nice civilians :) Don't be caught reading the book by a woman though- that is hopefully covered in chapter 1: 'If you need to ask or have it explained then it doesn't count: you are still wrong and bad'.
Those are some nice civvies Fran and I like the guy in the construction hat.
It's just wonderful that a book has been written to help you blokes out. Now if only you could understand the language it was written in. Thankfully though, the book has a fold out couch built into it so you've got someplace to sleep when you piss us off!
very nice figures. as for the book... why cant men just accept we are hopeless, even if that book included all the need to know information I would not be able to undersand it even if it was only 1 page long... so if this is the intro they should re-name it: what you'll be reading for the rest of your life
Not a best seller. Typically when you get a new "Gadget" you open the box assemble the peices and play with it. Only when it does not work do you even think of looking for the manual. (reluctantly) You then look up the one thing in the manual you need and put the mannual away somewhere safe and then forget about it. So no need for a big understanding women book.
Just think "Chocolate/flowers, shoes/handbags and Babies!" and the mens one is "Beer, foootball, and sex".
Liking the paint jobs, those civvies look ready to be rescued/cowering in fear.
As to the book "understanding women", like all science fiction/fantasy novels these days I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't part of a trilogy or some massive new epic.
The figs look very good; and I bet the book looks like that just to scare non-determined people off. Have to wait to the translation though, ordering it from overseas would cost me a fortune :)
Great miniatures Fran, this new project is very exciting. As for the book I tried to download it to the kindle, but apparently our broadband is not sufficient and subsequently it crashed the system. The rest of the village has had to resort to smoke signals now! ;)
That book look like when US politicians DON'T like the opposition's Bill. They print it out triple spaced, one side of the paper, 1" margins with large font and try to scare the voters with "mass."
That looks like a very usefull book. Big enough to hide behind when the missus is calling or searching for you! :-D I would like that my local bib orders this book. Do you have the number? I would like to see their faces when they bring it in. :-D
Nice one Fran! I've just ordered the book from Amazon!
ReplyDeleteNice figs. Looking great.
ReplyDeleteSadly, that is the abridged version. The full version is twice as long.
And when volume two? :)
ReplyDeleteLOL! Shipping costs were to much for me to get the book, so I'll just continue to bang my head against the wall.
ReplyDeleteIs that the abbreviated version of the book?
ReplyDeleteA diversity of colonist elated to be citizens of the long arm of the Franonian Empire. They are looking for the unemployment line.
ReplyDeletenice civilians :)
ReplyDeleteDon't be caught reading the book by a woman though- that is hopefully covered in chapter 1: 'If you need to ask or have it explained then it doesn't count: you are still wrong and bad'.
Is it available for the Kindle?

ReplyDeleteNice civi's, you knw Anne will have something to say don't you?
ReplyDeleteIan
Indeed I do.....
DeleteI bet that's just the abridged version.
ReplyDeletePffft that book must be 100000000 pages long haha
ReplyDeleteExcellent, something for the Aliens to eat, I am sure they must be getting hungry by now... oh BTW that book is still not big enuf!
ReplyDeleteNice little guys there but.. dammit I lol'd

Also known as the doghouse!
DeleteSame thing as buying a case of printer paper-all the pages are blank.
ReplyDeleteSome things man was not meant to know.
Great looking figures!
ReplyDeleteThe shipping charges on that book...will be horrendous.
ReplyDeleteNice figures as always.
I like the guy drinking out of the red bottle.
ReplyDeleteAnd Fran, that's only volume one of a Understanding Women.
Well, so much for my next blog! And it had so little to do with figurines... figures yes, but... damn!
ReplyDeleteI think that's just the introduction....
ReplyDeletevery nice figures. as for the book... why cant men just accept we are hopeless, even if that book included all the need to know information I would not be able to undersand it even if it was only 1 page long... so if this is the intro they should re-name it: what you'll be reading for the rest of your life
ReplyDeleteHa Ha Ha!

Sorted.
Those are great, GZG have some of my favorites 15mm, wish they would do more civilians

I wander if they do a kindle version. the p&p will be hell! Nice figs by the way Fran
ReplyDeleteNice models, and a decent read on the book. Am waiting for the digital version.. though i suspect it to take a few trillian gigs to store ;)
ReplyDeleteFantastic figures - really lustre-ful painting Fran. They look terrific. As for the book - that's genius. I've ordered a copy!
ReplyDeleteThe figs look very good; and I bet the book looks like that just to scare non-determined people off. Have to wait to the translation though, ordering it from overseas would cost me a fortune :)
ReplyDeleteGreat fig's Fran. That is the condensed version! There are no forests in the world with enough trees to print the full version!
ReplyDeleteWhen does volume II of 'Understanding Women' come out?
ReplyDeleteAs for the colonists, they look great, like they're ready for some parasitic aliens to burst form their chests!
Oh we understand 'em...lol. Nice painting Brother.
ReplyDeleteAnd, the book is STILL wrong!
ReplyDeleteNice painting too!
I'd have said that the book 'Understanding Women' would be a one pager saying 'Don't bother'.
ReplyDeleteGreat miniatures Fran, this new project is very exciting. As for the book I tried to download it to the kindle, but apparently our broadband is not sufficient and subsequently it crashed the system. The rest of the village has had to resort to smoke signals now! ;)
ReplyDeletethere's also a book WHAT MEN THINK ABOUT BESIDES SEX, it has about thousand totally empty pages :PPP
ReplyDeleteThat's just chapter one...you'll never get us because once you think you have us figured out, we change the rules.
ReplyDeleteExcellent book gag!(LoL!)
ReplyDeleteI'll wait for the paperback being as it's easier to read and all....
Nice btw on the miniatures too.
Christopher
And the next day, the Women of the World (WOW), changed the rules again, making the new book obsolete.
ReplyDeleteVery true!
DeleteA very useful book, but it need a lot of supplements, I think.
ReplyDeleteReally nice figures, too.
Understanding women? It'll never catch on.
ReplyDeleteUnderstanding women...what audience is it aimed at?
ReplyDeleteNice minis mate.
Cheers
Paul
hahaha, I got intrigued by the title of yours.
ReplyDeleteLove the colonists they all look lovely Fran.
Audio copy of that book is available? I would love to play that to my hubby all day long, all week long, all year long, long, long....
I loved Dez's reply. Cant use reply button now.
ReplyDeleteDez,
You are just awesome. Wonderful. Bravo. Love yeah.
"Understanding women"... priceless picture!
ReplyDeleteReally good paintjob!
ReplyDeleteAbout the book, this is vol. 1, the other twenty are in printing...
That book look like when US politicians DON'T like the opposition's Bill. They print it out triple spaced, one side of the paper, 1" margins with large font and try to scare the voters with "mass."
ReplyDeleteLovely painted figures Fran! Nice colours!
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a very usefull book. Big enough to hide behind when the missus is calling or searching for you! :-D
I would like that my local bib orders this book. Do you have the number? I would like to see their faces when they bring it in. :-D
