Seriously, this is really awesome. Y'know, with the amount of money you've spent, you could've built a few Titan Legions

Hey Bolton... I'm Oldham

A long time ago

And.......... No

My three sons argue all the time... who is dad leaving it all to.

I told them I'm taking it all with me... an I'm getting cremated.

And I'm NOT adding more people to the mix

**Sicarius**

See, now there's another reason to visit Australia. The Great Barrier Reef, The outback, Sidney Oprea house, Your house

**Lord Castellan Mik**

I think I'll have to charge addmission.

It does look an awful lot of stuff when you see it layed out like that!

Im a Security Officer in a full time perm site, however, I've recently earned a BA degree in Criminology and I am starting up a Security/Risk management Consulting firm - maybe another year away before fully operational.

As I've said before... no kids at home, brilliant wife, a bit of money keeps popping up now and again... we don't smoke, infrequent social drinkers, don't do pubs and clubs... we do have a huge DVD collection though - that keeps us busy, when I'm not doing this of course.

To answer the next question... I find the time coz I'm on a 4 days on, 4 days off roster - and my wife works 5/6 days a week.

us security guards must have big armies and lots of time off for building and painting figs my gaming buddies think I am nuts I need to show them your posts.

**Sicarius**

You could charge people painting one marine for you to get in. You be done in no time!

**Lord Castellan Mik**

Cheers sonofruss

**Lord Castellan Mik**

I've actually done that type of thing before...

When I moved into a new house (way back) - and there was little landscaping done... so at the house warming I told all my guests to bring a piece a grass (sod, turf, etc) each and we filled in the patches.

3 down...

Amazing thread. I'm really interested to see how you progress with this, and how the painting goes. I also like your storage system. If I ever get a house with a basement, I'll have to look into something similar for storing my much more modest collection.

**Amen Brick**

Hey oldham, Oldham here too, originally

**grey_death**

It's good to see more sick in the head modelers out there ^_^. Your project is just the right kind of crazy that Dakka needs!

It would seem to fit better over in the P&M Blogs though, so I'm going to send it that way.

Really looking forward to seeing paint go on all these models o.o...

**PanzerSmurf**

50K points of ultra's... Going insane at ludicrous speed! I wish you luck with the project though...

**JD21290**

You need to convince a local school to teach painting as art, then give them a painting guide, tell em its part of thier GCSE's or A levels, and let them do the painting for you

**Sicarius**

He can come to my School and try to convince then

**Lord Castellan Mik**

Hi to all in P&M Blogs

I'm new to blogs and I realised that I was in the wrong "room" but I didn't know how to move.

Hi, again

**Zhetsuken**

This sums up my initial reaction o.O ................................................ O.o

Aside fromt aking you an ungodly amount of time looks like it will be alot of fun.

I have played a number of 15-20k point games and they take on averege 4-6 hours depending on the armies.

How long does a 50k point game take to play??

Also if you buy me 48k points of Tau I will come over and play against you daily

j/k or am I?

**Pyromaniac**

for once in my life blue is looking good

That is too awesome.

I suggest that assembly-line is the only way to go on something this big. Also, plan to spray, detail, & wash, when you get around to painting.

**oni**

Holy gak!!! Did you hijack the delivery truck?

**Lord Castellan Mik**

Update

Now 5 done, another 5 ready to go

Necros wrote:When it comes time to paint.. I reccomend the Army Painter blue primer spray.. it's the perfect ultramarine blue color and it will help you get it all done a lot quicker. Between that spray and a good wash with some of the army painter washes you should be able to save a lot of painting time.

Good luck

Seconded!! This kind of solutions keep you alive.

And good sir, JUST DO IT!!! Fething awesome dedication and helping GW through the hard times too.

Haha, I think their stock just rose sharply after investors saw this thread ^_-.

**JD21290**

grey, judging by some peoples reactions i dont think its just stock thats rising

**BloodDeathAssault**

that sounds pritty cool but i wonder, how much money are you spending on this project, suree its fun to go crazy some times but i think your going just a little over bored. But hey i could be wrong, just my oppinion.

**Lord Castellan Mik**

Ultramarines is just over A$3000

Imperial Guard is A$4000

with about another A$1000 to go

When you have it... you decide what you spend it on and when

When you don't have it... you have to ask for it and then wait for them to give it to you

This project is a 20 year dream.. I have it

Apocalypse is not everyones cup of tea - some people still prefer coffee
