Well I've got to say this week has been Feckin terrible. The lovely lady Brummie's car broke down on Monday morning. Once a mechanic looked at it the cambelt had gone so £500/600 to fix the car is now scrap metal as its more to fix it than the cars worth. What is more annoying is we shelled £150 to get it through its M.O.T 3 weeks prior ffs! So piggy banks and savings emptied and new car acquired (well new to us anyway) on Wednesday after spending most the week trawling all the car sales sites and used car forecourts. So thinking great! things can calm down a bit my own company car a Vauxhall Insignia broke down on the motorway Thursday lunch time and has been in the garage since! Feckin Cars!!!!!!!
Anyway rant over finished off a few bits and bobs here and there over the week. Another Killer B Games Geezers Royale sculpt this time TNT Thompson. I think he makes a good commando leader or action hero type. There are rumours of more troops similar to him but with wool caps rather than the balaclavas on the way from Killer B Games. I think he would make a good terrorist as well. I can't help but think he looks a little like Beachhead from G.I Joe in appearance.
The camo is based on the 80s DPM colours but not so much the pattern. Painting wise I've done very little this week. I did get a single Banished Knight for the Relics game finished though he needs varnishing before I can add all the tufts and other foliage to the base.
So TFIF! Have a good weekend folks Brummie out!

Great looking mini Simon.
ReplyDeleteHe'd definitely look like a terrorist in darker colours. Pretty versatile. Sorry to hear about your car troubles, when they go wrong they can go really wrong.
Cheers mate. I am sitting with a cup of tea on Saturday morning cleaning and prepping models and chilling :)
DeleteSorry to hear about your car woes Simon - the joys of motoring apparently! Hopefully things will settle down once your company car returns home. That's a cracking mini you've painted there and yet again I find you tempting me with yet another company and range I was oblivious too!! Please stop :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks mate. I will certainly get some more there priced reasonably well.
DeleteOof! Cars are evil things.
ReplyDeleteTNT Thompson could also be a fine (If painted in greys) Action Force Firefly as well.
Yes thats a good idea! Yes cars are evil!
DeleteBloody cars! Great painting, mind you; the DPM, in particular, is spot on!
ReplyDeleteThanks very much!
DeleteCars can be a real pain. Lovely commando or should I say terrorist?
ReplyDeleteThanks well thats the trick can be either :)
DeleteYep, cars can be a pain in the....well, you know. Still, the headaches haven't blighted your creative juices- this mini is a beauty!
ReplyDeleteCheers Dude! Yeah its been a frustrating and tiring week this one glad its over.
DeleteSorry to hear about the cars. Deep commiserations!
ReplyDeleteThe figure looks great specially the trousers. And be he a bank robber a terrorist or an SAS wanna-be I know you'll find as good home for him. If not I can email you my address!
Thanks Clint. Yes with a different paint job could be tons of stuff. I shall get you one and paint him up and send him down!
DeleteI'm really sorry to hear about your car problems. It is tales like yours that make me glad I don't drive.
ReplyDeleteVery nice figure and very well painted.
Cheers Bryan. Its one of those things and very unfortunate all to happen in the same week.
DeleteHola Amigo
ReplyDeleteLos coches......ese pozo sin fondo que tenemos,cuando se ponen a dar guerra ....
A me gusta la mini ,tiene mucho juego
UN SALUDO
Thanks J.d yes he has lots of use. Cars yes enough said........Bottomless pits indeed sometime.
DeleteA great job mate, very splendid indeed, and I totally agree with the beachhead vibe - and funnily enough, Beachhead may be among my top 5 or even top 3 GI Joe characters. :)
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about the car troubles, hopefully things a back on course ASAP. :)
Cheers dude. Yes Beach head was one of my favourites along with Flint and Shipwreck.
DeleteWell we have new car and mines back outside the house after having a sensor replaced on the exhaust. So i'm hoping after this weekend things can calm down and get back on track a bit.
Glad to hear the positive outcome. Hopefully some gaming soon? :)
DeleteAin't cars wonderful? TFIF, indeed.
ReplyDeleteOn the positive side of the ledger, Mr. Thompson looks great. Love the camo.
Cheers very much. Yes enjoying a chilled weekend and hoping next week is better. Its a four day week due to Monday being a public holiday so its off to a good start already!
DeleteWent through the vehicle chaos myself! Always seems to happen when $ and schedules are tight too. Very nice figure though, he would be a good Beachhead, or Firefly too!
ReplyDeleteYes indeed its never convenient! Its more annoying that there was no warning signs it just went!
DeleteQuite a versatile figure. Looking forward to seeing what the troopers look like when they get released.
A great new character, Simon. Love the colors and the stitch working on the coat and mask. Bummer about the car expenses - something I wish I didn't have to depend on so much too.
ReplyDeleteThanks Dean. Yes we're kind of stuck without them sometimes a bit sad really when you think about it but work and needs must!
Deleteawsome looking model love his camo pants :)
ReplyDeleteCheers Dude!
DeleteTerrific looking guy, the camo is perfect.
ReplyDeleteThanks very much mate.
