Should be 95% by next weekend

Also just ordered €35 worth of old gi joe YELLOW guns from all sorts of different vehicles from 1986 to 2004 to bring just the right amount of yellow into the green.

The base is the 2009 Pit mobile HQ http://www.theterrordrome.com/wp-con...5/the-pit1.jpg

Pit holds a chopper on top

All the greens match well together and with the subtle yellows mixed in, it is just about a perfect balance for my tastes.

On a side note.... just got my 3 AIM troops in today I got in a trade from the state's(along with more hydra soldiers and a professor x) that I got for my spare Maria Hill. By the way, I am also army building S.H.I.E.L.D. and am just about broke, homeless and soon to be divorced if I keep carrying on this way.

I still need Sooooooo many MU figures and I just keeping buying the same (expensive) ones over and over and over. Need my head seeing to.

ukmu · 01-22-2014, 03:48 PM

A.I.M. have 7 troops now, want 8 total. Need just one more and a M.O.D.O.K. baf to finish and this vehicle (with guns and science stuff added)

It's Disney but looks cool...saw one at a charity shop for 3 quid and thought...that would look nice for MU but too bad that yellow doesn't go with anyone. Then a year later I am looking for one for A.I.M. on ebay

ukmu · 01-22-2014, 03:49 PM

Skrull

5 of the Avengers movie figures.... my brutes
6 MU figures... my foot soldiers (want 10 total)
Then a super skrull

I have this as their base

Sorry, I don't think Canadians count as 'filthy' colonials. Maybe just... grubby?

Where are the choppers and the mechs from?!

I'm really looking forward to seeing this with all the soldiers and the decals when it's done!

Forbidden Planet has sent me an email saying the UK release of the new MI will be 28th February.....

Also... instead of working today, I have been drawing Thanos. I will probably just sell it at deviantart.com My wife said I should do one comic drawing a week to sell and use that money to buy MU and MI.

Jackieboy · 01-23-2014, 08:18 AM

ill be very surprised if FP pull this off,they havent seen any good MU action since the baghead wave in my town,they couldnt get any of the last MU stuff,they are not stocking AMS2,AA or WS figures when places like smyths have them ahead of FP.i know FP liverpool are good suppliers but our man in liverpool has been low key this past while,so im not sure how they are fairing.

However I went into John Lewis and got Winter Soldier and Cap for 9.99 each.

Thanks for the heads up. Got Cap, Red Skull and Winter Soldier earlier.

ukmu · 01-23-2014, 12:01 PM

I believe FP will mess it up... but we will see.If it comes, great... I have a spare Wasp and a Grim Reaper. If they drop the ball... at least it didn't cost anything.

I have.never.pre-ordered from.them and was unaware of.their track record. Time will tell.

Jackieboy · 01-23-2014, 12:33 PM

ukmu · 01-23-2014, 12:52 PM

2. I will take a few shots of the Tower of Doom and the.skulls. Looks ace.... Just have.to take away the seats as.they give it away that MU is too small.
3. GI JOE.... the chopper is a SIGMA 6 DRAGONHAWK the mechs are GI JOE STEEL MARAUDER.
4. I can't wait to see it all done too!!!

ukmu · 01-23-2014, 12:53 PM

You have them done at Staples....

1st..go to eBay, buy some WATER-SLIDE PAPER from around £1.30 to £2.40 per sheet (depends if you buy 1 or 10)

2nd... make logo and size accordingly onto just about any form of memory, CD, memory stick, sd card...whatever works best for you.

3rd...Take the paper to a printer with LASER JET PRINTING capabilities. Print as many as will fit.

4th...watch "HOW TO APPLY WATER-SLIDE DECALS" on YouTube. PVA glue, razor, white vinegar and water.

I am 110% computer illiterate so I had a fellow collector and arker from the state's just make me some and send them to me for free. I got it good like that

I will ask him if he can post the pdf files in this forum. I have all sorts...mostly HYDRA and S.H.I.E.L.D. but all sorts.

For the BIG decals I found soft back Marvel magnets on eBay. I am cutting and gluing those. Even tiny HYDRA screen wipes for touchscreen tablets and smartphones... as tiny little cloth flags.

I may have a few decals to send to you if you need just a few as well....

Thanks for the info!

I passed on that Samsquanch, hoping Hasbro would release an offical one.

I was wrong lol.

Hasbro promised they would... but then they lie a lot so...

ukmu · 01-26-2014, 10:34 AM

I am uploading some HYDRA and Skrull pics in few. I will take some other pics tonight too.

Now if I can just work this photobucket thing I am in business.... off to YouTube to find out more.

Primacron · 01-28-2014, 01:09 PM
