but that is a very nice picky

Indeed... 

[Steel Penguin]

and thank you for the insperation, that struck due to the pic Scooter 

i would like Dryads an Nymphs...   the modern GW one arnt what i want ( the modern GW wood elfs arnt either,  they look like they are channelling the Phantom of the opera    )   
I just need to find some suitable 1:35 scale figs 
that is a problem for later though

[Rick Lowe]

There are lots out there to pick and choose from... some more  than others... 

[Steel Penguin]

ive realised that ive done nothing on the chally for over a month, so its gone back into a box to be picked up again later   

so i need to pick something else to have a build of.
hhmmmm

[Steel Penguin]

pulled the recently ( this year ) rebuilt and resprayed Predator light tank, off the shelf, a quick overpaint to matt the colours and hopefully i can do a bit more tonight,  ive realised how much the previous kit had killed any joy or drive. 

i may do a couple of simple wargamy things before i have another go at a more advanced kit.

quick dust round and put words to screen
the pred is as good as done, it looks a bit crude but wont matter at 4 foot range on the table top.

im currently gluing and filling the ground zero resin  vehicles i got in september, a transport VTOL with no landing legs or chin tturret,  which i think i can scratch some skids for and have as a CASEVAC bird,  the hoverplat med tank i im having to fill the  gun support of a few bubble holes, and the grav tank and APC im having to pancake fill the upper and lower body halves with filler to ensure they will hold together,  and having a reasonable amount of fun doing so,

Though in other news im at the fill sand refill part with the grav vehicles and the vtol, the hoverplat is ready to undercoat, but with the weather being wet.... not at the mo.

the hoverplat is done and now awaiting varnish      the 2 Grav vehicles are fairly well along they will get a spill of ink and then a bit of drybrushing,  the bases are taking well,  lots of mud brown and then drybrush the stones grey, 
going good     
i just have to work out what the heck im doing next...
as Radish used to say " the endless possibility's"   

[Steel Penguin]

hoverplats varnished, as are the 2 Grav vehicles, and the GW original Preaditer

4 models.
and after not being able to get pics, ive found the 6mm ( 1:300) versions here
http://paintplayrepeat.blogspot.com/2020/03/ground-zero-games-sci-fi-6mm-miniatures_10.html
the Rommel is the hoverplat,  and the kivruzh and the avrazh are the Grav vehicles, the Rommel being aprox 4.5" long in 25mm scale / size

the  GZG hover transport ( its the AV6 in the above link) i had a moment of vision on,  dont bother with the Chin turret and paint it white, and put big red crosses on the side doors and tail ramp and have it a a Ambulance version akin to things like Crash Cart  in shadowrun and Trauma team in cyberpunk, i can hopefully use a little blue ink to give some depth to the intakes and vents 

[Steel Penguin]

a late present for Mrs SP and myself today,   one of our friends tuned up with the re-release of shadow of the moon by blakmore`s night,    both the CD/DVD and the 12" Vinyl  i will be listening to it tomorrow, due to dentist appointments ive all day off so can put it on and if needed crank the volume, to remind the neighbours that yes were still here, the CD player still works, and i have stranger musical taste than they think 

As can be guessed i am rather happy 
the red crosses are done and the seepage has been picked back and white reapplied,  the intakes have been inked.  i will have to add some dirt and oil wash but that will be after the current load is dry.

if needed crank the volume, to remind the neighbours that yes were still here, the CD player still works, and i have stranger musical taste than they think 

     Musical taste is one of those few lifestyle expressions that it's exceptionally difficult to fathom people out over.
