Nerd alert! The shitty one-man mail order operation finally sent me my damn German dry transfers. For 8 bucks in shipping, you think they coulda gotten the three
sheets of fucking paper across the USA in under three weeks. But well...yeah. So I spent the evening cursing my sausage-like fingers, lining up turret numbers, and rubbing Baltic Crosses on lil' vehicles. Looking now, I totally forgot to add the MG 42s onto the Hanomags. For scale purposes, the tiny dudes are glued onto pennies. Command Sdkfz 251/10 and Late War Panzergrenadier Platoon Command above.
Sdkfz 251/1 and Panzergrenadier Squad 1 with Panzerschreck above.
Sdkfz 251/1 and Panzergrenadier Squad 2.
Sdkfz 251/1 and Panzergrenadier Squad 3.
Hetzer Tank Destroyer and an Alt-WWII German Walking Tank type thing I bashed toghether from a Maschinen Krieger model and spare tank bits. I'd like to do a few more.

The title of the post is not "¡Achtung Nerdenwannen!"? FAIL!
Murph, I fully expect some video game/actual German translation on this shizzness.
Nerd!
-jealous.
Does Jess know about your freakish nerdness?
Hey wait a minute...
I think you're pulling my leg there with that robot thing.
I know the Germans invented tons of stuff that we still use today, but I think you were wrong. That thing was clearly made by the Japs.
Duh
Well Laura...if she didn't know by now there's really something wrong. Ty's like The King of Nerds.
Ty...you need to weather those AFVs! Then the decals will sit back a bit and be that much more rad.
Nice work. Nerd King.
20mm British thirst for German blood. Nice Jun-mans! Bring up the PIAT!
more comments to follow (fear not Stu) however Cairo those are most crucial...I'm sitting at my desk singing right now:

That was like watching a menacing Lord of The Dance.
I'll get to weathering the decals Lobot. Jeeze...
You better!
Always a critique from that robot kid...
Your German nerd splendor caused me to shed a single tear for by boxed-away Canadians. Someday, eh!
Murph: Heh. Quint is dope in that flick. Still, it's no Zulu... or Shaolin Mantis!
Lobot: You should talk, waiting on those Ranger Class Starships for the gallery.
Speaking of nerdery, let's start getting a roll-call together for Gen Con 09 so I can start planning on reserving some rooms. E-mail me at the usual spot.
Ahem...Curren...if I OWNED a model of the Ranger class, I'd post it.
Ty knows I'm just jabbin' at him. He likes to weather shit. It pleases him greatly. Just you watch...he'll post a new pic or 2 in no time flat.
PS - Ty. I love you.
PPS - Nice photography by the way. New camera? Or just new lighting and backdrop?
"...if I OWNED a model of the Ranger class, I'd post it."
Yes Mr. Roboto, I know this. I know you're just funnin' the Eye-talian. Still this does not abate my desire to see a finely painted Ranger Class Starship in the gallery. Shall I have to purchase you one? Mayhap I should open the packaging too, so you don't have to bruise your delicate artist fingers? Hmmmmmm? **command line alpha - engage**
I'd like to request a key for your frequent commenters. For example:
Readwright=Aimee(Met at UD)
That type of thing.
Cohen=Hairy old Cohen (Bon vivant and former GW cog in the machine)
Stuart Spengler/Speller/Tom Araya=Stuart, former co-worker, former roommate, berater, jack of all trades, master of none, lead bass in Cokken, vokills and samples in Viking Funeral.
Murphy = Tron
Catcher of feelings, slayer of brown liqours, possesser of the hot hand, buyer of white babies and banana cognac, master of the clickity-clack, and european football fiend.
I almost forgot unrepentant face-folder.
There is no way Murphy=Tron, that is totally some Tron < Murphy as the power of Tron is infinite and beautiful.
Actually replace that < with a >... (stupid comment box telling me my html tag is broken, YOUR tag is broken)
Chris Horse == loquacious Finocchiaro consort.
or == Joe Hawkins, king of the skins.
"Catcher of feelings, slayer of brown liqours, possesser of the hot hand, buyer of white babies and banana cognac, master of the clickity-clack, and european football fiend."
I CAN'T STOP LAUGHING AT THIS.
Stu, for your reading pleasure my comments in Germany:
Oh mein! Sie sind alle Schmiere, besonders das Supernaziroboter deathmachine. Nicht mit Cohen' verwechselt werden; s-Nazitodesraubmaschine.
That is all for now...stay tuned for our next scheduled broadcast at 3am.
Deathmachine? German rules.
Beezer = ty's favorite family living abroad
you got Stu...it should really be:
Todesmaschine
Ty=Ty.
Just the other ty, from Chicago.
I met my doppleganger at a Gamesday years ago when I worked for gw.
Lovers ever since.
I leave the internetz unattended for a 24 hour cycle and all heckola breaks loose.
I'm surprised half these goons replied to your request, former Ms. Mackitintherear.
And Ty should start using Chi-Ty or Blondie. I'm beginning to get confused as well!
How about you call yourself red hat instead!
I am no blondie.
No we fight to the death to settle this.
