For those who do not know, Frederick Douglass was an ex-slave turned statesman who was at the forefront of the abolitionist movement. He also has an awesome portrait that would have rocked the $20 so hard.
It has been FOREVER since I‘ve been able to post anything on here. Due to getting to take a week off between jobs, I have some free time now to post a few random things. For starters, here’s a few moreMacho Man infused movie posters.

Overthe past few months, some people started up-scaling the figure templates I used for Mini Dungeon Adventures and used them to make warhammer proxy models. Of course, being a 40k player myself, I had to get in on the action
In total, I have most of the figures from the Inquisition codex with the exception of daemonhosts, arco-flagellants and named characters while also including Inquisiorial Chimeras, Most of the sisters of battle units minus any HQs, named characters or repentia while also including Penitent Engines, Rhinos and the Excorcist missile tank, All four Imperial Assassins, Eldar Windrider jetbikes and All the Eldar Aspect warriors and their exarchs
Here’s the link tow download a zipped file with everything:

In addition to what I’ve done, Upsilonman and Ognenny Angel have made boxy paper armies for: Space Marines, Tau, Necrons, Imperial Guard, Chaos Marines and Orks
I pasted some photos of these a while back, but I finally got around to finishing the templates for them.

I made a papercraft model based on the Animated music video for Ghost by Mystery Skulls ( Luis Dubuc) and Mysteryben27 (Ben Magnum) . Check out the video here:
Here is the download link for the paper model:
I made papercraft templates for a superdeformed Resistance X-Wing and First order Tie Fighter. The models are two pages each and have detailed instructions for assembly included in the PDF

As a side note, I’m back to doing freelance work, and am accepting commissions for paper models for both commercial and personal use. AKA, if you want a paper model and it doesn’t exist I can be bribed to fix that for you.
I am saddened by the news that one of my all time favorite authors has passed away today. Terry Pratchet has written some amazing works of fiction which have made me smile, laugh and chuckle throughout many a quiet evening reading his literature. What I’m posting now is a work I once read by another anonymous Terry Pratchett fan when the news of his illness and approaching death first became public.
“I would like my pudding now nurse. And then I think I’d like to… write… something… I don’t remember what.”
Standing in the corner, he waits. The sand slowly flows, but it nears it’s end. The old man still glows, as thousands of threads spread away from him.
SQUEAK.
I AGREE. IT IS A SHAME TO SEE HIM THIS WAY.
SQUEAK.
NO. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN…. BUT I CANNOT WAIT TO ASK HIM HOW IT ALL ENDS.
The old man looks up, smiling, through them… And then sees them. For once, the smile on the hooded figure’s skull is genuine.
“I… I remember you. The anth… ant…”
ANTHROPOMORPHIC PERSONIFICATION.
“That, yes. We knew each other?”
ONCE. AND WILL AGAIN. SIR?
He so rarely said it, and these feelings… Remembering the young apprentice, and his beloved daughter. The beautiful child they have…
“There… Is a girl, yes?”
SHE IS SPEAKING TO THE AUDITORS, SIR. THEY ARE UNWILLING TO LISTEN.
“Well then. You know what they say. Two things you cannot avoid. Taxes and.” Those eyes, and he becomes aware.
SQUEAK.
“Quite right. Is it time already? I have much to do?”
YOU HAVE GIVEN ALL YOU CAN SIR.
“No, not cancer. Alzheimers.”
I AM AWARE.
“So, where is the boy? I remember a boy.”
CARRIAGE ACCIDENT.
“Ahh. Never much trusted cars. Or horses.”
THEY GET YOU WHERE YOU WANT TO GO.
“Must I?”
SOON. BUT WE MAY SIT AWHILE.
SQUEAK.
DO YOU HAVE ANY BISCUITS?
“No, shame really.”
YES.
“Is it truly turtles?”
ALL THE WAY DOWN. I HAVE SEEN THEM.
“Ahh. I would love to see it. Perhaps a small trip before?”
IT WOULD BE MY PLEASURE.
“The light is slower there. And there is a monkey…”
ORANGUTAN. SAME PRINCIPLE.
“Yes. Will they. Remember me?”
SQUEAK.
“What was that? I could not hear you.”
HE SAYS WE WILL SIR.
“I never much liked the trouble people had with you. You seem a nice fellow.
I HAVE MY DAYS.
"Don’t we all?”
SOME LESS THAN OTHERS.
“Is it quick?”
YES. AND I BROUGHT THE SWORD. CEREMONY DICTATES IT.
“Ahh. How about a cup of tea?”
I WOULD ENJOY IT. DO YOU PLAY CHESS?
“No. How about checkers?”
And so they sat, two old friends regaling each other. Though he could not remember all of the details, He filled him in when he needed.
“Well. Until?”
I WILL STAY HERE SIR.
They shook hands then, and both sat in a comfortable chair, watching a last sunset together.
So a friend of mine has been posting lots of photoshopped pictures of the late,great wrestler Macho Man Randy Savage and I thought I’d give it a shot since I fondly remember watching wrestling in the 80s and early 90s.
A long time ago in a wrestling arena far, far away…
I need your clothes, your championship belt and your motorcycle.
Come out and get you one in the yarlbes, brother! Oooh yeah!
When it comes to smashing viruses, Macho man is the program to defend your computer grid.
So I got some thicker substrates to play around with on the laser and came up with this. It is a full scale (42" long) replica of a space marine chainsword with working teeth. I haven’t found a decent electric motor for it yet, so for now it just operates with a crank on the hilt. The hard part was making the working gears and 58 teeth (and 116 links) mesh together and work with no parts getting snagged. Bamboo skewers were cut and inserted into the links to hold the chain together as it moves around the blade. I also used 1/8" acrylic to etch a pair of aquilas to go on either side of the blade. The whole thing weighs about six pounds. I still have to sand it down, prime it, paint it and add the leather for the handle and a purity seal somewhere.
So now I have the plasma rifle, fusion blaster, missile pod, flamer, burst cannon and shield generator as well as a standard gun drone done in papercraft. You can see most of them in the above pic next to their plastic counterparts. Next up I have to make a few more of the support systems, then it’ll be on to the Broadsides and maybe the Riptide if there’s enough interest in it.
