I would take it if it looked like a bit of glue would fix.  Probably pass if it looked like it would take a pin or some sculpting to fix

Same - pinning drives me nuts but glue I can handle

Made my picks from the box.  I should be able to put my additions in tonight and get it in the mail by Tuesday

Yay! Winter witch has a new home! I bought her for a very specific NPC in my campaign - then forgot I bought her and promptly bought another one. Glad she will be enjoyed!

Found the next picture. The Box sat on the floor for at least two days until the desk could be tamed.

Much better. 
I think that picture was right before the great freez-O-thon. 
Enough open space to look at things anyway. 

 


Meanwhile the potion of box healing was curing...

Plenty of room:

There it is. Bedesked (not really a word) and ready for opening. Looks like this was taken around the day it all began to melt.

A happy box is a healed box. (That gorilla brand wood glue works well on cardboard; must remember this for terrain making purposes...)

@TGP are we going to get to see what you pulled from the @pcktlnt box? 

Yes.

 

 

This was thing one, the first item chosen, that will be staying here:

US quarter for scale. If my memory is correct it took awhile to discover that it had a separate gun barrel. I was going to snag it anyhow, but it is nice to have the part.

Sorry I will get a pic later of what I took, and the box was deliberately delayed until I could get to the nearest LGS [almost an hour away] to get some more figs. And the box is on it's way to Ferret!

Question for everyone:

When I was cleaning out the box, I discovered some broken figures ( some Bones black, and some Wizkids Nolzur's figures ). I've looked at 'em all, and the breaks are all nice and clean and easy to fix with a drop of glue. Will people take these, or are they going to live in the box forever because they're broken?

 

I realize that if the figure is one you probably wouldn't want anyway, it's gonna stay in the box, but if it's one that might be tempting would you take it, or ignore it 'cause it's broken?

 

Leave them in!  I like having items we can draw bits from (at least two of the boxes i got have had a bits bag with partial minis and parts for snipping and using for kitbashing.

Mod note:  Bernie is a political figure.  While the Bernie meme was funny, since he is a political figure then it breaks the No Politics rule.  While this may seem overly draconian in this particular case, the mod team decided it would be impossible to effectively moderate political content if we made any exceptions for memes or the posting of political figures.  We would inevitably be forced into a position of having to pick and choose which we thought were okay and which were not, which would then subject itself to individual biases, and so in the interest of fair application of the rules we have opted to forbid the lot.

Quite possibly, and we have already moderated posts of completed miniatures and works in progress that were too political.  Any art can be used to make a statement, and if it makes a statement that is political we would certainly remove it.  We will also remove any posting of political figures and related memes and pictures in general.  We *may* remove miniature pieces if we feel they are too political and this may be a stricter standard than that used on other websites.  There are few very good tools to use to prevent the proliferation of politics in a consistent and fair manner, and especially so when some people may feel compelled to try to find clever workarounds.  It is our preference that people exercise their own prior best judgement before posting content with political elements.  I get around, I know that other communities have taken a turn for the Mad Max because of things going on outside.  I know that for us, here, Beekeepers became a toxic pit of bad feelings so that's why we sent it off into the sun never to return. 

 

If you want a nice place to hang out and talk miniatures without a lot of outside-world garbage ruining your day, then that's why this rule exists and that's why it's so strict.

I actually grabbed the familiar off the sprue it was just impossible to see in my pic.

This is a nice haul.  Some nice looking minis for you to paint.

The dragon I got last year in a mini paint trade.  It was metal and it really looks nice.  You will have fun with that one.
