I'm really burnt out... of the hopelessness... of children at the bottom abusing each other... of parents abusing their children... of calling CPS (Child Protective Services)... of working with a lame boss... I ordered pizza for the last day... The next job will be better.   dafrca _________________ "Every Man is a But Spark in the Darkness"               - Cities of Death, page 59 Come fight me, if you dare...... http://dd-janks.mybrute.com

Hi Everyone, I'm watching Pendragon's "War Of the Worlds" film right now and am amazed at all that the studio accomplished with a small budget and limited means. There is a lot of CGI animation and the actors are ones I've never heard of. However, the film better captures the original flavor of the H.G. Wells novel than any other I've ever seen. Victorian England is very well captured and the Victorian mindset is very well conveyed. So far I'm very pleased with it... especially since it only cost me $8.00 USD at Walmart! The bad notes are that there is no insert in my DVD package and very little in the way of bonus features. No subtitles either... No audio options either... There is a trailer, an H.G. Wells biography feature and a gallery of images for bonus features. Overall, I'm very happy with the film and am taking a bathroom break (For the girlfriend... ) at the moment. Shabbat Shalom, Maksim-Smelchak. _________________ 6mm Sci-fi: http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/6mm ... nWarGames/ My Personal Blog: http://6mm-minis.blogspot.com/

Hi Dafrca, *** Dafrca: Do you have toys on your table? *** Yes, I think that toys and miniatures go together very well assuming you check that the toys have a look compatible with your miniatures. Most of my 6mm naval collection is composed of toy boats that were in a good scale compared to my GHQ Vietnam Riverine models. Add a few ventilators and weapons and... Voila = instant navy! *** Dafrca: Did you repaint them or just use them as is? ***

It depends on the toy. I paint many of them, but leave others in stock form.

Most of my Micro Machines Star Wars fighters will never see paint!

*** Dafrca: If you repainted, did you do anything "special" before painting or just primer and paint? ***

I often modify toys by adding detail elements from my bitz box. A few BFG plastic turrets and 28mm 40k exhaust pipes can really spruce up a basic toy.

*** Dafrca: Did you change them in any way to make them less "toy" like? ***

Sometimes, I'll add detail elements to tie in the toy with the setting I want it for.

For instance, I recently found what I think is a Micro Machines army base piece for $0.49 USD in a Good Will toy bin and have plans to add a 28mm plastic 40k eagle accessory to make it into an IG base.

Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.
