Is there an out of date mini that you particularly enjoy? have you got pictures?

Well, I just painted up an old plastic necromunda Orlock trooper. And I do love GW's Battlefleet Gothic minis. And the old (early 2000's) Chainmail minis.

I'm not that big on old minis (except the old Games Workshop Chaos Champions, they were cool).

 

Expanding to newer, OOP minis it's a shame the Guild Ball range got canned, lots of characterful stuff in there:-

If you didn't know, ThunderheadStudio has been steadily redoing a lot of the Dougram ones and has been posting them on Thingiverse. 

 

If only I'd known I would get a 3D printer and that there were so many mech stls out there I might have saved myself a lot of money on the Battletech Kickstarter. Had a handful of metal mechs most of my life and now a lot of plastic ones, more coming soon (hopefully) and a huge pile of standees. Time to go download some of those.

Do you wake up at the same time on weekends as you do during the work week?

 

If at all possible I like to sleep in on weekends.

First thing that comes to mind is the Stygian Barge from Bones 4. I guess they never released it, and may not due to some sort of unspecified issues. I suppose that counts as out of date?

G.W's old plastic Night Goblins have a charm & a WONDERFULLY merry silliness that the new versions lack:

See what I mean.

Look for Matt Mason's stuff on MMF.

I had been thinking about it because I had been painting an old syntha mini from void. And while it's a bit dated looking I still like it.

 

They were cool way ahead of their time. Too bad they didn't get wider popularity.  I have a box of them around somewhere.

ever forget what day of the week it is?

 

Too often lately. 

 

But I rarely have to be anywhere at a specified date and time. Today is not one of those days.

Many, many times. Working from home with little human interaction has made it very noticeable.

 

Add in the fact that I hardly watch any TV these days, so no TV show expectation (that and we're in summer rerun season), so even my evenings are very similar.

 

[Note to self: get wall or desk calendar.]

When I was working?  Not really, because I had weekly customers, so it was usually relatively easy to figure out what day it was. 

 

Now?  I kind of rely on YouTube to know if it's Monday or Friday (Tom Scott video on Monday, Bad Gear is Friday), and Twitch for Tues/Thurs/Sun (ThunderheadStudio).  Oh yeah, Twitch for Monday (Walter's Workshop and Teelsikire) and Wed as well (Walter's Workshop, as well as Corvus Oculum). 

 

I do try to remember what day it is, but right now I have no real reason to pay such close attention (except every second Friday to fill out paperwork).
