More builds before the move

The time gets closer to the move and although I am looking forward to the move i am not looking forward to the month without hobbying.  The new house has a great basement with plenty of space for hobby stuff and a half decent gaming table.  A buddy of mine built one from scratch not too long ago and I might ask for his plans.  In the interim, I will have to get away with what I can and hopefully wont buy too many models in the time between.  Until then, here is the offering of the week.

Enter "Assassin" a forgeworld thunderbolt that I purchased 3 years ago.

 Some battle damage from a close call.

 The overall paint scheme was inspired by a P-51 and the ME-109.  Both great brawlers.

I'm planning on doing some nose are at some point but the rest has to be painted first.

 The base has been completed for a long time, but this is the project it was intended.

There will be a requirement for some more snow work before this project will be done.  Additionally I am thinking of adding some icicles.

Until next time, Happy Hobbying.

Folk,

I was unable to post of Saturday due to a conflict with work. To keep you interested and to let you know some of the other things that i am working on.  While still searching for more material for wargaming, I came across a photo of the book cover "Unremembered Empire".  Specifically this photo is interesting as we usually don't find clear photos of  Primarchs or of City Scapes, and this one has both.

I find the ideas of architecture in the far future quite enthralling.  Below you will find a number of photos of buildings I constructed using pink foam and the Imperial Sector buildings as a base.

 This one is a warehouse with a scratch built thunderbolt crashing through the wall.  Painting will begin this weekend, and i will be sure to post more photos as I go.

 Below is the apartment block, or Hab-Block if you will.  The design comes from a concept sketch that was drawn for the game Dawn of War II.

 
And finally, the work office of the Administratum.  More photos to follow this weekend.

Happy Wargaming.

Cheers,

IP theft or am i just a jerk?

So i'm not trying to be a dick, okay yeah i am, but i'm justified.

I designed the template for this Marauder bomber back in the summer of '08. It was posted to a yahoo site, where gamers share scratchbuilt templates. I made a couple of them, but i was just giving back to the community. And today i was looking at another forum that has lots scratch built models. Work in Progress is a great site for all this kind of stuff.

What i'm ticked about is the fact that this guy is building my plane, and didn't give me cred for it.

My name is on it. so all i'm looking for is a bit of credit. is that too much to ask?

Then again, i did my own form of IP theft, so i can't be too picky. lol
