Doctor Sinister

Oh yes, if you could, that would be great! Dr. S.

Ah, very good, carry on. :-D Dr. S.

SN - good on you for trying something new. The sanded one looks better - but I thought the original was kind of cool, I'm not saying I'll buy one mind you, but I didn't think it looked bad. Dr. S.

Here are my second ever minifig custom(s) (after Doctor Sinister himself) - I spent the afternoon ripping arms off and putting new ones on: Linky Dr. S.

This is quite an image intensive page - but I think it's cool (although I did write it). Tabletown Troops Dr. S.

The Tabletown PD uses H&K MP5s and Walther pistols. The Tabletown Army will use a mix of some heavy custom weapons I've made myself, M16s (probably used by the vehicle drivers) and pulse-rifles for assault troops, plus grenades and pistols. Dr. S.

The entire Tabletown PD is equipped with Brickarms weapons, and shortly the Tabletown Army will be similarly supplied. Alas, the criminal fraternity is also armed to the teeth... If you check the front page of the Brickarms site right now, one of my Vignettes is there! Dr. S.

Will, the chap who owns and runs Brickarms, asked if he could use one of my "Intruder" vignette pictures (the one with Santa Claus) on the front of his site to get people to order before Christmas - check it out! :-D http://www.brickarms.com/ Dr. S.

Sooooooooo....are we done? If so, I'll think about putting a voting thread together, although I'll need someone to set up a poll yet as I'm not grown up enough. :-D Dr. S.

I've been very restrained and I'm opening mine day by day as well. Although as I said somewhere else, how the Tabletown budget is supposed to fund the MASSIVELY bloated fire service, I just don't know. Dr. S.

Phew. Seriously though, thanks for the input, a guy on another group yesterday said he had "issues" with it but that it looked "cool" but he wouldn't tell me what those "issues" were. I bet he had a good laugh at me. :-D Hopefully I've stopped looking like a fool now (nah, never!). *y* Dr. S.

OK, I've remounted the shoot after some Sinner-inspired modifications. Sinner - tell me what you think now (new images should appear up top). The new descriptions are as follows: 1) The Venom features a NOTAR (No Tail Rotor) design, instead using vectored thrust from a nozzle on one side of the engine to counter the torque generated by the rotor blades. 2) The tail array generates extra lift and is itself armoured with the same classified ceramic plate. To prevent the Venom from nosediving, extra thrust is generated at the nose from vents either side of the minigun assembly. These vents can have extra thrust diverted to them to assist the rate of climb and add to the Venom's agility in the air. Does this cover it? :-D Dr. S.

I figured you may want to fire the exhaust one way or the other to enable the chopper to spin left or right quickly. As for the tailfin, I'll bow to your better judgement. Aerodynamics was never my strong point, I just thought it looked cool, that was it. :-$ I'll get my coat... :-) Dr. S.

This is super-cool, it's gonna take a lot of firepower to knock this thing over, I can imagine it just advancing remorselessly, shrugging off all incoming fire and wasting everything in its path... I would suggest you call it something other than an APC though as I wouldn't want to be sat at the back with a load of missiles. :-D It's so wide, deceptively so from the first picture - I reckon this baby would be good in any terrain with the weight spread so evenly - must make it a very stable weapon platform. *y* *y* Dr. S.

I had a feeling you might say that when you saw these - I made these first and then made another for the Venom, so now you can see what it was originally supposed to look like with the handle and everything. Dr. S.

Well done Chuck! *y* I am burying my entry in concrete in shame. :-D Dr. S.

LAST DAY FOR ENTRIES! Get them in now or I will have to...extend the deadline again. :-D :-D Dr. S.

It's green - sometimes the lighting changes the shading slightly, not sure why. 8-| Dr. S.

Yep, the lime green is a parts thing - I had no choice with what I had to use some lime green for the hinges, so I figured I'd try to make it a feature. :-D Dr. S.

Similar reasons as to why I bought mine, to see what they were like, but I decided against using any BL pieces - weapons, oil drums etc - with my LEGO in case I got lynched. :) Dr. S.

I know what you mean, it's so blocky as I had to build up the level slightly in order to accommodate a minifig, there's no real way around it as I can't make the floor any shallower and I don't want that cockpit canopy any higher. It's a compromise I'm happy with. Dr. S.

Twelve days ago I posted my first military MOC - and now, I believe my Army is complete. Well, the vehicles at least...I'm working on the troops - a temporary stop-gap is ordering some stuff from Brickarms, but in the long term...who knows? And so...here it is! Click on the picture for a larger version! Dr. S.

These are the most notable of the heavier "small arms" currently in service with the Tabletown Army. The Army is a fully integrated force and all equipment is designed with this in mind. Therefore, much of the equipment will often share the same components or design philosophy to assist with routine maintenance and operations. In addition, all weapon systems are designed to be fully compatible with vehicles able to mount them. Furthermore, in an effort to improve logistics, the Tabletown Armed Forces will, where possible, use weapon systems that do not require any ammunition other than energy, although this is sometimes not possible or practical due to mission profiles and the current technology that is available. The first notable weapon is the T84 Heavy Assault Rifle - intended to replace squad-based Heavy Machine Guns, the T84 is capable of firing up to 50 20-megajoule plasma pulses in one minute, and more than 1,000 shots before recharging. Although unsuitable for close-quarters urban engagements due to its size, the T84 is ideal as a suppressive weapon to fix enemy positions and allow flanking operations. Below you see a typical weapon rack containing 12 T84s - the rack recharges the weapons when they are not in use. The T84 can be attached to the rear rail of a Sentinel Class RUV without difficulty where it can be fired remotely from the cabin controls. The next weapon is an electrically operated Mk VI Accumulator Minigun ( as mounted on the Venom). This weapon is capable of firing 4,000 rounds a minute although ammunition must be carried separately, this time in external cases. This means that only the strongest of troops can actually carry the weapon and the ammunition - so more usually a fire team of three men would carry the weapon into battle, with ammunition and their own sidearms. The Accumulator supplies devastating firepower in support of infantry operations. This Accumulator has been mounted on the rear rail of a Sentinel RUV. Again, the weapon can be controlled remotely from the cabin, including the ability to track the weapon left and right. Ammunition in this case is stored in the back of the vehicle. The Sentinel is robust enough to withstand the massive recoil generated by the weapon. Here we see Doctor Sinister with two Pulveriser Class heavy plasma cannon. This weapon is similar to the weapons mounted on the Triumph LAV, although less powerful, relying on an internal battery or separately carried power source for energy. However the output of 35-megajoules is nonetheless impressive for a weapon of this size. The Pulveriser is usually carried into battle by two men. As you can see here, the four supporting legs of the weapon can be folded to allow for various firing configurations. Here the legs effectively become a bipod, allowing the weapon to fire at an angle or for an operator to swiftly swivel the weapon from side to side. When not in use or being transported, all the legs are folded. Redeployment of the weapon once on site is possible within two minutes. The Pulzeriser is too large and heavy to mount on any vehicle smaller than an Aggressor Class MBT. The Aggressor does in fact feature two interface sockets either side of the turret to allow additional weaponry to be fitted, and here you can see an Aggressor with a Pulveriser attached to the turret side. The legs of the weapon have been completely removed. PLMKWYT! Dr. S.
