Fine by me @sump dweller not sure if you'll be able to model my bloated hunched terrian building obsessed form though!

Well, I don't know what you look like, so my plan was to build something that is based around the image that your username conjures up - you know, a guy wearing a white shirt and trousers, braces, big black boots, a bowler hat and a codpiece, and armed with a cane and a dagger.

Que lots of sudden new members with strangely appropriate names....

...I have also picked out a model for you @trollmeat okay to go ahead with that one too?

I dunno if it would be ethical to use my name as a entry because I only signed up to yak a day or so ago.

"Model a figure based on your own or another forum users name"

My rusty moral compass would add ~"Only existing user names at the time the competition was announced may be used, so no making new accounts with awesome names (you filthy scum)" :-D

...but I am the lowest of the low & have to leave it up to the higher powers of this forum to decide.

On another topic, while waiting at the friendly doc's I jotted down a quick story and a sketch of Loriel & the Amazing TechnoFlesh Dreamcoat.

'cept not only have I already packed my minis and green stuff, but my laptop as well. Typing on this old 2nd hand new smartphone is difficult and although I have taken a pic, I give up trying to figure out how to shrink and upload it. Looks like nobody else is as enamoured with the idea of making a Buffalo Bill necrocrossover as I am Lotion boy ah, I mean Loriel ... :-D

Edit: Hooray! It seems as though I have spammed enough to not only be allowed to edit my posts, but have a profile pic too! :-D

@Blood Donor and @BeardLegend you are my Huckleberries!.... Err....sorry.... I mean I'm makin' a model of you.

I promise nothing but the possibility of being disappointed by whatever random crap i glue together. Any similarity with Blue Space Marines is a purely coincidental result of my bits box. On that topic do either of you look like a small Sherman tank, Not vital but would help.....?

Screw the rules* I've started a model already so you'll all just have to accept it ;)

*Never screw the rules, they're there for a reason. I've burnt the model and I'm sending you all an apology letter.
 
^was expecting, with the * to see ~"last edited by moderator" at the end of the post :-D

Also, I haven't earned the privilege of having someone making a model inspired by my name yet (barely even started setting this forum on fire) :p

You can see pictures of both of them in The Real You thread over in The Wargamers Lounge forum section. (y) Or you can just build something based on the image that their name conjures up for you.
 
^ My picture in that thread does not show that I do in fact have treads from an M4 Sherman instead of legs. Like all risky operations, it was fully worth it. I'm at a temporary loss for bits, and have been dragging arse on a holiday gift of Space Hulk (in my defense, I've hosted 6 different visiting friends spread out over the last 2 weeks plus a night of handing out Hallowe'en candy) so I don't think I will be able to put forth anything but kudos, approval, and a general declaration that this topic is downright brilliant. I imagine most of us Yakkers will be able to throw away our mirrors once we are portrayed in 28mm scale, as I can only assume the resemblance will be uncanny. Do your worst, @notprop (y)
 
Loriel & his Amazing TechnoFlesh Dreamcoat

I hope I magically find time to build this...
...and that my modelling skills turn out to be better than my sketching ones :-D

Anyway, this is almost roughly exactly kinda what I was thinking :p

Can anyone point me in the direction of a 28mm bandaged head? Preferably juve looking but not essential.
