Strippers! I see Strippers!

Before anyone thinks I have had a severe mental breakdown, I have not........

Do you remember these two?



It has been bugging me for sometime now that they are a different colour to ALL the other tanks in my Steel Legion army and with the recent completion of the Stormsword, Baneblade and the very near completion of the Hellhammer things came to a head yesterday morning when i got all 5 tanks out on the table to have a look and my left eye started twitching (my tell when something is causing me irritation) at the inconsistency.  

Compare the above with the two below......



Not only are the colours different but the quality of the final paint jobs are entirely different.  So based on both those inconsistencies this happened (no that is fairy power spray not semen!)    


Suffice to say after an evening with some thinners and a tooth brush they are stripped reundercoated and rebasecoated for the repaint......and as my friend Tommie pointed out, it is like having 2 new models to paint!!! Huzzah

  3. I can just imagine the Drill Sergeant:

    "Dee! Do these super-heavies look like they belong in my beloved Legion?"
    "No Sergeant"
    "Then get them stripped and re-painted before I paint them with your blood!"
    "Yes Sergeant"
    "The God-Emperor loves a matching armoured column Dee"
    "Yes Sergeant"

    1. haha

      I stand vindicated in my decision to strip them. The two tanks already look better after a weekend of work on them and Morningstar (Hellhammer).

      I have also renamed the Stormblade as "Light of the Emperor" was a five minute choice of name in a quite frankly rushed paintjob and as names go pretty wank. I had a list of suitable names but eventually went with Ironbound due to the Overkill connection, a 10" plasma blast being a little bit overkill............

  4. If on the other hand, if you are asking her to be your girlfriend or becoming possessive of her while she is at work you need to get a grip. She is working and if you ever have any hopes of dating a stripper you will have to come to terms with the fact that she is an exotic dancer and that there are going to be guys that see her without her clothes off. This is what she does for a living. Plain and simple. hire strippers

  6. We have all been to a hen night or party where a Male stripper has arrived to entertain you and he has been more of a shock than a surprise, In fact it happened to me many years ago, some friends had booked what they believed to be a 20 something, muscular well toned guy and when he arrived, well lets say he was none of the above. In my recent years of working in this industry I have heard many horror stories so this article is aimed to give you advice for when booking a male stripper / strippergram.... hire male strippers in Austin Texas
