Depends on how you look at it. And BONES³ won't count as a hobby-related acquisition, especially since I don't know when that will kick off.

 

ETA: Also picked up the AMG Glaze Painting Guide earlier today...forgot about that one since I haven't downloaded it yet.

I assume it is something like the Memory Palace of Matteo Ricci, the Roman Art of Memory as elaborated and deepened by Renaissance philosophers and scholars until a single person could hold within their head a vast store of living knowledge organized in an architectural and reasily accessible form.

 

... Or perhaps not. This is the New Age we're talking about here.

 

For anyone interested, Frances Yates wrote a fabulous introductory book called The Art of Memory.

I had this thing smuggled all the way to South America  ...

 

And the new Google Photos disabled hotlinking so I cannot show it to you 

 

Edit: found a way back to the previous version!

Picked up two Scene-A-Rama: Desert Plants kits for $8.00 from Michaels. They were in the clearance section.

Included in each kit - 15 cacti, foilage, two bags of colored powder (for flowers), and two spray adhesives. :D

 

I picked up some stuff from the game store, but I don't remember what. Will take a picture when I go home.

I recently bought a set of medium grit plastic sanding needles -- the blue ones -- from Hobby Lobby.  It didn't register immediately, but when I got home I realized the package contains eight needles.  Upon checking an old package (with fine grit, the white ones) I had from a couple years ago, it contained twelve. 

 

Price was the same ($5.99), although the local Hobby Lobby sometimes marks the packs differently ($5.99 is on most of the packs, while I sometimes see one at $3.99).  Anyway, that seems quite a bit of inflation for expendable plastic tools.

• 02648: Schumacher, Ranger ($4.99)    

Schumacher makes a good not-Tanis.

So do I. The not-Elric is the reason I placed the order. The rest were to make the order worth it, and because I now like ToW minis, and must purchase them all.

My uhu glue arrived today from Thailand. Very fast! It looks like the right stuff, I'll experiment and let everyone know.

Who-nis?

[ub3r_n3rd]

@DF- Tanis half-elven from dragonlance... at least that's what I believe he means.
