New place is lovely but its like bein in a time warp back to the bloody stone age, up to just recently we hardly had any mobile coverage, still don't have adequate internet connection, that's supposed to come about on the 30th of June. Cant wait to get back into some stuff on the internet, like to be more active here as well as on other forums, but mainly cant wait to get back to my Aussie Club for World of Warships (Taskforce44)...been absent since September last year.
Gotta say guys though, Ive acquired a brand new love for War at Sea again just being here the last week, got heaps of stuff on the go including a complete stock-take and card count for my collection...which is quite substantial. But its all over the bloody workshop right now, and I hate things being that un-organised (that's not a word...is it).
Hope everyone is still enjoying their painting and building as much as I am, the great thing about Forumini is that we keep each other going, I've never found another forum quite like this one in that respect...its quite unique. Kudos to everyone for making it that way.

Today I worked on the Alsace and painted half of the Alabama. I can't find any pictures of her starboard side for Measure 12...
Also, Alabama, South Dakota, Mississippi, Colorado, and Maryland all arrived today, with Duke of York, Howe, and Victorious for my brother. Gotta love Shapeways!
Like Drit, I'm working on raising two little girls.. They definitely keep me busy (but I find they complain more when I paint them )
Painting boats has been REALLY slow for the last year-ish. But around Christmas, I went on a FUD conversion spree and primed a bunch of UK and German ships from Roe's store. I'm 90% done with two favorites: Kent and Graf Spree. If I ever get around to finishing those, Prince of Wales is next. So much to do, so little time........
HAP!!! One of the finest artists of Naval miniatures to be found anywhere in the world folks. He built my beloved HMS Sheffield. Great to see you around mate.

I started painting a 1/1800 'what if' version of the Peder Skarm Danish coastal defense ship I built a while back. I basically gave her duel main guns fore and aft instead of the single she had in real life.
In the middle of moving all my old threads here to the new boards when I had to stop and now re-loading all my images to Postimage (thanks for the recommendation Dan) and re-linking all the pictures.
What a process! I can see why Weeds is paying to stay on P-bucket

I have being paying Photobucket for about 5 years because of the bandwidth used in the card projects. But it had been a lot lower at $2.99 a month. I have received an email from Photobucket assuring me that I can keep the same rate for "the duration of my subscription." I don't know what that means since I have never had to formally "renew" it.
Eventually I will migrate away, but right now I am up to my eyeballs and I am glad I am grandfathered for at least awhile.
I am currently painting seven Shapeways HMS Lions. I have been very slow on this project. A lot going on with a new job, and I think I just needed a rest. I am also working on a "surprise package" that will remain confidential until I get it done.
