Fish wives

A right pair these!!!...Either they are argueing and the pitbull looking one is waiting to boil over and thump the other or they are heatedly moaning about the neighbour.

Big A.P.U´s

Just got these today...sent over from Blighty by Fran Aka The Angry Lurker. They were part of a swop, some of my Daleks for a couple of A.P.U´s. I thought by a couple it was meant two...I´d have been well happy with two but Fran sent 4!!!!! Cheers mate :-D
I´ll get to cutting them up and putting chain guns on the two I have left...my son pinched off with the other two as soon as he saw them.:-D

EXTERMINATE!!!!! (3)

Ok Ray...here are the conversions :-D
The two red Daleks were easy...saw the heads off at the "neck" and glue back on slightly turned to the left or right. Easy peasy!!
The Emporer Dalek was a bit more difficult. Saw off  the gun/arm area, saw off one layer of "blobs" and glue the whole thing back together...like making a nice chocolate cake. ;-D
The head is made from a wooden bead...pinheads for lights. I did do a much better version but scrapped it cos it looked out of style with the other Daleks which don´t have much detail .
YOU WILL OBEY !!!!!

Medieval Citizens

This lot are painted up for my Medieval city aka medieval fantasy game. The pic makes thier faces look a bit bright...I can honestly say that in real life they aren´t so bright...Honest. :-D
These are I think, to be arranged in a group. The two in the middle are in the act of grovelling to the well dressed bod on the far left. The woman is either his wife or a standerby.

Flags

Probably I´m teaching you all how to suck eggs here but here goes :-D Maybe someone hasn´t seen this method.
This is how I make flags for my bods. The flag used is a 1/32nd scale one.
This Flag I printed off the web...you can find tons of Flags there...a lot of them free. For example, Ray at Don´t throw a 1 blog, does a lovely line in Saxon and Norman flags. Also Warflag and  Dansk Figursspilsforening  have a large range of free Flags and banners.

I cut a piece of tinfoil so that there is a mm or so of gap all around the edge, so that when the two halves are glued together there will be a good bond (tinfoil don´t stick too well)  The tinfoil is then glued to one half using woodglue

One half of the flag is then given a thin smear of woodglue, the flag pole laid along the back crease and the two halves carefully folded together. As you do this be carfull to keep checking the position of the flag pole, making sure it stays central.

After the flag has dried, you can crease and fold it as you want...:-D

Putting up this little article is a bloody good excuse to wave a flag in celebration of the good news that Momcha has become a Father!!!!! :-D Wish him  and his family well here
