Doing the right thing

While looking around the web for deals on Sarissa in the EU I ran across a cloned website of Sarissa. Looked really well done, but in an older format, with current pics and oddly high discounts. Thought I had run in to the testwebsite for a potential upcoming sale at first, but after some online checking (like using the Wayback machine etc) I concluded It must be a fake.

Reported it with screenshots etc to Sarissa and this was their reply.

Hi Johan,


Thank you for taking the time and directing us to the fake site. We’ reported it through various channels and it has now been taken down thankfully and I hope that no one was tricked into using it.


As a thank you for your assistance please accept this £5 voucher code which will give a discount of £5 on any order of £20 or over.



<nope, not showing that, sorry...>


Many thanks,Steve

After being scammed in Agugust by a real shop (losing out 160,77 euros in the process cause www.minigamers.nl just keeps your money and does not send out any stuff) my faith in humanity is a bit restored.

(And then Trump won so now it's shaky again.....<sigh>)

Hard Sci-fi civilian vehicle WIP

 Saw this basemodel early October as a sci-fi vehicle and thought, I can do that. So found one on sale and made it my own with some old (and very old) GW and other parts. Basemodel is a 1/48 Tamiya 7ton Armoured Car MK. IV

Went with a abandoned Redneck in space look. Plenty of scope for weathering. Minor cleanup tomorrow then primer.

Will work for any hard Sci-fi I suppose.Alien, Rogue Trader, Stargrave

Biting the (Silver) bullet

 After making 2 French Army zombie testmodels with the free sprue Warlord sent me, and thinking about it......decided to get a team and some stuff for it.  

2nd French team (1st seems impossible to find), 2 Priests/Monks ( liked those models), a flock of geese (cause reasons) and another Russian House (Actually 2 as it was on sale and technically 1 is for my Stalker build).

I'm still looking for a affordable bag of Victrix late Napoleonic troops as those have 2 poseable arms and I would like to make a few more zombies. 60 is a lot though....

A little depot for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. (WIP)

 

I felt I was lacking a small depot building with a few small rooms, but no one makes what I want. So I ordered a Small workshop from the Gangs of Rome series from SP and that arrived this afternoon. I just finished cleaning up the table and the tools and I'm calling it 99% done, will add some electrical switches/cabling when I have some free time again. I've added a pic for reference to see how it scales with the rest. Roof will be fibreboard with a smashed section on the right side, the awnings will be tinned sheet so I can have a go at rusting, especially the section on the right. The extended baseplate will be painted as concrete slabs. No idea when I have the time for it but hopefully this year.

Oh, as a mate pointed out....great to change into workshops in a Vietnamese or Chinese alley as well. Might make another one someday in Cyberpunk style. Just sell that kidney first for funds.

 

 

Well, guess next year is Post Apoc year I guess

 I try to spend a few hours each week in the attic to sort stuff for selling, keeping and binning. This morning I realised I've collected quite a few brownstones and Appartments for post Apoc and it would be a shame not to use them.

So I guess somewhere mid 2025 might be a good time? I'm enjoying painting and building for Stalker way too much so that still has priority.

Perimiter Bunker 1.06, known as the "Icon Bunker" to Stalkers

 1st of the set of bunkers for the perimiter. I wanted this one to be a bit wilder in looks but also serene. It is from the Sarissa set of 3 Pillboxes, "British Pill Box Set N089". Simple, easy to build, looks the part. 

Tufts used from various sources, mostly Greenstuff World this time. Hope you like!

To the Stalkers Perimiter Bunker 1.06 is known as the Icon Bunker. Its door is always open for those in need of a dry place to rest, and exudes a calmness not often encountered in the Zone.

2nd building for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. finished.

 After a week of pondering (plenty of time to think when you are sick) I decided glazing the second building would kill my will to live, so finished the detailing on the inside, added a doorknob and the 2 missing lines and called it a day. I have plenty of other stuff to work on.
