with the Quad and the city of Atlanta, as Derek likes to put it "drama, it's what makes life not dull".

So to pass the long waits in-between times, I was finishing the last 5 of a squad of 10 assault marines.

So this is the first of the squad I did a while ago.

And this is how the last five turned out.

See that fuzzy white mess all over the guys in the front ?

I ran out of the matte varnish that I use to cover them. It keeps the paint from rubbing off and gives them a nice dull, flat look, that is crisp.

I bought  some more, but this batch is called "purity seal".

Well in my opinion, it's pure s@%$!!!

Now I have to paint them again.

It's a Quad

This is all I've been thinking about 

for the last week or so.

The Librarian

And this what my new Librarian looks like.

Here's a look at the 5 Sergeants

These are my five squad leaders.

I've got one more to go.

I might make him with an ax and a pistol.

The Sergeant is done.

I finished the sergeant.

I added the banner to his back pack and

 put the golden eagle back on .

This is how G.W. painted their sergeant.

Two more update.

I started adding the foundation color to most of the parts.

And I added the banner pole to the sergeants backpack.

Starting Two more

The one on the left is the new Librarian with his staff,

the other is the new space marine sergeant with a power fist and bolt gun.

I'm in the Armory now!

The Crusader takes it's place in the armory.

Proud of my wife

I am so proud of my wife.

She opened her own quilt shop on Etsy.

This is her banner that is on top of the shop page.

I helped make the banner.

Take a look.

Crusader update

This is the Landraider with all it's

parts,

a shot of the back,

now for the finishing touches.

Landraider Crusader

This is my latest work in progress.

This the main hull and all the part I have not put on.

And this is just the hull. Front view,

And this is inside, I spent way to much time on these things.

that is the engine in the back.

Meet Puck and Ava

This is Puck and Ava.

Ava is a skilled fighter who is half elf and half human. She has auburn hair and eyes of green that can pierce a man's soul.

Puck is a ranger with a bow, who is also half elf and half human. Puck's name is Phineas Ulysses Claudius Kennyrddare or Puck for short. His last name means "sworn to the winds".

  They both were members of other adventure parties that met with dire ends when all but they were killed. After each made their way to a small town, to rest and heal their wounds, Puck and Ava met in the only pub in town. Being the only Half Elves in town, Gravity took over after a lot of hard unwanted stares, under the breath grumblings that would normally start fights,.... they shared a small table in the shadowy corner, far from the fireplace. With a pint or two and the sharing of their strange tales of life as a half elf human, the loss of each of their elf parents at their birth and the loss of their human parents so long ago to the shortness of human life, bound these two together as long lost friends. 

From one battle to another.

I have had a string of loosing battles against Chris and Daniel as of late ......

and the last game against Daniel I lost,badly, so I issued a challenge to him in the form of a comic.

He had left one of his guys behind in one of the buildings, I told him not to leave any behind, who knows what would happen to him??        

So now the battle will be 2000 pts.

The hostage will be the objective,

in the center of the table,

and will be blindfolded, 

and will move 1 d6 and scatter die per turn.

Work In Progress

This is the "work station".

No real work actually happens here, Just lots of fun.

Movies

The last really good movie that we watched was The Kingdom.

Very good, very intense.

Mountain Biking

Mountain biking is sometimes in my head. Living near the lake with trails helps alot with getting to ride when I want. Not only do I get a workout from riding but I also use the time to work out things in my head. I like riding in the woods, with the trees and branches flying by as I speed along the trail.

40K

40K is one of my hobbies. I like all parts of 40K: building models and painting them, playing the game, reading and re-reading White Dwarf, reading other web sites about it, talking about it. I plan on taking pictures of my models and posting them here, like this one...
