[Steel Penguin]

I was planning a "small" visit to the airfix black Friday sale   this morning has put paid to that    back passenger side tyre was flat, got a screw in it,  so after changing it for the ( full size) spare ill have to get it fixed Saturday, and if theres any cost involved itll be no plastic..  poot!

Much sympathy!  I'm having to be careful with the imperial treasury at present (spent too much on Madame's Christmas present)

But that gets you mucho plus points for the New Year. 

[Steel Penguin]

that is very true Kit.

though in truth, when I mentioned the fact that I was going to miss out on (yet) more Airfix goodness, Mrs penguin  said if I wanted shed wrap up some of the Airfix boxes from under the bed, in brown paper and let me open up a parcel     ( Mrs P is widely know for paying attention when things are talked a bought, and she may well have been channelling Kits wife from when she pointed at the ceiling / attic, and mentioned the biggest kit store in town  )

well, im back from getting the tyre looked at.    not reparable ( I didn't think it was going to be)  so ive had to get a new one. 
on the other hand, im not far off getting all the presents that need getting so 

[Steel Penguin]

ive been waiting in for the Gasman to come to service the boiler today, ( its a non stop rock and roll life I live  )  so ive finished of the 28mm figs ive been progressing with.
2 Pulp minis dangerous dames,  a mystic spirals weird WW2 German with mecha arm, a black pyramid  Victoriana mars expedition trooper, and 11 Crooked dice time lift security, all done in nice identifying colours, to give a good spectrum of appearance.

that gives
146 figures  17 pieces of scenery 8 models

and copy / paste from earlier
2014   88 figs   9 models  19 pieces of scenery
2013   90 figs   4 models  1 piece of scenery
2012   228  items including  1  1:48 Tonka  and  17 vehicles
2011   152 items including 1  1:48  A10 and  16 resin vehicles

wow ive managed to do more     knock me down with a feather  I thought id been slacking off.

[Steel Penguin]

2 more 28mm figs done,  crooked dice project time lift again,  Benton Troad and Bambi Gascoigne, the civilian head and assistant, vaguely prisoner-esque  figures, but they finish out the prepped set for Project time lift so im happy 

148 figures  17 pieces of scenery  8 models.

ive got a Hugo Solomon  nearly done ( needs a wash and the eyes doing then possibly a light drybrush to bring the colours back up)   after that ill be prepping a pile of the Department X commandos, heavy weapon teams and command figures, including another Solomon and Pandora set.  that will be the majority of my " good guys" for 7TV done, ive still got some odds ( temporal travellers a lizard woman investigator and staff ) and a set of Shiva stuff for the baddys to sort.

[Steel Penguin]

Solomon is done, so all I want now is some dry, still wind, oh and a bit of light to varnish with 

147 figs  17 scenery  8 models

I'm confused, which isn't difficult 

[Steel Penguin]

sorry Narses
that should read
I want some dry, still weather.
I spray varnish and as such the only place I can do it is in the back garden, so at the mo, high winds and wet weather are not good

[NARSES2]

Understood. I do the same thing on the balcony

[Steel Penguin]

well  works finished for the year, the majority of the pressies are wrapped, my diet for the next few days will probably be fowl, ( badum tish!),   Mrs P folks tomorrow, and mine on sunday,  with a bit of time to do some painting on the X-commandos ive got together and undercoated,   12 troopers, ( mix of SLRs MP5s and HPDAs ) 2 two man heavy weapon teams, genny and energy weapon, a sergeant in a kilt ( Sean Connery with SLR) a Brigadier,  a dapper scientist, alien strandie in a ruffled shirt, and a catsuit wearing crime fighting female. 

Oh and my addition seems to have become subtraction
Solomon being finished should have given me a total of
149 figs, 17 pieces of scenery, 8 models.
Doh!!

[Captain Canada]

That`s certainly a good output ! Have a great Holiday and looking forward to seeing what you get up to next year...when you`re not so fowl
