Celestial Plasticanum

Got me a Celestial Hurricanum and the only thing that annoys me about is is the crap framing on it. Trying to cut the pieces from the frame shows poor design as some of the more thinner parts just snap in half. Out off all the frames I've cut, only these frames have had this problem.

Still, a little glue n touch up should sort this out.........hopefully.

Another Bronies Video

Make sure you activate captions to get English subtitles. A small look into the minds of a few Bronies.

Age of Empires Online

So I decided to play a little Age of Empires Online and I gotta say, it ain't half bad. I chose Celt's as my civilization and am enjoying it so far. Admittedly, you do need to purchase a premium pack for the full experience, but considering I'm only level 9 so far, I'm not in a major rush.

Derpy/Ditzy Vids

If this doesn't bring a tear to your eye I don't know what will.

In all seriousness, I love this character and nothing really shows how good this character can be then PierceSmoulder's channel. The Doctor Whooves and Assistant episodes are nicely done and the first episode has even been animated by others.


As of yet, I have no idea if Dinky will appear in the series, but I can only hope she can be added in (that and a little romance between Ditzy and the Doctor), but meh...that's just me.

Skryre Skaven Warlord

He only needs a few touch ups to some green stuff parts, but this little ripper is finally finished (as far as converting goes anyway).
I had originally intended for him to be on a warlitter, but this Bonebreaker option was one that had constantly plagued me.
The weapon is one that I have been wanting to make since they released the 8th Edition warhammer book as it's artwork clearly shows a Skaven made chainsword. That's right, Skaven weaponry is almost on-par with 40k weapons (with the exception that it has about 50/50 chance to blow it's wielder up). The pole is a Stormvermin weapon with it's blade replaced by a chaos chainsword. I did attempt to copy the spike design, but unfortunately it proved to irritating at the time.
A variety of parts were used for this conversion, the most obvious being the body of a Khorne Juggernaut and the head, tail and feet of the Necromunda 'The Caller' rat beast. Being of Clan Ektrik, there are some electrical prods n outlets (along with lightning features) on him for a real shock. Liquid warp-fuel injectors add that mad science touch to it.
Overall, I'm happy with the way this conversion turned out. Can't wait to start painting this guy.

Easter


It was bound to happen.

What happened?

Again, another period of time without an update. Alas, it seems Australian laws don't really protect you against violent neighbours and have been helping my family with their moving and cleaning and so as such have had little time to work on much else.

That said, my halt on the Empire project my have come to an end with the new Empire rules. But that's not whats got me, oh no. The reason is that fantastic model, the Celestial Hurricanum. As a fan of both Lore of the Heavens and techno-sorcery, this model is just a must have for my collection.
