Yeah right! :smack
I walked away from the paint job on this to give me time to workout how I would do this - well I still don't know so what the hell, I'm going ahead anyway and i'll make it up as I go :idonno
that's what I usually do.

RECAP - for those who have no idea what this is about and for the rest of us who have forgotten because I have taken so long!
The story

A war has come and gone, and the remains of the violence and destruction still stain the eastern half of the once great Gothic capital. Gaslamps light the streets at night and their flickering, sickly yellow haze try their best to bring some saftey to the darkness that prevails in this end of town. Rumours have it that some evil malevolence has been born under one of the old defence gun's - Battery 17, but the levels of radiation spent in that area to push back the inhibitors to the outskirts, has rendered it a forbidden zone to all but the most hideously deformed. A lone figure has been reported to be living at the gun site, along with what seems to be a kind of living technology, born from the mutating environment and feeding on the machine of war; changing it, reforming it from within to become..............

"That's all that was left in the diary sir. Couldn't make out the rest, it's too damaged. I'll have Jenkins run it down the river to the professor, he will be the only person who can get any more from this carbonized mess."
The Captain replies:"OK, just get back here before dark. You know how the Inhibitors favour the far bank at dusk."


Ok so there you have it, a strange Gothic tale yet to be told. This Nightmarish vision has been looming for a while through the idea of a post apocalyptic dio set on a river bank in a destroyed city.

:cheer:
thanks for the interest guys.
Still haven't gone further with this (or anything else at the moment). Work is very busy at the moment and I just haven't got enough time in between to get motivated.
:(

Maybe soon.


Ian
 
Glad to hear you're busy, hopefully you'll get some bench time soon. Cheers! :drinks
 
Busy is good. Hope you can find a more balanced medium soon .

Unhealthy to have no bench time :(

Cheers, Christian B)
