Sunday a day of Tinkering!

I spent the day tinkering around, I needed to fix up the molding for my windows, and I wanted to do some minis as well. So I started to paint up the GZG trikes. In the back you can see my Orc Boyz on their bikes, looking for a fight.

Then I got the idea of working on some terrain, and want to copy others with the electrical box buildings. The only problem is I have no bitz to attach to them. So I was off to make me some building bitz.

First I needed a door, so I made a door, then a mold, then a copy of the door in the mold. I used plastic card and made the door in three layers. The door is in two parts, I did that to make it look more real!

Then I needed more bitz, and got to work on them. So I took a turret hatch put some screen in it and I have a vent. I also did the same for a shield. The last bit is a hatch cover, I am just going to use as is. I did not make molds of these yet, but will. I have one more hatch cover that I forgot to take a photo of.

So Next I got to work on a building. I placed the door on, a left over radar thingy, some card stock around for texture (yes it is crooked), a drinking straw for a vent pipe. You can not see in the photo but I put some screening over one of the wire inlets in the back. Also the light blue circle on top of the photo, is a water bottle cap. I put some putty in the center, then pressed screen in it for texture. I want to cut it out for another grid cover.

That is it for now.

PS, I filled the holes, sanded and primed my window molding too. They are ready to be re-installed on the windows.

Good week for me.

Well I had Monday off for Presidents day, and I was recovering from a bad head cold, so what better than to go shopping. My wife has let me buy my self a new toy, and I have not been able to buy a new toy for 8 years (that is how old my oldest is). By new toy I mean a computer, by computer I mean a tablet, by tablet I mean a ASUS Eee Transformer. Man this hing is cool, and tons of fun. Now for people who know me I am a total computer geek, and I have not gotten a new computer in years. See heaving kids means no toys for me. Also I am a PC tech for a big Pharma company, so no new computers is tough for me. I have spent the last few years building systems out of old hand me down parts.

The second great part of the week is when I got my shipment from the UK. It is the GorkaMorka lot I won on eBay. In the box was 2 War Trukks, 2 War Traks, 1 War Buggy, 2 metal Nobz, 2 metal Spanners, 3 metal Yoofs, about 20 plastic boyz, 3 boyz on the trees, about 4 or 5 boyz in parts, a ton of small bitz like guns, and extra arms, a small pile of vehicle bitz like gas cans, and plates. also some extra drivers, and gunners for vehicles. So I spent the other night taking all my bitz, and the new bitz and placing them in a new bigger bitz box. Now I am so over whelmed when it comes to GorkaMorka, I do not know ware to start. So I have placed my female orks in the dip can to strip off their paint. I guess I will work on my little girl's mob.

Here is my new pile of stuff, and the photos were taken with my new tablet, then uploaded to picasa,

The trukks, and unmade trak, buggy, and boyz.

Sorted boys, and bitz, also I have a trak in here.
