VERBOTEN

Ok guys I read this quite often. It seems to be kind of stylistic way in English to stress something by using a familiar German word... Can anybody tell me why you are doing this? It is kind of funny... Does it come from a movie or sth. because it looks to be quite new...

Thanks Abake.



You KNOW better than to ask for him, Carbo!
He and my BB/DK/89/39 sets are VERBOTEN to you (or anyone else)!
But, I can always paint up Spencer's head and try to cobble you up one sometime later on.
Let me know. Wouldn't mind another stab at a Gordon...

Again, trying to get the sale up. Pics soon and prices.

When you're back around to taking such things I'd like you to paint up my Spencer Gordon sculpt Les. LMK.

Like: Achtung! Kaputt! Jawohl!

I think it's probably it's use in various media, especially movies and video games. I remember in Dad's Army (a British Comedy series about the Home Guard in WW2) when a German para-trooper's chute got caught on a building and was shouting "SCHNELL, SCHNELL!" Corporal Jones shouts upto him "Don't you worry about the smell!" Classic.

Is that the Major from 28 days later? I suppose not, but he does bear a certain resemblance.

The Eccleston is from a walkie talkie and Rose was made by board member BillyB. Fantastic work!

Re: LES WALKER - All NEW Custom Works 2009

I saw these on my last trip up to see Les and he really nailed them both. I am continuously amazed by everything Les touches, his skin work alone is worth the price of a headpaint.

Re: LES WALKER - All NEW Custom Works 2009

Hi guys. A QUICK in and out, as more bad weather is due in minutes, and I am gonna unplug yet again all my stuff. Will I ever get to my sale!!?!?!?
At least I can paint when I get time...

OK, Ma is back at the nursing home. Not great, but better. It took three days to get a prognosis on her condiiton and it seems she has a permanent colony in her lungs due to the fact that she is no longer able to use most antibiotics, and is allergic to the ones that are more powerful, so she has a permanent condition somewhere just short of pneumonia. Something like that. I am having trouble understanding it all. But she is back at the home again.

Getting dark outside, and MUCH rain, so must go...
Will be back soon. Great works posted that I saw Xeno and Fusion, and thanks all for the kind posts. WIll be back in when weather permits to check PMS. Sorry so brief, but our cable line keeps getting knocked down by the weather. POURING rain right noW! WOW! See the weather channel guys! Hope anyone else here in this zone is safe and ok. AMAZINGLY bad weather the last few days.
At least Ma is out of the hospital and I can just work and try to catch up.

Til next post....keep on keeping on guys! And thanks about the Gordons and other heads. Glad the 9th Doctor and Rose made it. Loved painting those two. BillyB did a great job on Rose.

Gotta go!
