@spev - meh, aye, seen the front too. I even read the article that goes with it.

Another thought for today: 1) She's almost exactly the same shape as a Kingdom Death model. One of the girly ones, obviously. Not one of the nob monsters.

Shield of Baal: today, oodles of new nids. Tomorrow: oodles of new SoB? I don't play either faction, but god those SoB players need plastic minis so bad I would do a wee happy dance out of pure empathetic sympathy.

Received three more battletech mechs on Thursday and been soaking them in acetone to remove the garish paintjob. Two are mostly decent but the third one is still half way with paint stuck all over the place. Any advice on how to remove that? (other than sandblasting, melting or smashing it to pieces :lol: )

@miguelsan, I use simple green in Japan, it works well at stripping water based paints without damaging metal or plastics :mrgreen:

Finished the solo campaign on Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare. Kevin Spacey, you bastard!
By the way, anyone else playing this? I'm on a PS4 if you wanna team up for some Multiplayer.

Also,a mysterious box from the States was delivered today, containing my next super secret project. The only hint I'll give you is that it only requires 3-5 models a side. :twisted:

Saw Interstellar last night. Long, but good. Bits of the message get a bit wonky, but some good performances and stunning visuals.

Kim Kardashian doesn't have a career; she's famous for being the friend of someone who's also famous for no reason and now for being married to someone famous. It doesn't matter if getting her arse out would be career suicide for anyone else.

@konrad: here's a quick how-to regarding pbucket photos.

You wrote: [ url]http://s1166.photobucket.com/user/Konra ... f.jpg.html[/url ]

in your post. (note: i added a space in the url tags to make em not be parsed by the pc.)

I can't access your photobucket account, obviously, so I will subsitute one of my own pics here to illustrate the necessary code. Here is the same code as you used, with one of my pics: (My photos filename is gibberish, as I upload automatically from my phone without naming files individually).

[ url]http://s84.photobucket.com/user/me_in_j ... b.jpg.html[/url ]

Now, I copied and pasted this address from my address bar, which is where I assume you got yours, too. That won't work, as Pbucket does not allow linking like that. What you need to do is click on the Library tab in photobucket, then click on Recent Uploads on the left hand side near the top. This will (hopefully) give you a page with a whole bunch of thumbnails on it. Each thumbnail should have a black bar at the bottom listing its name. below that bar there is a white space that says "IMG" and a wee txt box you can click on. Click on that box, and the required code will be placed in your clipboard automatically. Then, all you have to do is paste that into your naghammer post. It will look like this:

[ url=http://s84.photobucket.com/user/me_in_j ... b.jpg.html][ img]http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k20/m ... 945e3b.jpg[/img ][/url ]

and result in this:

And there we go. I did not get any black bars under the pic in the library, but I could click on the individual pic's upper right "gear" get the share options and copy the image url. Cheers.
