John Carpenter's "They Live" ... knee jerk reactions to haves and havenots turned into American classic.

Kevin ?

We have all had brushes with the hard to explain , the apparent impossible , the out of this world ... here's a chance to share a memory or few ... So way back in my younger days me, my brother and two friends we coming home from an all day "monsters of rock" concert in San Francisco, we stoped at a store to pick up some liquids refreshments and snaks for the ride home when I saw them ... coming down the street was a largish gang "wilding" , basically thumping everyone that came across their path ... they were a block away and I was the last one to get into my car ... "hay guys get out" , I said, "let's teach these punks a lesson" ... now I was the assistant wrestling coach at the local college wail I was still in high school and have had a wide range of training over the years so this wad kind of a natural response for me ... the other three had way more common sense, asking me to get in so we can go , this went on as the gang kept coming down the block beating up all who crossed their path ... Just then I herd a car screech to a stop, out of it flew a figure dressed all in black with the bat man emblem on his chest , he dashed across the street in short order armed only with two sawed off baseball bats and laid into the gang ... after over ten years of hand to hand combat training I can tell you, he knew what he was doing and executed every move with impressive precision ... after one of the best fight scenes I have seen in any bat man movie he dashed back to the bat mobile (A primer black ElComeno) and was gone ... leaving a mess of moaning thugs and cheering fans ... What a day, Monsters of rock and Bat man ... hard to say witch was more intense.

It's beer thirty somewhere ...

A different kind of superhero movie ... Beowulf & Grendal ... beneath the legend lies the tail ... my favorite take on the old tail to date.

Is that Arnold / Conan cammo ?

A lot of pig hunters use super glue to mend their dogs up ... it was originally developed as chemical stitches in battle field conditions (thus fast acting) you can rub a shell over the area and tend to him till it dries ... should be fast and stand up to a few days ... check online for application tips and tricks.

Boot Hill ... so classic, gave my copy with several modules to my cousin on his last birthday ... he is big on collecting old school TSR . It had my go to combat system for Top secret and gangbusters ...

Two tenticals up

I like the contrast, it fits the figure well ... though a little blending inside the wings might fade (only a little) the dark wings to the lighter webbing ... bridging the transition some ...

Nice job ... what game(s) will you use them in ... I used to build multi tree bases to make 'forested' areas and leave the trees removable for larger things moving into the area marked by the base ... worked well for table top war games that used 'area' terrain rules.

Noone suspect the Spanish inquisition !!!

Add a feeder and you'll have a regular day spa for you feathered friends ...

<--- in same boat , most win and get better lose and , well , lose systems have a few good/lucky players jump out ahead and the rest drift out... usually in about a month or so ... The mention of tournament play dose suggest a balanced game but with a very small model count ... looking forward to how this one turns out.

If the sign is clip on / removable or on it own post you can use different signs for different themes and get multi use out of the hanging cages ...

Kung fu hustle ... over the top martial arts meets gangsters in a hilarious battle with the world's top fighters ... sort of ...

A sign warning to others ... clipped on or standing near by would be a nice addition ...

With that gear and that hair do someone is just begging for a brawl ...

Only 2 more days of being 'on call' for this quarter ... I love rushing to people aid and saving the day for others ... but a call at 1 am followed by a call at 3 am about parking spots is not why I have a phone ...

Some of us are outside the box no matter where we are ... and thats a good thing.

Now you need some bed bugs ... Or maybe a monster that fits under the bed ... Is a sheet phantom a thing ?

A few jobs back i painted a looot of apartments , owners hated spray painting (too many horror stories) so I got to roll out a lot of ceilings (fyi ... it's code for all day back torture) what saved my back time and time again ... switching the hands up ... doing a physical job the same way over and over will build up tension in the back , balance it out by changing up lead / follow hand on a regular basis and see if your back thanks you ...

That guy has more detail than the last army I painted ... nice work ...

I used to help a friend cast colored cement mold and we got creative around the seams to seal for pore ... Vaseline pressed into the seam can smooth out sharp edges and putty can be a resistant gap filler (skimmed with Vaseline to smooth and antilock) , the right kind can stand up to decent weight ... and yeah you have to be clean about it as every little glop is an indentation in your end result ... Is you table top going to have a rim ? We cast top down with cement so the top of the cast was flat but the bottom could have variation in hieth, a raised center for example once cast and flipped made a great bird bath ... we also could set shapes (putty and Vaseline around the base) to set impesions into the other side, cup holders, nuts for mounting, or hooks in the top flat for hanging smaller casts on a wall ... if you want to hang it or mount legs to it you can set mounts in ether side of your cast ... Food for though ...

Before I moved I was working on a RPG campaign concept that I have not been able to get off the ground since I moved so thought I'd kick the idea around here in the off chance it might start a fire with someone else ... So the game starts in an alternate reality with the gaming group stating them selves out as starting players, not 100% accurate but an alternate reality version of himself that fits into a starting player profile for whatever game system you like to use ... Once stated out the players will get together for game night, in the alternate reality version of where your group gets to get her to play ... you get the idea, your playing a alternate reality version of you, but this alternate reality gets interrupted by an mini zombie apocalypse, a freak storm and weird lightning bolts that turn people into zombies ... Being game nerds your group react accordingly and start putting down the zombies and figuring out what's going on ... a great opportunity to have some fun with the local peeps ... the players lern that the trouble is ruminating from a mysterious tower that appeared out of nowhere at a local golf course / sports field / etc large open spot ... the players gear up and do what players do, poke their nose in to fine a much queen rounding up zombie slaves to take back home with her ... Only once the players take the evil much queen out do they discover her life sustained the tower in this plain, at the moment she died the tower and all inside return to her plane of origin ... the fantasy world of ... The players and whatever firepower they have ammased now find themselves in a new world full of new challenges ... filled with your favorite minis of course ... they will have to find and ally with some locals to eat/learn to survive in their strange new world ... As the year rolls round one customer seems to stand out more and more, the clan / tribe / town your players allied with are obsessed with collecting the skulls of their enimie race works/ lizard folk / whatever you have handy ... they must collect s quota for their gods before they return and time is running out ... the players must prove their worth and bag some skulls soon. On the appointed time they come ... your allies see their gods descending in a chariot of fire ... your group see a drop ship with a party of powered armored warriors here to collect a pile of skulls and thank the locals for keeping the hostile race numbers down with a few thank you trinkets. The warriors from space are sure to see you are different and take you with them to the stars ... and so begins the 3rd phasebofbthe game, space, the next frontier... Start with zombie apocalypse, take you time ... Shift to fantasy (magic = psychics) take more time ... Shift to science fiction with alien vertions of the fantasy world ... all agreed to a wager over the planet, most skulls wins or something like that but limited to primitive tech only ... on the planet ... some argue the players are cgeaterd but thay have seen things wail on the planet that exsposes others as cheats ... thing go from bad to worse ... in just the way a GM can get some mileage out of ...
