So your mercanaries are going to be getting the bus to wherever they have a contract ?  ;)
and now all i can see is a cross between on the buses, and the wild geese,   or possibly the big bus and the wild bunch   :lol:  :rolleyes:  :o

Queen Vic and maid are waiting for flock to be applied,
as are the 4 re worked GZG armed Hell's Belles that were hanging round,  ive also got the similar figs for both of them out and in the same position of bases painted and waiting for flock,  they weren't done before as i didn't have a set scheme for things, so were painted and then on either undercoat painted bases or just bare metal bases if they were painted prior to me constantly basing
6 more figures painted and ready and  13 more based  :thumbsup:

You do realise that given the names/types of some of your figures you are on a watch list somewhere ?  :angel:  ;D

Aren't we ALL on such lists anyway?  :o
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

as Kit put  almost certainly,  and probably multiple ones,  i hang round here, with all the free thinkers, and i used to be on a shadowrun group as well.

They can't watch all of us, all of the time, surely?  :unsure: *

There again, that's what the algorithms and 'AI' is for...

getting paint on the hardwire troupe from the foundry street violence range, again its a duplicate pack, but the stances make them hard to modify, so im just concentrating on making the paint schemes different enough, ive added a slightly chopped up privater press steam mage, the coils that ran from the ( removed) steam powered backpack generator to the 2 flintlock pistols  have gone and the hands have been replaced by one holding a silenced mac 10 and the other holding a MP5. ( cant find a picture of the un moded figure sorry)
so still gently tootling along   :thumbsup:

got another long term paint job finished.
the 3D printed Battletech Longbow Mech   close enough pic for me.   https://stickurama.com/products/lgb-alt-pose-longbow-alternate-battletech-mechwarrior-miniatures?srsltid=AfmBOopXUhABKhv8tNP9AzsDda-Q9HW4kV5ooqBlSz4kLOzLZbtJS45s

Ive been painting it for several years on and off, and never quite felt it was finished, 
after adding a few black lines and marks with a rotering pen tonight, I feel its done.  Otherwise it will never be finished ( Perfection is the enemy of finished).  brown is on the base for  covering any paint splashes,  will be varnished tomorrow as well.   :thumbsup:  ;D

finished the last of the recent slum scum,  fast lucys street girls, another 5 figures and the others of the same pack, that id done before, and not flocked the base of are done as well  :thumbsup:
the will be varnished a little later when the PVA glue has dried.

116 figures  4 pieces of scenery

im cleaning up some Crooked Dice Temporal vagabond figures,   https://crooked-dice.co.uk/collections/temporal-traveller    for the line they come from.  Its 14 different figures  but i have duplicates of the plucky assistant and  Victorian adventures packs so 18 figures when i get them going.
The duplicate plucky assistant  i think will get some green stuff added to lengthen the skirt,  and possibly go for longer hair at the back of the figures,  both are conversions that are in my skill range, but look very effective..  dont know regarding the  adventurers ,  2 of them come with alternative heads so it may just be that simple.
I have to admit if i wanted to bulk out the rest of the range it wouldn't be cheap, as wile i was getting them as they were released mumble years ago, i haven't recently  so  i recon it would be between a dozen and 20 figures to do so.... and thats before i get some of the others that they do, that catch my interest and humour.  ;D  :o
