Hey guys,

after two hard but very very cool days, the monkey-crew has returned home. We were in Cologne for the German Games Day this weekend. It was awesome to meet some of you who follow this blog and the crazy monkeys crew inhabiting the jungle... to get all this mass of positive feedback made our hearths jump and all the difficult situations we had during travelling to Cologne forgotten! Also to see our brothers Ben and Matt once more, to laugh and to be thrilled together with them after the award show was nearly the best of the whole weekend.

Big Congratulations to Matt for winning the Slayer Sword (I´m sure he will tell us something about his project later) and to the Big Kong for his Bronze Deamon!

Well, I´m very very tired and after this long day I smell a little bit strange, but we wanted to thank all of you and everybody who made this two days sepcial :) And a absolute jungle-like thank you and big hug to our matchless driver, His Kurtheit I. (who also won a Bronze Deamon) and to Daniela for giving us a dry and beautiful place for sleeping and relaxing :)

There will be a separate posting and telling you our experiences and give you some impressions later ;)

Good night & best wishes,
Peter

Again it is about the ULITMATE PLASTIC KNIGHT CHALLENGE's Prize List - here goes another update:

The 1st and 2nd prized surprise boxes are getting struck by Vallejo Pigments. 1 set of 4 in each surprise box. We have to thank Fantasy In for the support and make sure to read the next issues of the german Tabletop Mag "TabletopInsider" to see Raffa's Review on those cool pigments coming up.

You also find an update on the Prize List now in the Contest Announcement about the Plastic Knights.
So far - Greetings out of the busy jungle lair and enjoy music!

Is there anything better to start a big post with the right music? Enjoy, it is a message to two persons who just should dance and be happy for a moment:



A big post with much to tell from my side. Where to start?


Let's start with the ULTIMATE PLASTIC KNIGHT Challenge and a little update to the steady growing Prize list.


A big thanks to the wonderful guys over at the painting blog "DieVincis" for supporting the contest with laying the corner stone for a new Surprise box, which will be given away as the 2nd Prize. It will content a lot of usuable hobby things for your joy.


 "DieVincis" did support this box with the following content, it will be filled up by myself and Raffa and i keep you updated about its growing - big thanks to the "DieVincis" again and also a big thanks to Big Panda V for the little birthday gift - awesome!!! :D



By the way check out their blog as the content is really cool and there is a lot of Happy Painting going on over there. It was meant to be a german language only blog but lately they start to post in german + english - a must look!

The big surprise box, containing "The Protector of Stalingrad" is also updated with stuff. Useful stuff we hope, more to come soon. Here is a little update.



Next is a little view on my actual WIP table - nothing special fency there, but soon Hon's exchange miniature - the blurry knight in front will be finished.



Next are some photos made by brilliant Palak.
She showed them over on facebook and as i know about her available time for the jungle i have asked her if i can show them here too. Great inspiration by mother nature - clicked by the skillful and talented Palak (i won't show you all as there are way to many, i try to show my favourites -  let me know in the comments that i should show you some more and i will do so soon):







Following the instructions at the bamboo Information counter signpost there follows a little talk about some finished miniatures. First there is a little "Jester" who was struck badly by destiny but still tries to spread the word about Happines around the dark alleys of Mortheim - it's an old sculpt for Mortheim which was given only to staff members or sth like this - hope you like him:



I also did finish another comissioned Hydra Flak Tank.
The army of the comissioner is a very funny thing as far as i know the army is recruited from several different battalion who have survived a galaxy wide defeat some weeks ago. This one is a special Hydra Flak Tank, who is not in best conditions but still serves and its gunner has become a legend of being too stubborn to die amongst the Tyranid Swarm Fleet.





Also the For Sale area did recieve a little update on painted miniatures for sale - you can check it here!
So far, enjoy your weekend and be nice to eachother!
I wish you a happy painting time!
Roman
