You may have my cow, but you'll never get my goat!

I didn't have much time to work on this over the last two weeks, since my mom is visiting. Tonight I started painting some of the "stuff" I mentioned.

Love the fence! The cow is looking sufficiently terrified already! ;D

Your detailing on the 'stuff' is incredible!

Is your Farmer's last name, Fudd?
He resembles a certain hunter by the name of Elmer. :)

HAH! He's a dairy farmer, not a pig... but I see what you mean! I wonder if thats what Scale Solutions was going for!?

Hey Sol: I've been watching your vids and I think I'm going to try the chipping on the metal bands around the buckets. :) Wish I could get the realism you're getting!
 
I agree with the other guys the humorous touches make this stand out.
Its a nice change to see something different.
Also im loving your professional video skills!

Good luck with the chipping, Underlord! I'll be waiting for your next update with great anticipation ;)
 
All the details for the dio do really look outstanding! A very realistic-looking painting.
And I'm still digging the story, lol ;D
Thumbs up on your excellent progress, Underlord!

Looks great! What are you using for water in those buckets?

Thanks! The buckets are molded mostly full. I painted the wood on the outside and the inside rim, and I used a swirl of silver and white over the "water" portion. Once it dried, I added a very thick layer of Tamaya clear to get that sparkle look.
 
Ugh! Life has reared it's ugly head and halted progress. Once these doctors are finished with me, I'll get back on this. Sorry for the delay.
 
well, here's the insult added to my injury...

This morning I felt well, and had a little time before work. I decided that I'd go in and work on the dio... but to my utter shock and dismay, I found that the shower upstairs had leaked through the ceiling onto my STASH!

Guess it's time to call my insurance. I'm too depressed to look up their values yet. I hope I have replacement value coverage!

OH NO!!!!!!!
Tragedy has struck!
Are they all thoroughly soaked?
:'( :'( :'( :'( :'(

The new clear Enterprise D is soaked through and wasn't even in my first list. Voyager 3 pc, Galor, Fiber Optic D, and the DS9 are soaked through. I guess having the plastic on there held more water. I'm sure ALL of the decals are toast. I really don't care about the boxes, but I'm going to try to see if my insurance will cover replacement on all of the damaged kits.

Anyone know what the value of a SciFi Miniatures vacuuform Oberth would be? How 'bout the 3 ship Voyager pack?

Honestly, I only really care that I get replacement decals for these kits. I'm going to have to cover my $500 deductible, so claiming these kits might not be worth it. We shall see what my agent has to say.
