both the Jags have got complete and decaled pits, and both have had that placed in the main body's,  both of which were bowed, so they have been well cemented together, and then had large amounts of rubber band and cello tape applied to hold them together wile curing completes.
Ive got some more done on more fed troops and a couple of savage school girls nearly finished as well,  and the 4Ground hotel continues, ive got the main build of the 1st floor done and am well into the roof section now.
im trying to get some stuff off and finished as ive got a load of the new figures for the skirmish game " Frostgrave"  on order  http://www.northstarfigures.com/list.php?man=195&page=1  so I want to be able to start some of that when i get it next month.  in addition  theres a small order in to HLBS, so im in the traditional need more space and time state. :party:

Tomorrow im off to the Falconry centre at Newent, so little modelling will be done, but I can watch, learn and maybe get some photos.

ive finally finished the hotel complex   :thumbsup:  spent this afternoon, filling in the razor saw cuts with humbrol filler, repainting and then using brown ink to add a depth of colour to between the courses of bricks, so that's Jobs a good un   yay !!.
Ive got a ruined semi to do next, as that's a smallish job, then I have to decide between the 2 corner shops ive got, or to open the La Haye Sainte box and start assembling parts of that, which is 7 or 8 buildings.
the Jags are on fill, file, and shape at the moment and then will moving forward again.  And wile I know its the Cosi air show tomorrow, ill be staying home, after a couple of years ago when the traffic was so heavy, I didn't get there, and this years, only available to pre purchase tickets, what with the UK weather being so random  I was just  :-\  bleugh  till today, and the rain and low cloud, with tomorrows forecast im not at all certain its worth the cash.
I can paint, pute, and model.

Especially en masse!  :-\
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

the last of my federation guards are finished  3 normal troopers, a heavy weapon trooper, and a sec robot, 

106 figures 3 pieces of scenery 4 models.

I dread to think how many fed troopers ive got ( more that the Beebs Blakes 7 budget allows that's for certain)   I know for certain its 2 Servalans ( ones in the black dress from the series and one in a more flame effect outfit) , a Travis and 4 mutoids  and a passle of troopers. :thumbsup:

not certain where my meanderings going next, ive still got the rebels to paint, plus some pulp figures, a set of Morris dancers ( some armed), the Jags, more airfix troopers, a brachiosaur, and others,  but ive a hankering to do the 1:56 cent ive got  give it a demo gun, and ive got a set of gulf war warrior upgrade armour to fit ( it wont exactly match the upgrade the AVRE Cents got, but itll lot close enough to confuse  :lol:

or who knows what else...

Right I'll ask the obvious. What's a Sec Robot ? A robot just in case the guard captain just has to dictate that memo in the middle of the action ? "Please send more ammo" in triplicate of course  ;D

Morris dancers are always armed. Have you seen the size of those sticks ?

Love reading your blog just shows me how much the world of Wargamming has changed  :thumbsup:

If you're going to have attack Brownies, you might as well have a troop of their smaller siblings, the Sparks. Imagine all of the trouble they could start  :thumbsup:

What do you end up doing with them all ?
