Q: 26 AUG

Do you catch any of Reaper’s Twitch TV shows? (How many?)

 

No, no time these days. Finally have internet speeds capable of watching livestreams, but Adulting is really time consuming. I barely have time to watch my normal Netflix/Hulu/Amazon shows.

What is the oldest figure on your display shelf?

 

Can you get us pix?

 

 

I don't have a display shelf, finished minis get a magnet on the base and put into totes for painted minis. Oldest sculpt is probably a triceratops from Ironwind Metals, might be an old Ral Partha. An older pic I already had uploaded. He's pretty big, about 4 3/4" from tail to head. Theoretically I could get a better pic, but that requires moving boxes and totes, and frankly I'm not going to risk setting my wrist healing back.

Q: WEEKEND 13-14 AUG


Premise: you are forced to relocate (you can take it all with you if you like) but you must go. The good news is you can choose anywhere else on Earth to live. Your new place is even guaranteed to be a bit nicer-larger. 

 

Where would you choose to land and start over?

Q: 19 AUG

Have you ever chucked a miniature?



(Hurled it at a wall because the paint job ruined it; trashed it for being too hard to assemble; binned one in anger, etc.)

 

Nope, never.

Weekend Topic—Slots in Bases. How do you like to hide, cover, or fill them when you want to make one disappear?




(Pictures of methods please!)

(Yours or some that you can find, either is grand.)

 

I usually cover them over with green stuff.

Q: 23 AUG

The Shelf of Shame

What is your definition of this phrase?  Have you noticed other people defining it differently from the way you do?

Box of temporarily postponed projects.

Q: 24-25 AUG

Food—Cooking

What is a dish that you have decided is One and Done? (You made it or ordered it; ate it and then put it on your not again list.)

 

Do you watch any Cooking Shows? which one(s)?


 

I used to watch them, not so much anymore. My favorite cooking show is the Halloween Bake off.

 

I can’t recall a dish I’ve made that was one and done. Usually if I don’t like a thing, I’ll modify it and retry.

Probably the out of production GW plastic Night Goblins from the 90's are oldest. My painted stuff has a tendency to find new homes.

I will see about putting up new photos on the Goblins later.

I don't currently have a display shelf, but this fellow might qualify as the oldest. He's definitely close if he's not the oldest. 

He's a fighter from Grenadier's 'Fighting Men' boxed set #2005, released back in 1980.

 Hrm... Not actually sure about the oldest figures, chronologically - I have a lot of old Partha, Grenadier and Heritage stuff I've acquired over the years. I could easily grab a couple of figures that are dated 1979 if I wanted.

 

These two guys are the first minis I ever owned, painted by the guy who got me started... The goblin is Ral Partha 02-060 from '79, and the kobold is... Well, I used to know.

These guys are the oldest stuff I have that I've personally put paint on, from back in my Testors enamel days... They from the Grenadier Dragon Lords 5002 Monsters box set from back in 1983...

E311
Dwarf of the Anvil, in Full Chainmail, w. Mattock, Striking Overhead
Tom Meier

(Lost minis Wiki strikes again!)

 

Just a remval of the flat part of the mattock blade, reshaping it, and re attaching it so as to have a battle axe...

Paints used were Pactra, Testor's, and Humbrol enamels

Found him in a box of unused minis and rescued him a few years ago...

that would involve having a display shelf...and currently all my minis are in storage

oldest models in my collection would probably be 15mm greeks/macedonians from the early 90s
AB and Essex minis if I remember rightly

I've got rid of most of my older stuff over the years (To make more room), so I think my oldest guy now is this early 00's maybe late 90's GW Chaos dude:-

While looking for him, I also found this Reaper Snake-Lady:-

Not sure how old she is, but she's been in there a long time.
