Steel Penguins braying

[Rick Lowe]

  "you've got to let us go, weve got the speakers and the Wagner ready"    to which the co thinks " there possessed by the spirit of Lieutenant Colonel Kilgore" so you know where its going to go.....

Nice reference! Shows the character has a good sense of history.
(I always think it's one of the best sequences in that movie.)

Although, having watched "Rango" with the voice of Johnny Depp, I'll never hear 'The Ride of the Valkyries' in quite the same way again... 

Cheers

next set of 28s on the desk.  Something that any "England" based game needs   
Morris men   ( and armed morris men)  care of gripping beast  http://www.grippingbeast.co.uk/TWDCSP03_The_Morris_7--product--4091.html     and  http://www.grippingbeast.co.uk/TWDCSP04_Armed_Morris_4--product--4092.html
I plan on similar colours to the ones on the above pages ( not as well painted no dought)

[Captain Canada]

Those Morris men are really neat, and look excellent all painted like that. Interesting stuff for sure !

[Steel Penguin]

 having changed my sig  ( you have noticed haven't you)
my old one is below   just in case I decide to ever change back
still thinking, how abought....  nah thats not good ebough... how abought?   nah neather. update 17/01/11 I think, therefore i cannot be at work. UPDATE 06/10/13 Occasionally, dangerously competent,  update 01/10/14, hmm minirolls

[Captain Canada]

Dangerously Competent ! I recall a workmate asking the engineer to show him how to perform a certain task. The response ? " No ! A little knowledge with you is dangerous ! "

Funny stuff.

[Steel Penguin]

thank you CC    that's the general idea  behind the quote
though mainly its due to the fact that my lack of knowledge never ceases to amaze me   

[Rick Lowe]

I have to say, I've always liked the 'Occasionally, Dangerously Competent' comment... 

Then again, if you don't know something can't be done, it's amazing what you can get accomplished...

Cheers

[Steel Penguin]

as my dad used to say  " you can get further with brute force and ignorance, than you can with just brute force" 
he also used to say " yesterday I couldn't even spell engineer, now I am one"

[Rick Lowe]

Or as I often say, 'If Brute Force and Ignorance don't work, you're not using enough'...

There again, I also say 'When in doubt, empty the magazine', so there you go.

[Captain Canada]

lol good points ! But, like everything, if it doesn't kill you.....and when it comes to this hobby, if you don't try, how do you know if you can or can't ? Half of my battle is over thinking, and it's just a lump of plastic for #$ sakes....

[Steel Penguin]

CC  ive finished " if it doesn't kill you"   many different ways  especially in role playing games
... it cripples you for life
... it reduces you SAN to nill
... it wasn't trying hard enough
.. the GM wasn't paying attention
... itll never succeed again

but overthinking is something I can empathise with, the Lear suffered from that, the terror of looking at a perfectly serviceable kit, the razor saw, and remembering the messes id created when younger.   
I also tend to finish off the saying  " youll get on like a house on fire "     with the question  " what the emergency services in attendance and major property damage ??" 

[Steel Penguin]

the morris men are done  another 11 28mm figs, 

131 figures   16 pieces of scenery  7 models.

contemplating the next build,  I think it'll be 1:35  and tracked.
got a dozen plus to pick from    

[Rick Lowe]

A friend finishes "What doesn't kill you..." with "Had better know how to run!"

But then he's built like a brick wossname, so he can back that statement up...   

[Steel Penguin]

   went with the conqueror    its at the top of the pile  and the part built Chieftain or Chally are a long way down it
its been washed, and the base coat of white is on
yup Berlin time!!

[Steel Penguin]

well the plan was to do some gluing.
I forgot to tell that to the oldest of the kittys,  shes decided that my desk is perfect for sitting on tonight 
maybe tomorrow
