Pause 3

Hi all,
           You will be pleased to know that I have finally got around to purchasing some more models  for the Blog. em4 and Crooked Dice Games came up with the goods for me. Thanks to Colin on the Nordic Weasel Yahoo Group Forum for pointing me in the right direction with some handy suggestions.

As someone almost once said, "Mr.Scott, ready to beam down goodies."

"Aye, Sir. Energizing now."

The postie has arrived, unfortunately, so has the Xmas move around at my shop. this means I will not have much free time to do my other stuff for a bit. I'm also mid decorating, but I may do a bit of priming during a break.

Just added a few names to the Hugemont cast list.

I do want to be generating more posts than I am at the moment, but real life keeps butting its nose into everything. Just had to buy a new Digital aerial, I have fitted it and it works ok, I have just got to get some more co-ax cable to reach the tv downstairs.

Just painted the missing bits on the model. Pictures posted

Next day, loose keys - so have to change lock barrel on front door after I get home (had a spare key to get in with), check for cable extenders while shopping, all gone.

Frustrated, yet again.

I have finished off my Corner ruin, unless I find other bits to add to it.

Thanks to the person who bothered to vote in my poll,which is situated right at the bottom of the blog, on the left. I will try a different question and see what results I get this time. Maybe a different place would be better, if you think so, leave a comment here.

Another shout out and thanks everybody who has taken the time to have a look at my site, I have now topped the thousand mark. Please feel free to comment on anything I have done or suggestions.
                   I am wondering, what is the difference between a follower and someone who has me in their circle ? Google plus is in a world of its own.

5P - Gang - Scum

Hugemont Gang - The Scum of the Planet

Pete

Leader - Peter Janse, Alias The Poacher.

Background - He came from a mining area, but ran away to find "better things." Not that he found much of it.

To start with, he tried the lawful profession of Bounty Hunter, he caught some of the crooks he was after and missed others, some by just bad luck
            The ones he did capture, he got talking to them and kept getting the feeling that he would have done the heists in a much better fashion than they had done. Possibly, it was that he was just catching up with the losers of the gangs.
          He is the one who tracked down Pony to the Hugemont Spaceport bar. It was she who had heard of the robot exchange through hacking a local spaceport computer and they agreed to hit it together and split the profits. The others he recruited the same way.

Motivation - Survivor.

Talent - Evasive Move (Not subject to Guard fire).

Background - His first job was as a laundry worker on a deep space Science Vessel. They were on a science mission, looking for Gravitational Wave Anomalies in nearby galaxies. He was thrown off at the first opportunity, which was at Hougemonte, for putting forward his political views and annoying everybody in sight.
         His platform was that males over 21 should only get any voting rights, as teens were too boozed up to the eyeballs to think straight and women had to look after the youngsters and were too emotional anyway, so did not deserve the vote. He has been causing trouble and being disruptive. Naturally, his ideas did not get along with the women and teenagers of the mission or later, the women in the gang. But his services did come cheap.
