NEWSFLASH!

European News Network (ENN),"All the news, delivered with a European Flair, by a Eurobabe…"

MISSING SCIENTISTS HAD RARE "SUPER ELEMENT"!!!

(Sudekia) Additional Reports are coming out of the African country of Bongolesia that the recent abduction of three prominent scientists by anti-govt. forces may have also included the acquisition of a newly discovered rare "super element" – Bongolesium.Professor Rudolf Von Reinhardt, Professor Art VanDeLay, and Doctor Nigel Percival Incubator-Jones,(All of Perverticus Industries), along with their driver, local native Goh'Speed R'aysur were reported overdue from a research trip into the Bongolesian Outback.A search party found the bullet riddled jeep, along with the bullet riddled body of the late local native Goh'Speed R'aysur, but no sign of the scientists nor the container holding the rare element.
Discovered by accident in the Central Region of Bongolesia near the Goombatz Mountain Range and Lake Damnitsdeep, "Bongolesium" is a rare element that seems to display some "unusual talents".
As one US Scientist said over his third Bourbon and Coke, "While we don't know the full aspects of what Bongolesium can do, I can *burp* say with a b..b..bit of a fact jack, that I think this is "one of those things" that we shouldn't let the Iranians get hold of…if you kn…know what I mean. *hic*"
Scientists around the world have been interested in acquiring and studying the rare element, but most expeditions to the country have been turned back due to lack of "necessary approvals and funding". Indeed it seems that Bongolesium is an amazingly rare element and thus its rarity makes it even more valuable on the open market.
With the recent revelation of the fate of the scientists and their cargo, Bongolesian Leader President-For-Life P'hat Daddee B'wonah expressed interest and gave his full support for the safe return of the missing cargo and the scientists. "It just breaks my heart to see such good stuff, and those scientists get hubbi-jubbied by those hoodlums that would see our country run even further into the ground." He said shaking his head."Of course, in the interests of world peace and prosperity, I shall make all Bongolesian Govt. Assets available to seek a meaningful conclusion to this situation as quickly as possible and in the best interests of all."
After these statements, the President invited all Eurobabes to attend a private cocktail pool party at the Presidential Palace. "It's a good way to have some company while The First Lady, Moolah B'wonah is on an extended trip to the international wig and hairdo conference in Tripoli, Libya."He said with a smile.
More on this story as the situation unfolds…stay tuned to the European News Network; where "All the news, is delivered with a European Flair, by a Eurobabe…"

An Overdue Update, (Architecture and BARF)...

Oh my it's been almost two months since my last update on this site! Good gawsh almighty!
Okay, I've done no real AK47 Republic Gaming in quite a while, (almost a year now, oh my!), and instead have been working on painting figs, building scenery, and learning to resin cast. It's hard to learn how to resin cast when you have THREE seperate Arts/Crafts/Hobby Stores and NONE of them carry Alumilite! (Well one did but dropped the brand)...
The last entry that I posted showed the "Bongolesian Arch".
After looking at it, I thought, "This is nice, but it doesn't have the "bling", that makes it look like a national monument.

So I went back to work...
Actually I went to Michaels Arts and Crafts...
I picked up a small pack of small assorted Rhinestone "jewels", and a soft rubbery plastic eagle, (in the science toys section).
A good scrubbing of the eagle, and two coats of primer. (Krylon grey, gotta love Wal-Mart), and then I mounted it on it's base and onto the monument.
I used three different types of "gold" to get the effect that I wanted, finally highlighting it with the "Pure Gold" from P3 (Privateer Press).
I took the rhinestones, and made small indentions into the monument and glued them in, attached the eagle, and added some wording and voila!
So now I present to you (complete), the Bongolesian National Victory Arch of Independence!

(The Bongolesian Victory Arch of National Independence and Unity...along with "almost real" gemstones...)

A close up view of the arch...

An "artistic" oblique view of the arch, showing a PP News Media stand for size comparison...

Hmmm...I've noticed lately that my digital camera seems to be giving me less and less satisfactory pics. Even with light assistance and changed settings I think that it just can't handle the job for what I want it to do...

Of course, it wouldn't be Bongolesia without Anti-Govt opportunists at every corner...

So to help spur on the Revolutionary fervor, (or is that fever?), I present to you, the BARF color bearer!

He's a Peter Pig WWII German Aircraft Mechanic with a metal rod for a staff, and proudly carrying the revolutionary colors of BARF forward to victory!!!

I've also got some more civilians painted up, and the first of my Lions of Allah, and the ship is ALMOST done..(It's taken a back seat to other projects now...grrr..)

More photos and another update soon, I hope!

Comments are appreciated!
