[Archive] Hello! What has Captain Crayon been up to?

Captain Crayon:

Hi everyone!

So i havent logged on in what is possibly a bajillion years.

Why?

No particular reason other than life has gotten in the way of toys…

Car accident, lost 60 kilos, new job where i literally traverse this ridiculously large country 4 times a month, bought a farm, got my old chevy back on the road again (unrelated to the afore-mentioned car accident)… all terribly exciting grown up things!

Nice to see what all you lovely people have been up to and some awesome toys in the galleries :slight_smile:

So i thought i’d put this post up and show off what i’ve been up to :slight_smile:

So the farm…

300 odd acres of ironbark and cypress, rabbits, foxes and not much else :slight_smile:



The old chev getting ready for a big day out…



And what about toys i hear you ask?

Lately ive been neglecting my long suffering orcsies and finally getting around to painting the 250 odd necromunda models.

Photos arent awesome, but i’m a long way from home at the moment hehe so all you get are phone photos…

Shown here is what photos i have on my phone of my goliaths.

“Gorgeous George & the Southside Rollers”

Which sounds kind of like they belong in the 80s…

At the moment there’s 40 odd of them painted, with another 10 in the works. I got a little bit carried away.







And no Goliath gang is complete without a dude with 2 chainswords…



And just because sometimes you need a bigger gun…



:slight_smile:

Hopefully over the coming months after my rapidly approaching Americaland adventure i’ll be a more regular visitor and contributer :slight_smile:

My 3000 odd unpainted points of big hats are still waiting patiently for some love!

brotsorrow:

Welcome back and beautiful car!!

Hi Captain Crayon. I must admitt I love the user name. It made my chuckle. Nice to see you are still “tinkering” with those man-dollies. Keep up the great work.

Zanko:

Hi dude!

Welcome back! :hat off

Like brotsorrow just mentioned … great car! Kudos! :cheers

Captain Crayon:

Thankyou Kindly Gentlemens! :hat off

I’m always doing something with the war-dollies.

Still have 3 or 4 thousand points of orcs left to paint (i think i had around 15,000 points at last count a few years ago)

So the necromunda and playing around with scenery has been a pleasant distraction from painting hordes of little green men.

First thing on the list when i get home from holidays is a new game table, then more painting (and hopefully games)!

The car (otherwise known as Francene) is a 1939 Chevrolet Sedan.

Running a 3 speed auto and a 355 cube holden motor :slight_smile:

Kera foehunter:

12 bolt posy rear end. Stock 8 to one pistions. ran in the 8th or quater mile yet ??

or is she just a show car.

I hope i got this right since some one is standing next to me asking these qustions…



Welcome back Kera

Captain Crayon:

No white walls :stuck_out_tongue:

I had to get 17 inch front rims to clear the front brakes…

Motor is a 308 holden bored 20 thou over with a stroker crank to take it out to 355.

Running chevy flat-top pistols, Alloy Yella-terra heads port matched to a redline torker manifold.

Transmission is a manualised Turbo 400

Rear end is a 10-bolt out of a tonner (so it has thicker axles) with a 3.08 LSD Centre.

Carb is a Mighty Demon 750.

Havent run a quarter, but been dyno’d at 243hp at the boots which isnt tooooo bad considering the motor only cost me a grand…

Not really a show car, i have put it in one hot rod show and picked up a trophy, but i reckon its a bit of a wank really.

Most just gets used to go for Slurpee runs… hehe.

Usually turns out to be very expensive slurpees seeing as it only gets about 3km/L (or 7 miles to the gallon) but its fun :slight_smile:

And no Mr Skull, you most certainly may not have it :slight_smile:

Kera foehunter:
