    Great work again, but the finish flag on the axe is too neat for orcs.. in my opinion it would be better if just a few blocks are done and the rest is just a big smear of black and white as he just didn't give a crap about the pattern anymore :D

    Those forgeworld models are incredible sculpts, matched up with your amazing paint job these models are gorgeous! The shaman makes me laugh and I love the shades of green coming out of him!
    Grimgor looks fantastic! Gums teeth and tongue are perfect, and I love how I can pick out every dent and ding on his armour!

    Thanks, I'm making a Jungle/sci fi board atm, got around 12 terrain projects going at once, some are just kits but quite a few are scratch built, my wife says it's my second job.

    Kids can perfectly be integrated in the hobby if they reached the age of three years... ;) just keep some models for them to painting or some stuff to glue together and don't expect too perfect results... Mother will be pleased to see them spending some time with daddy and the kids at this age love it when they (think that they) can help daddy a lot! ;)

    I can't wait to see them! I've just been browsing through the whole gallery whilst waiting for some renders, and I have to say, you have some truly inspiring stuff! I hope to one day ascend to your level, just the bases alone make me want to rush out and find more stuff instead of just texture paint and grass XD


    And regarding the conversation...I feel sorry for my dad. I'm sure I destroyed many a good model in my time XD

    Wow that Orc fort is coming along very nicely. Your terrain building skills are definitely top notch.

    Oh - don't get me started on the kid thing...:confused:

    Now that we have the quads, my wife is asking if I can sell some off and bring in some extra money! We're not even that hard-pressed! :rolleyes:
