Some kid lost his bike and Mail call!

Thx guys, I'm hanging in there. Only managed to finish the varnish and basing of these today and tried to start some more and bigger wreckage. Also have a offer to make a deal for 8 Marx cars for 10 euros that Kim said I can do so I will add those to my painting list soon. Deltadogs stuff has priority but I want to do it right and I'm really not clearheaded right now.

It's a pity it ain't a tricyle, but what can you do (other then convert one). Looks sad enough as it is.
 Letterboxes and kids bicycle by Black Cat Bases. The bike is exteremely roughly cast, with extra metal bits everywhere from mould wear, mould slippage and plain bits missing. No pedals even. The letterboxes have caved in sides from when the metal cooled but that actually helps with the beat up look! Did my best to make it....interesting!

I feel this is going to be a slow week, and I'm sick and tired of sitting at home not working so wondering if I can't just ask the fysiotherapist to get me a knee brace so I can get back to work. If they will let me. I know my chest still hurts and my arm still goes numb on and off but it has been 5 weeks man.

  1. Good luck with the recovery. Knees take a long time to heal so try to relax and make the most of your time.

  2. Mate, still thinking of you and your struggles, I really hope things improve for you. Us Aspies can find it particularly hard being in situations where we don't know what's going to happen. or when stuff will end. May your brain be calm :-)
    Cheers,
    John.

    1. My wife told me I need some friends to come over so I can take my mind off things. Sadly talking about it won't make the pain go away :(

  3. I feel for you if you're still in that much pain after 5 weeks. I was once at home for 2months with a backache and got really depressed just because I couldn't go anywhere.
    Luckily in your case you have time work on your growing apocalyptic scenery collection.
    Get well soon!

    1. Well, the pain is a lot less, it's becoming more of a annoyance then real pain (unless I make a move I shouldn't!) but I'm looking forward to my next Fysio in the morning.

  4. My commiserations, Johan, I really hope things will start looking up soon. I know the frustration of sitting at home and not being able to do anything, it sucks.

    I love the Fallout stuff you're doing lately!
    (You actually got me looking at prices for Fallout 3 and 4... That ended that little plan quite quickly.) How large would a warband be for your games? Maybe I can rustle something up for a side-project.
    How long dit the Black Cat order take to get delivered? They have been somewhat...erratic... of late.

    1. Warband can be as small as 2-3 to 6-8, depending on the caps spent and what kind of faction you choose and what direction you want to go. I'll be painting up a set of plastic 40K Chaos Cultists as Raiders first just because I have them, and some robots after that. I'm looking at Ghouls too, but I would have to buy a new box for that and Kim is vetoeing every purchase atm. Black Cat took 2 weeks from order to delivery. If you do order, can I join? They promised some freebies the next time I order.

  5. Five weeks; ouch, that is a long time. You've done a great job with the mailboxes and especially with the bike.
