And that's why interns need to work silly hours. 

 

Bones: not just for Orthopods.

 

I no longer work silly hours, but I do work the occasional night shift. Where I'm totally allowed to get paid to sleep, as long as there is no work that needs to be done.

 

It's a decent gig.

I wonder if I will have the honor of being the last order sent out, that would be something sort of special. had two of the trouble models, and in wave 14..so that's gotta put me like at the literal tail end.

Well, I arrived home today to find a package the size of my daughter, weighting in at about the same weight I"ve lost since the start of this year. :)

 

Unboxing was.. wow.  So much stuff.  So much plastic.  I may have overdone it, I seem to have many-many figures.  

 

I opened Baba Yaga's Hut this morning, and was disappointed that it doesn't stand on it's own feet - I'm going to have to mount it on something.  Anyone know what size base you need for this thing?  It's a really lovely hut too, I'm tempted to try and get a second one and chop off the legs.  I liked the detail of having a trap door on the bottom for easier egress.

 

Edit: Oh, and I didn't get any duplicate paint, so that's a relief.

Several people mentioned having to heat treat (boiling, hair dryer, heat gun) the hut for stability

Chicken hut quality standards have really gone down in the last two thousand years.

My hut stands on its own feet just fine - definitely try boiling.

If my Kickstarter items are missing any parts, do I use the general Reaper help email or is there a special one? Just started going through my box & the Frost Giant Raider is missing the caribou :'( Possibly something else too, because there's three open slots, but I'm not sure if the ones on the bedroll are caribou-related.

 

Use the general help email: [email protected]

EEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Revised my estimate of orders per wave to 362, as waves 12 +13 have only about half as many subscribers. By that estimate, wave 7 should be at about 2557 orders remaining.

Thank goodness you're talking about the Bones Box and not MiniRed  

[sinless]

I keep refreshing my pledge page to see if maybe I missed mine going by. Maybe I should be working? Nah...
