The untold story heheh I have a couple of guys (from the armoured infantry set) on back of track (not in pics though), one is offering cigarettes to the other guy.

I had thought to give it the Vietnam feel and it was supposedly dope. Later a friend that knew the difference, said Leslie marijauna joints are NOT that big.

I had no idea what a joint looked like heheh.

Yep Ross, and I have hmm I think 4 sets of the figures and two of the M577 vehicles too.

Actually in Steel Panthers terms I likely have 1000 points worth of elite military miniatures figures

I could field quite the miniatures battle with them.

There is a lesson to be learned here people.

Don't do drugs, or smoke anything for that matter, don't drink unless it is offered to you free from a buddy, avoid owning a car (and a license and insurance and gas costs and repairs), and get married so you don't spend a fortune on dating.......

...... and you can own hundreds of models hundreds of military videos, hundreds of expensive books, scores of expensive wargames (including everything ever made for ASL) a nice computer with a hi speed connection, lots of power tools, all kinds of silly hobbies like expensive anime, pound after pound of chocolate, and generally enjoy all the hobbies you want heheh.

Contrary to popular belief, cars are not always vital, and well yes wives have a tendency to produce children, that can become interesting ways of using money.
But hmmm 200.00 on a weekend to maybe get lucky for a few hours, or just assume you only get to keep enough money to indulge your hobbies, and enjoy your wife as often as she allows it (can't speak for you guys, but my wife is veeeeeeery generous hehe). And kids if done right, are the most rewarding hobby out there.

Birds - birdwatching, I mean. That's my lifeblood and nawadays practically the only thing I do on the daytime. And you can add interest on ecology, zoology, etology and practically everything handling nature and biology into that. I can swear I'm the only one here.
Partying, of course.
Movies - especially war movies.
Books and history, of course... This seems a bit unsurprising around here. Some interest on daily world politcs also.
And finally the second most important: Music. I play piano and keyboard in my band(s), listen to practically everything and also make something of my own.
I used to model, but skipped that. Also, I rode horser for a long period, but quitted some time ago. Here in Finland it's quite girlie thing to do, but all the really good riders are men.

Nice work, Ross!

Ross,

I like also transformations like that one, made for a Warhammer 40K Eldar motojet pilot (not finished):

First the "before" pic...

... and then of course, the "after" one...

I must say that as model maker, I dislike the quality of the plastic of GW figures (remenber the 1/72 and 1/32 Airfix soldiers: it's the same. Good for play. Bad for model working...)

Ross Moorhouse · Post by **Ross Moorhouse** » Sat Nov 02, 2002 11:26 am

The soft plastic that is used in these figures is mainly done for the safety of children.

The last time I played with my Airfix soldiers most of them died from the home made flamethrower I had. Aero fuel for control line planes shwo does burn quick...

Ross,

I understand perfectly that soft plastic is more secure for kids: when my son was younger, as he liked to observe/dismount all what falled in his hands, every toy was potentially dangerous...

Fortunately he's more quiet now, just putting my cars out of the way on Formule Dice; shooting down my aircrafts on Airforce; burning my T-34's on SPWAW... and my entire armies on Warlords III or Warhammer 40K

Sometimes I find he's really aggressive; sometimes I find me becoming old...

I just remain better at chess.

Like you, some of my Airfix soldiers were victim of fire. It was the time I bought some aircraft kits especially to play with the HO figures (with a friend, we found that a burning kit was extremely "realistic" during our games...), in the sand my father bought for some work to do at home. He was really not happy when he founded (sometimes that happened!) some little soldiers in the maçonry
