DSA Toy Theater.

Well Rage, that's like having someone drive a car into a pedestrian and saying it's the pedestrian's fault lol.

It would if the pedestrian was in the middle of the street on a green light. In other words jaywalking

That wasn't the case though...it was red for everyone and I looked both ways before you came out of nowhere going 100 mph and then you left the scene. It was a hit and run...guess that's why we haven't been on the same team since lol.

But Driver had the same experience. You guys need to stop blaming the victims. It's like when Jim tossed a nade in UC2 that killed his whole team, but it must have been the team's fault lol. It's all fun and games until it happens to you...

Daz got a bonus from work, so she told me that she's going to take me up to Knoxville to Toys R Us so I can get some more props to finish up this project, and a few more DSA toy projects that I'm working on for you all.

I do love GIMP, but I really do wish it wasn't soooo damned complicated to learn.

I got a larger new table to hold the sets just a few days ago (Thanks Mom !!!), and I should have the Paypal account set up by next week. Yay !! :D

Boss, I do wish you lived closer..LOL !. I may need to take my piccy's and send them to you for help. If so, I'll PM you. It's just taking so looooong for me to learn GIMP. It's like trying to learn nuclear physics with just a simple understanding of basic math without a manual.

Yeah, this proggy is that complicated.

I can't belive I missed that lol.

Des, if you need help just let me know. I know what you're going through. GIMP was the first graphics program I learned and it does take some serious patience because of all the extra steps involved in doing the simplest things. Once I got my hands on Photoshop, I couldn't believe how much easier it was in comparison. For example, if I wanted a gradient overlay for text it would take about 3 minutes to get it right in GIMP...but took 3 seconds in PS because they have an option for it and I never looked back since lol.

@Mui: Just picture the whole team spawning in, then a random nade killing everyone including Jim...no wonder the other team was able to win after that lol.

[Kamui]

Damn i'm imagining that right now, sounds like something Des should make in his future Toy Theater installments.

I've just learned about Warhammer. I purchased some Ork models. I'm officially a God damned nerd. But Orks are pretty bad ass looking. I need to buy paint and brushes.

[Light496]

Damn it Deslock, when is the next toy skit coming ?

[Deslock]

Zero, that doesn't make you a "nerd", it means you enjoy wartime tactical strategy games. I love WH40k, because it's like chess, only the pieces get to shoot laser cannons at each other. Hell, my army buddies and myself started playing this waaaay back in 1987.

I don't know if you saw it or not in my hobbies thread, I've been to two Golden Demon Cons, and took fourth place both times. out of literally thousands of miniatures. Which really pissed me off, since the man that did win at one told me after the judging that he truly felt I should've taken first place right to my face. But that's another different "bitter" story.
But Paul Sawyer; if by some bizarre way you ever get to read this...

I WILL ALWAYS DESPISE YOU. :-x

I know I do joke and kid a lot in my posts; but this one I truly feel, and I'm NOT joking.

I currently have an Ultrarmarines Army, Eldar "pirate" army, Ork's, a HUGE imperial guard, Chaos, Tyranid; and even a Sister's of battle army.

And I'm trying to play the vidya game, which I do believe you should try. It's kinda repetitive, but also shooty, chainsword bloody messy fun.
They just messed up on the Ork blood as it should be green, but the game's developers thought that green on green wouldn't show up good, so they made it red.
How the DSA didn't get on this game really suprises me. :



I stopped playing the tabletop game when all the hobby shops started to go out of business, because everyone was interested more in just playing video games, and Gouge, oops, I mean Games Workshop increased their prices by 300%. And that's no joke. It just became too expensive for the Mini's, at least for me.

If you want any painting tips, please feel free to ask me. I used to give many painting classes on painting Mini's, and I'd love to be of some help.
If you want, I can post up some piccy's of some of my Mini's for everyone to see.

My own personal Mini's, they are indeed my pride and joy.
I've been given offers, but I outright refuse to sell them. Ever.

