  1. Ooooh I won a trophy!

    Thanks BM. Could I have it in 1/35th scale? With dirt. And rust. And chipping?:)

      I don`t know...for me is new too. In other fórum. That was, if there were trophies of that style, but here is the first time I see it, and if you do not post it, not that .. maybe it is because of the avalanche (deservedly undoubtedly) of likes I gave you yesterday ... .

      Cheers mate :santa:

      you're welcome mate :)

  2. The downside to making dioramas is that I now hate the smell of Basil.

  3. 4hr wait to be seen at A&E, despite my symptoms being possibly very serious.

    Came straight home. If I die during the night I won't be happy.

      Neither will I, you're got to finish your diorama first.

      Hi mate,

      Was a bit of a worry to have a kip, wake up and find a great big red bruise on my face, bleeding beneath the skin about 2inches square. Looked like I had a huge strawberry birthmark. NHS helpline told me to get to A&E within the hour and that they'd be expecting me. Rushed there and got told 4hrs to be seen. Sod that, I went home. I figured if it was something like meningitis or scarlet fever I'd soon know about it and could phone 999. :think:

       

      Anyway, after 12hrs it seems to have faded a bit. I reckon it was a burst blood vessel. Got a cold at moment (I don't usually catch colds) so possibly the coughing, sneezing caused it to burst?

       

      So, looks like I'm not heading for the big diorama in the sky and I'll be continuing with this one!

       

      Cheers,

      Martin.

      I think I would be a little on the worried side to Martin, sounds like you had a dismal weekend.

  4. TIME FOR THE WIFE'S HOMEMADE STRAWBERRY CHEESECAKE AGAIN!

      Hopefully I'll have better luck next time. :jelly:

  5. Happy new year to all, and most especially those who have followed my progress throughout the past year. If it weren't for you guys, your advice, your tips, your own work which I look up to for inspiration, I wouldn't be improving!

      and to you and your family, being on this site has definitely improved my modelling skills and pushed me to try new things and techniques. I do like the diorama  and the GB sections as I do get some good inspiration from these areas, I've already got some good ideas bubbling for 2017.

      Cheers Badder :santa:

  7. IT'S OKAY, I'M STILL ALIVE, BUT MAYBE NOT KICKING. IF I TRIED KICKING A FOOTBALL NOW, I'D PROBABLY JUST FALL OVER AND MISS IT, AND IF I DID MANAGE TO KICK IT MY KNEES WOULD EXPLODE!

      Hi Clive, and thanks. I won't bore you with the details, but I have had a worsening of my health issues and am probably going to end up medically retired and possibly registered as long-term unfit for work. I'm finding it increasingly hard to walk and I'm afraid it meant that I had to keep postponing my visit to the Tank Museum. In the end I had to admit that I wasn't going to make it. I was very upset about that to be honest, but I did give the ticket to a mate of a mate and he said he made good use of it.

       

       

      I hope all is well you with you,

      Martin.

  8. This week I shall mostly be spelling things incorrectly, and seeing if anyone picks me up on it.

      Ah, but this isn't a post, it's a status. And I thought I'd save the misspelling for my WIPs and comments. Thanks though Adam.

      Rearguards,

      Badder.

  12. Wonders if Barrat's Homes could build 5 houses in the time it takes me to make one in 1/35th?

      I'm hoping Bovis can so I can move in.

  13. It seems I win a 'Gold trophy for most liked content' every October.

    Thanks for all the 'likes' guys.

  14. My ancient Aztec packed up. Hours of dis-assembly, cleaning, soaking, re-assembly, more cleaning, dis-assembly and poking with a stick, I gave up and sat the thing in almost pure bleach for 20mins. Hey presto! It's working again! Thank you Messrs Domestos!

  16. Only just noticed, but some days ago, my Ever Evolvin' Dio WIP surpassed 70,000 views. At least 50k of those were me I suspect lol.

  17. ONLY 9 PAGES OF THE EVER EVOLVIN' DIO PHOTOS TO REPLACE!

  18. AT LAST!

    47 PAGES AND 706 PHOTOS REPLACED FOR MY 'EVER EVOLVING DIORAMA' WIP.

     

    IF IMGUR ENDS UP GOING THE WAY OF HOSTINGPICS I DUNNO IF I CAN GO THROUGH ALL THAT AGAIN. WHAT A PAIN!

  19. FNRGGGGHFNNNNFFNNNRRRRGGGGH WIFE! With5mins to go before Vignette GB closes I thought I'd best take ONE photo of my vignette, even though I hadn't quite finished it..... so I took photo, put memory card in my laptop and discovered she'd taken 450 photos of trees today, the consequence of which was that I couldn't upload my single photo straight away, had no way of deleting all the others in bulk (she'd kill me)it and so I had to wait for the whole lot to upload to my laptop... and by the time they didI had no time left to upload them to pic sharing site and then here... so 4 months wasted.

     

     

  20. Back to the old StuG

  23. grrrrffffgrrrrhhnnnnrgh INTERNET!!!!!!! INTERUPTERNET MORE LIKE!

    Well naffed off with writing up a page only to lose it due to loss of connection!!!!!

  24. Thought I'd change my avatar and confuse everyone for a while. lol. Artwork was a 'band mascot' called 'Hacker' designed and painted by me for a local heavy metal band back in the late 80's early 90's. He featured on all of their merchandise in many guises over the years. Here was a later appearance, as a 'Jack in the box' for a cassette album cover. Yes of course, he was Eddie's cousin.

  25. It's an ammonite, so well preserved that the mother-of-pearl is still present and has turned a brassy colour after reacting with iron. I have a dozen of them found locally.
