One of my buddies years ago had an uncle who did G-scale trains, and the guy's cat used to ride it like a skateboard.

Non forum-related... Yes, I am judging you. I am judging you and the verdict is not in your favor. In fact, this may have just become a death penalty case... :rolleyes: 🤬:devilish: Gah. People are sooo fracking annoying. I'm about to start checking whether you can get free shipping on...

I almost picked up Valheim recently, but the visual style put me off. Games I'd like to see... An rpg based on either The Black Company or The Malazan Book of the Fallen, especially if they could do something that would let you run solo or small-party missions and then switch to...

That was roughly six hours of work right there, factoring in the learning curve. If you do decide to build yours, I'd recommend picking up a ring mandrel at a craft store to help with the curved bits. I used a lot of different round objects to bend the metal over: the mandrel, my pin vise, some...

Not an actual miniature, but close enough scale-wise - I recently finished assembling the Metal Earth model of the Millenium Falcon... The ship is about 3 inches long front to aft. My miniatures skills (and my magnifier) have been invaluable in this endeavor, lol. Currently in-progress on the...

Jim Steinman originally wrote Total Eclipse as part of working on a musical adaptation of the film Nosferatu that never happened, then Bonnie Tyler recorded it, and then later Steinman recycled it again when he wrote the music for Dance of the Vampires, a musical based on The Fearless Vampire...

I need to do that again one of these days - it's been a while. My general procedure is that, if I haven't clicked it in the last two years or more, or can't remember what the hell the link was for, I delete it... Although... I do have a bunch of links in my favorites list to long-gone pages and...

I went in for about $175 on the Fairy Tales Battle Royale miniatures KS, and after all the crap that went on with that, they apparently didn't even have a record of my pledge... :rolleyes:

I've lived by this quote most of my adult life, but that's actually the first time I've ever heard it, lol. The cap in my avatar pic is the one I wear every day. Well, he is a lawyer or something like that, right? :p

Wake me up when we get to Jurassic Universe, and the dinos are fighting with Aliens and Predators...

Cool Story: The company that manufactured the miniatures for Macho Women with Guns* - a small outfit called Simtac - was fairly local to me and, through a friend, I once found myself at the house of the guy who ran the company, playing some WWII tank battle on a big table in his garage... *And...

Never played TSL, but I've always been fond of Macho Women with Guns... :p (And it has its own miniatures, too...)

I can't do a backflip, but I'm awesome at doing backflops.

Well, it's not really a mini, but I just finished the Metal Earth model of the Millenium Falcon... Ye gods, those things take forever, lol. It has a tendency to tip over forward, so I packed the hollow base with greenstuff to give it some weight and stability. I'm now on to the tie fighter...

I've seen some truly sick freehand on cloaks over the years...
