Today's Progress: 'Rollin

So now that the MKBF is done and primed, I'm in paint mode. I still have to finish the build on the two Kill Krusha tanks, but I'm working what is in front of me. I've got both Battle Wagons up past wash and I'm in the process of adding detail and blue/white spots. The Meka Dread is awaiting the same treatment.

Man, I'm going to need a lot of Enchanted Blue, Boltgun Metal, Devlin Mud and Badab Black...

Notes:
Added the Grots for fun, felt like they fit right there.
Will be adding support struts under the rocket mount.
The Grabbin Claw replaced the Reckin Ball because of how much more epic it looks.
The smoke stack is totally a result of Ms Rabbit's xmas gift... the Dremel Stylus.


I can't wait to see this painted and detailed out.

As promised, pics of the Devlin Mud Layer...

And then... putting it together before I add the detail paint:

As BigRed said... very Mad Max. Can't wait to put the blue on.

Oh, and a preview of the Mega Battle Fortress:

Today's Progress: Wash

I am a leaf on the wind...

Oh wait... wrong Wash.

I applied the Devlin Mud to the Meka Dread last night and it looks perfect. Next step will be to apply all the little details and random-ish blue patches.

No pictures today because I forgot to take them. Will have extra tomorrow.

Today's Progress: Painting Rust

While I haven't had a chance to work further on the KBF, I have gotten some basic painting done on the Meka Dread:

Primed black, then a coat of orange, then a coat of Boltgun Metal. This is a trick I picked up from GentleBen to simulate rusty parts. The next step will be to do a wash of Devlin Mud. Once that is set in, on comes the detailing and blue highlights for all the Deff Skull goodness.

The Mad Mek is back at work

With the Narrative at War Games Con approaching, the Mad Mek has gotten back to work:

Yes, it will have more and more Orky-ness added to it. But... the molestation of a once beautiful Imperial tank has begun...

"Because he treated me like a person"

The title of this entry says far too much. Seriously... how is it through most of my life I've either made friends with or gotten a date with a woman because I made her "feel like a person and not an object?"

The hell is that shit?

How is it that so many men go through their lives thinking that leering and cat calls will get you laid? It won't. You don't have to be smooth, you don't have to be suave. You just have to behave like a man and treat a woman like a person and not something you fap to on the interwebs.

Just because she has a vagina doesn't deny her humanity. I spent the entire weekend at Adepticon watching socially backwards gamer idiots leer over my best friend. It wasn't cool. Not even a little. She is a person, and a pretty damn cool one at that. Staring at her will not help you get a conversation, it will only make her uncomfortable around you. Also, it makes me want to get all big brother and start yelling at people to show a bit of respect.

Hell, at the last party I went to with the gorgeous Mrs Rabbit, I had to stand between her and creepy leering dudes. Just because she looks good doesn't mean you can opening gawk at her. That's just insulting, rude and in general really skeevy. Never mind the whole territorial instinct to get all "you looking at my woman?" and start some idiotic brawl. Don't make me do it damn it. Cause if you guys keep it up, someone is getting a beer bottle crammed in an uncomfortable place...

This post is more frustration than anything. I've known far too many women who I became close to simply because I treated them like a human being and not some object to be leered at.

Seriously... stop staring at a woman's ass or tits and learn to look her in the eye. It will get you far closer to the finish line than the obvious mental undressing. It is not just rude, but it won't get you laid. Have some class, behave with dignity and respect and you will be repaid in kind. Act like a childish leering ape and be prepared to be treated like one.

So to recap... behave with respect and don't stare... for all of us baby... cause I'm tired of having to pick up the slack for you losers.

Wait... on second thought... I have some of the best friends in the world and the best Girlfriend EVER because of idiots like you. Keep it up. Be complete tools and leave the quality Women for the Men who earn the right to say hello.
