Shokk Gun

Making those Space Orks took my mind back to the only time i've ever before painted anything from that line - the Shokk Gun waaaay back in the late 80's or early 90's. The only reason i'd bought it is the same i buy any of the Games Workshop minitaures - i like the look of it. In this case, the barmy notion of having a weapon with a huge, whirling triple arm at the front that creates a Warp opening that sucks its enemies in. Add to that lots of luvverly quirky detail on the weapon such as a sand timer, chimney, tap and cranking handle plus the Ork with his tongue sticking out as he aims, and it became one of my favourite figures from that time. As good as he was, he's long gone now (think i sold him on eBay years ago) but i started to have a hankering to have another one. He's one of those miniatures that you can buy again now as he's been given an all new look and all new sculpt but, as usual when they do this, GW have taken away all the charm and originality that made these miniatures so memorable. Back to eBay then, and i was real surprised to find one still sealed in its blister pack for only about 4 quid.
Building was a doddle - stick the plastic left arm on, glue the gun to the shoulder, and bung the whirly thing on the front.
What was a surprise is that the pack also came with a bunch of Snotlings - teeny tiny comedy dwarf Goblins - and i don't know what i'll be doing with them

I was curious if you ever considered changing the page layout of
your blog? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say.
But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it
better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or two pictures.

Yesterday, while I was at work, my sister stole my apple ipad
and tested to see if it can survive a 40 foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation.
My apple ipad is now destroyed and she has 83 views.
I know this is entirely off topic but I
had to share it with someone!
