1 set of extra bazookas 10 No. (Yes I wanted 10 Bazookas).

Bonus items thrown in to the deal for zip. (This gets good!)

2 x 2 1/2 Ton US GMC trucks.
2 x Sdkfz 250 Half tracks (Clean)

Good aquisition.. I’m thinking of converting the Chevrolet to a captured german vehicle of sorts.

  1. Sheesh you don’t stop once you’re onto something do you. That does sound like a a good deal depending on how much it set you back. Nice grab bag.

  2. Umm well actually I’m having a few mood swings of late… Mr Potter can attest I was this close (shows a seven mm gap between fore finger and thumb) to buying an X – Box.

    SO being a little manic means I am buying shit I don’t really need but it is part of my master plan… my models will eventually be stored in theliving room instad of my bedroom.. we call this the “Living room”

    You would have noticed latley I have been a bit curt too.. my appologies.. I have already had to appologise to more than ten peopel her at work because I have been very quik to temper when they piss me off.

    But hey… “can you play with madness, while staring into a crystal ball?”

    Chevrolet truck does look awesome…

  3. And yet, you didn’t by an xbox. Pity.
    Meh, I didn’t really notice, sorry. I’m not well tuned to that kinda thing and even if I do notice it doesn’t really bother me.
    Yeah the Chevy’s look nice. I cleaned up and assembled my Pak40s last night. I’ll undercoat them but I think I might go back and paint some of james 40k orks for a break before trying to finish off the FJ.

  4. I think your last comment warrente a post on on your Pak 40’s and some pis of them before primer paint application…. just because you can.

    Yeah… travelling to Timaru this weekend. So It would have been remis of me to buy a X box at this stage. I still would like to. But I was getting a a bit Hypomania and followed a depression.. added to some bad hayfever symptoms which make you feel like crap anyway… hasn’t been a good fortnight really.

    Two nights in the greenstuff and the flock and paint is just slewing off all buy itself. This guy didn’t prime his minis before painting… but the plastic bases are primed in black.. wierd.

  5. Guys? LOL it’s almost like you expect Potts to be reading this, even more unlikely that he would respond.
    Anyway how was Timaru? Nathaniel? (and no you don’t need to answer that in a public blog…)
    I haven’t been doing much, a lot of work mainly. On the painting front I have as of last night just finished 5 more 40k orks for James. Will post pictures maybe this week.

  6. Well I pt all my stuff away about a week ago as we were expecting vistors, Which included a new mum and baby. Only htey were so darn tired with said newborn that they politley declined the luncheon.
    So we all went rafting on the Clutha river instead. SImon said they rafted the Mataura last time… which was pparently a hoot. We rafted from clyde to Alexandra. Took 2 hrs and two six packs of beer and a bag of cookies. It was acruise ship … no white stuff.

    Anyways .. my paint table now gets lots of sunshine.. so I need a new possie so as not to have my paint dry before I dip the paintbrush to the pot. Might get a desk for my room.

    Still on the HMG teams. Have the jakets painted and flesh, If I rembember right?

    My Home PC is down,,, downloaded a “suggested codec” for the latest Caprica episode and it no has a black screen after bios and Dos boot. I can F8 it but even safe moe is blank screen. I may need to run the hard drive on another computer.

  7. Wet palette, wet palette, wet palette!

    Ouch sounds nasty, a codec update shouldn’t do that.

  8. Oh yes it is …. I’m so cross at my self for actually installing it!

    Have you got anything like a boot disk? My last boot disk was on a 3 1/4 inch floppy disk.

  9. yeah sure, however fixing something like that up can be quite tricky. I can send you a boot cd if you want though. Your original windows media should be bootable if you have that.

  10. Well you have a page displaying your Flames of War Gallery (where all your flames of war pics are) and a page displaying your grenadier stock take (with all the pictures linked from photo bucket). I’ve renamed the later to FoW German, which isn’t perfect but I’m lacking imagination at the moment, feel free to rename it.
    As for me I don’t have two galleries for warhammer really. I have warhammer and 40k and warhammer can be broken up into the various armies.

  11. Yes you do… the column isn’t wide enough for the 40k writing so wraps into the document without a background colour…. I did not notice that.

  12. odd, doesn’t appear that way on my machine, perhaps it’s a resolution thing. care to send me a screenshot by mail?
