That's exactly how I look when I have to take the Tube!

Excellent paint job.

Ah shit... I hear Warhammer Dwarfs and twenty-years ago, and I imagine the mid 1990's, not the mid 2000's... my knees hurt.

I still haven't seen the last forty minutes, and I started watching it before Christmas. It feels like a very LONG film!

Thanks, that was all really helpful.

I still think that when the time comes I might practice a bit on flat ground first though!

...I've got to be honest, I'd be pretty nervous trying that in an automatic car with no clutch pedal, AND apparently a lot of modern cars have an electronic/automatic handbrake. I think in one of those I'd just close my eyes and pray!

So an automatic will move when in "drive" without accelerator?

Some pretty steep hills in this part of the UK! If I was starting out, parked, facing uphill, I would; put the car into first gear, find the biting point using the accelerator and the clutch. Then when I could feel the car straining to move forwards, I'd release the handbrake and move off...

...Don't get me wrong. I'd love an electric car and I'd chose one over a petrol engine if I could. But for me at least, the cost and inconvenience of an electric vehicle and the unknown factors, makes them a luxury item that I can't afford.

For me it's about price and familiarity. A used electric car is going to cost me double to triple a petrol one. I've never driven an electric car, I don't even know anyone who has. Are they all automatics, how do you do a hill start in an automatic, where would I charge it?...

The Free plastic Wizard on the cover of White Dwarf 186 (I had the Bright Wizard pictured) was my first Citadel Miniature, I got the set of Dwarf Warriors around the same time.

I'd love to get my hands on that Wizard model again to paint 30 years later! I managed to get some of the Dwarfs on eBay.

They came free on the cover of White Dwarf 186. My first issue, and the Bright Wizard was my first-ever GW model. I'd love to get hold of one and paint it now, 30 years later!

I see them on eBay every now and then, but only for spiteful prices :(

Damn, now I feel lucky being 52,800th in the queue!

I have a theory that GW sold off huge job-lots of their old carrier bags. I keep seeing people completely unaffiliated with the hobby walking around with mint-condition late 90s/early 2000s GW carrier bags in my home town! I think they might be getting them from a charity shop.

Wow, that red!
September 14, 2025 at 8:43 PM
That red is so vibrant! All of my red paints seem to dull so much when they dry.

I heard they were just renaming them "Hero" air fryers.

Thirty-five year old joke there. Gotta stay on the cutting edge.

Yeah, thankfully it's a perfect match and readily available! Saved my Imperial Fists!

Colour scheme first, then name. THEN GW discontinue the primary paint colour from said scheme.

Then start collecting Imperial Fists. THEN GW discontinue Averland Sunset spray... 😄

I was ten when Jurassic Park came out in 1993. When they referred to "gas powered jeeps" I thought they were converted to run on hydrogen or something.

Please America, call it petrol or diesel as appropriate, not "gas"!

I wish I had a 3D Printer! These are awesome, really, really awesome.

I'm going! Got a little more spending money this time, so I'm going to treat myself to a boat trip along the Thames from Waterloo to close to the ExCeL. Got to be an improvement on the Underground!
