Brick Bungalow

Hey all, just thought I'd mention that we've got a decently well attended Mordheim event going on Fridays out in Beaverton at Retro Game Trader. I believe we had six or so players when I left at nine pm. If you want a place on the west side to play any of the specialist games or anything else of 4x4 scale feel free to reserve a table or just show up thursday thru monday and claim one.

I'm sayin.....

Bob Olley who sculpted the best (imo) of the original squat line continued to make models after leaving GW. His 'Scrunt' line definitely bears the mark of the original squat models. I actually prefer them in many respect. http://www.olleysarmies.co.uk/scrunts.html

I'm looking to possibly be a GW retailer starting in the fall. I'd be looking to support all the 4'x4' games.

anyone for board games?

We drove to just south of Mcminneville in order to view the totality. It was beyond majestic. Tears. Really. Also, didn't get stuck in traffic at all.

Your stuff is always zany and original and I'd just want to see an army consistent with that. Hopefully a successor chapter that isn't already well represented in the community. Variant color scheme. I like the ones with half or quarter livery a lot.

Cool. Thanks bros.

I spoke with a couple members about this earlier this year. I have minis and gaming items that I'm interested in selling but I have found that I simply don't have the time to coordinate local pickups. My preference would be to find someone interested in selling them on my behalf for some agreed upon fee or percentage. This could be an ongoing thing with the right person as my current occupation tends to accumulate gaming supplies regularly.

I'll bring a board game and extra fan.

That does sound fun but I blundrd. Hopefully soon!

I'd be interested in board games if that's a thing. I can bring some new ones if need be.

I'm pretty good with fleshtones but I still struggle to get pupils straight and even. Takes me three or four tries on average.

Looks great. I'm really happy to see some truly dynamic poses. The one-fist-up-one-fist-down look is so 1997

looks terrific

I read a brief memoir a while back. He seemed like a thoughtful and gentle person. Condolences to the family. We are lucky to have his works to enjoy.

I have never been there and didn't know where it was. Just in case anyone else hasn't either: http://www.theportlandgamestore.com/

Beariot!

It's a frikkin country bear jamboree!

If I were doing it: The way the newer plastic kits assemble I would glue the whole thing together according to the diagram and then find a good spot to cut the limb afterward for nice clean break. Trying to magnetize the odd spots where the parts normally join seems very difficult by comparison. I like the break to be about halfway between the joints on a given limb. Either midpoint between shoulder and elbow or between elbow and wrist. Its best if there some kind of sleeve or bracelet or other element that collars one section onto the next and hides the seam. For the bloodthirster I like the gauntlet strap nearest the elbow. If you cut that and then around the gauntlet edge I think the seem would be well hidden. The wings feel a bit tricker. They probably need some kind of cavity/post arrangement to look nice. I have attached a set yet.

Looking sharp so far!