I used to buy and paint Mini's for others to buy thru consignment, and painted groups of others for my customers. There were many times where I made enough money selling and painting Mini's, that it paid my rent.

I can say this with true honesty, without one bit of arrogance nor pride. I really mean this:

I have met and seen many miniature painters as good as myself, but I've never met anyone that I truly feel, or consider, that is better than me.
I'm not saying someone out there isn't better than me. I just haven't met them or seen their work yet. ;)

Damn it, now I'm going to have to post some piccy's. Heh...

But I do mean it Zero, I would love to give you some tips and tricks on painting Mini's. Once you get bitten by the Mini painting bug, it never leaves you. :)

Also, if you get the chance, buy or rent the movie. It rocks.



But I am jaded, I do luv me my Ultrasmurfs. ;)

And the new Halo movie is damn good also. Slow to begin, but overall, pretty damn good.

[Cottoinc]

Des, did you ever play any of the Dawn of War 40K games?. I liked them; I enjoyed playing as the Imperial Guard.

[Deslock]

Not really Cotto, but I do need to. I've watched all the Youtube videos on it.

Damn it Deslock, when is the next toy skit coming ?

Actually I've been working on this project for almost a year now. I figured rather than just put them up piecemeal, I'd rather wait and put them all up at once.
Right now the only thing that's holding me up is a few of the vehicles.

I have the following vehicles :

Little bird Heli
UH-1Y Venom transport Heli
VdV buggie
LAV-ad
M1128
Humvee
Quad bike
M1 Abrams
Camel.....heh.

What I need to finish is the following:

Dirt bike
Apache heli
Havoc heli
And the jets.

Weird crap like the Barsuk and such I'm not worried about. Most of the vehicles and figures I'm getting, is from the "Power Team Elite" series. And regrettably, they are mostly only released around the time for Christmas. On E-Bay and Amazon they are hella expensive, they usually sell for about 4X the original selling price.
Which means the Jets are usually retail priced aroung $25.00-$35.00 dollars are going for mad amounts online.

For example:

[ame="http://www.amazon.com/Power-Team-Elite-World-Keepers/dp/B00779SH2K/ref=sr_1_73?s=toys-and-games&ie=UTF8&qid=1377661017&sr=1-73&keywords=power+team+elite"]http://www.amazon.com/Power-Team-Elite-World-Keepers/dp/B00779SH2K/ref=sr_1_73?s=toys-and-games&ie=UTF8&qid=1377661017&sr=1-73&keywords=power+team+elite[/ame]

Yeppers, that's right, a jet that was originally priced around $25.00, they're trying to sell for $960.00. Now granted that's extreme, but most of the vehicles are priced waaaay too high. The transport Heli I bought retail for about $17.00, they're trying to sell it online for $88.97. Hell, even the little campfire set I bought for $5.00, they're selling online for $25.00.

I have to wait until I get lucky. I see now that the Apache is now selling for $27.00, that's only $2.00 more than the original selling price, So I might snatch that one up.

For the very life of me, I have absolutely NO idea why these toys are that damn rare and soooo expensive. But I am getting there, just piece by piece, when I can afford it. I had no idea when I started this project, that the prices for these toys for it would literally explode off the chart. But I don't want to use cheap ass toys, or crappy lookalike knock off's. I do have a few knock off's, but they are still workable. And I've still bought a large amount of props, figures, building sets for this project. I'm working on 3 completely different sets for this series.

DSA Battlefield 3/4
DSA ocean adventure. (No, I'm NOT telling the "official" name yet. ;) )
DSA RaTix/droid Adventure.

So I do promise you all, I have been busy with this. :)

With Battlefield Friends, they're lucky that they can replicate all these things through computer graphics. I have to find actual real life toy counterparts for them. But it's getting there, I promise.
Which isn't cheap for my broke ass.

[Light496]

nice cant wait it sounds exciting

[AmrcnZeR0]

I played most, if not all, of the dawn of war/ war hammer video games. My buddy really really got into it. But we never knew about the mini until like a month ago. I didn't kno they were customizable models. I thought u bought em and just painted pre made models.
