So far I suck, but I'm still figuring the game out. There's a lot to learn.

Well - I'm still knackered from yesterday - so I'm going for Phantom Leader now...I LOVE that game and soooo want the deluxe version - but August is an expensive month (though it is Mrs Dredd's birthday this month...I think that would be a splendid gift!)

I totally went off my plan and ended up playing some Klingon Academy and Imperialism 2 yesterday. Oops!

Yeah, I read that over in the forums. I have no idea what you did, but you clearly pissed off the Qa-Qa and Jellies something awful!

I know it's not strictly speaking gaming - or even computer gaming - but in terms of relaxing today, this is what I was working on (it's been a looooong drawn out project!)

My Trumpeter 1/35th scale Challenger II - I keep putting it off because it's so fiddly - AND I wasn't at all sure of the colour - but I have a Sea Harrier waiting in the wings which I want to get on to - and like I am I couldn't possibly move onto it until I have completed this!

Uff-da JD. That looks...involved. Good luck putting it together!

I must stop reading this thread. The temptation to make / paint a kit is almost too great to withstand when JD posts piccies. Its been years since I did any models and there are just so many good 'uns on the market to choose from.

Note Dredd's can of alcohol standing by before he begins...

bob48 · July 28, 2013, 02:12:00 PM

..yeah, that's for when he paints camo patterns ;)

undercovergeek · July 28, 2013, 02:12:21 PM

oh, i thought that was the wifes, or the daughters!!!

bob48 · July 28, 2013, 02:13:44 PM

Geek! How very naughty of you.

JudgeDredd · July 28, 2013, 02:15:32 PM

lol geek
Yeah...this model is fiddly

Gusington · July 28, 2013, 02:18:48 PM

HA touche 'Geek

I've been thinking of getting into modeling again, but I have nowhere to put the damn things when they're finished!

Anyway, I played the heck out of Skyrim last night. Cleared out the Blackreach dungeon and fought Alduin, opening up Act III of the main quest. Sadly, I seem to be powerless to develop a new character- I'm creating yet another Spellsword-type fighter/mage again, in full plate armor specializing in conjuration magic. ::)

My goal is to complete the main quest and then move right into Dragonborn, unless I get sidetracked by doing Dawnguard one more time.
