Loft Lurkers - What have you forgotten or left at your mums ?

Imagine my suprise when PP a good friend of mine from the clan said " You'll never guess what I found in me mums loft  " ?........knowing how weird this guy can be (sheep fetish) I really didnt want to answer him ...but curiousity got the better of me.
Here are some of his models painted a good 20 years ago and how gobsmacked was I, not only did they arrive in abox with more sawdust in than 3 sawmills but how good was his painting? I pride myself on being crap at painting but im hoping to improve...eventually, but I was really impressed by these M113 APCs and the jeep.All from Tamiya but again at a scale spot on for a 40k game/rpg, 1:35 apparently, with nicely detailed interiors.A few 40k decals and the odd weapon upgrade and another smart looking model joins my loyalist forces of the Imperium..............cheers PP

Forge World - Love the models, hate the prices - Warthog made for 40k

I really love the detail and quality that goes into Forgeworld models and have over the years invested in several, however their prices have always made it difficult sometimes to collect what I really wanted.So when the Imperial Guard got Elysian Tauros vehicles at £31 + postage, I wanted them but couldnt afford them.
                  What do you think of these little babies ? sold as Mcfarlane Halo 3 Vehicles Series 1 and based on the hugely popular Warthog chassis I was really impressed with everything about them. Approximately 4" long and 2" wide as you can see from our Catachan friends the scale is pretty much spot on for 40k and comes fully painted, weathered with rolling wheels and rotating turret on the rear, which can be removed for additional storeage capacity.The gun could be left as a heavy stubber look a like or substituted with an appropriate 40k alternative more in keeping with a Tauros codex entry.
I bought 10 of these to use as Tauros subs and also a jeep for general transportation and thought about a long range recon unit with every other one replacing its weapon with food and fuel stored in the back.
At the time of my purchase about 11 months ago I paid about £5 each via ebay, now they are £7.99 ish but a more thorough google might find a better offer, I also like the identity they bring to an army which sometimes looks the same to everyone elses.What do you think ?

Introduction

I chose White Noise as a title because, well it stands for interference, and these rants and comments are going to be exactly that an interruption to normal viewing :)

I have been threatening to do this for over a year and thought you lazy scroat what's stopping you ?
As I no longer have full mobility and find myself stuck in the house 24/7 I decided to give it a bash.

I will comment on a whole range of subjects and try and make it interesting no matter the topic,I have a vile sense of humour regularly being called " wrong " so anything goes and camera permitting will include photgraphs where relelvant.
