Hi Guys,
Started Blogging (look at me being all digital), mostly about 3rd edition Chaos Dwarfs, but in general anything related to Chaos Dwarfs.
Still figuring out how to work the layout but so far have managed 4 posts. You have to click ‘older posts’ to see the earlier entries.
Posts so far:
Frothwight Crabclaw
Marauder sorcerer
Ass cannon

Cool stuff. I guess this means you’re going to do more painting? Then on to more sculpting, right? 
Admiral:
We sure hope so! Thanks for the blog posts, nice reads.

Nice blogs! Glad to see so many other people just as passionate about the 2nd/3rd edition stuff! I’m only 10 figures away from having them all!
Abecedar:
Nice to see the love they’re being given
Admiral:
Good writings, Sjoerdo!
As an addendum to Zonk liking to scam people: Absolutely. He would still have been selling his miniatures today if he had gone by the honest route, and no doubt would have earned more. But some people get a kick out of scamming others, it seem. I once read an American anecdote, where one high school dropout in the 1990s by himself learnt computer coding in order to hack people’s bank accounts, or something close enough of the sort. The sheer effort he put into this was astounding, and he would have earned much more money in the end for at most half the effort, if he had gone the honest way…
Also, on Russian scams in general, since they have acquired some infamy beyond the Motherland’s borders:
Russia’s hard times in the disastrous 1990s was not kind to her people. Prior to the 1990s, Russia’s population was the most well-read on Earth, according to one study (hard to believe, with such a large country in top when smaller study-centered nations like Israel and South Korea also has to figure in). Apparently no other people on Earth read as many book as the Russians, and the late Soviet Union was stuffed with scientists, mathematicians, engineers, academics and other highly educated people. Come the collapse of the '90s, and a lot of these intelligent and learned folks are out of a job and get desperate for sustenance. In these bleak circumstances, scamming exploded in Russia. This was a criminal venture suited for clever persons, with minor risks of physical violence involved.

Added another entry, a step by step on repairing two MM90 CD’s that someone had attacked with a hatchet…
Repairing two MM90 Chaos Dwarfs
Abecedar:
Good looking repairs. Make sure you label them with “Authentic battle Damage”

Started slapping some paint, trying to replicate the original colour scheme of the Marauder cd’s
Carcearion:
Oh wow! Great job so far replicating the old paint scheme! Love the highlights. :hat off
Sjoerdo:
Thanks guys, and thanks Admiral for the insight in development of Russian scamming!
Finished the bloke yesterday:
Blog entry on the process and my ambitious countdown from 24 MM90’s:

Abecedar:
You’ve done very we’ll
Carcearion:
Wow! It’s the spitting imagine of the original! He looks amazing!
Sjoerdo:
Thanks guys… i see some room for improvement (some blue to the beard and some darker metal on the sword) but I’m happy with the result so far… i have a very limited paint palette available so finding/mixing the right colours is a challenge…
Carcearion:
Hmmm… if you just hit the sword with Nulin Oil and the beard with some Drakenholf Nightshade that might get you there.
Sjoerdo:
Hmmm... if you just hit the sword with Nulin Oil and the beard with some Drakenholf Nightshade that might get you there.Yeah that's the problem... Just have basic colours here... I found one shop in abu dhabi that sells some paint, but very limited assortment, only basic colours...

Admiral:
Quite impressively true to the original given the limited colours available. Good work!
Sjoerdo:
And number 23 is done! Next up, number 22
