It's far more fun to use 3D printing for 2:1 copies of GW models.
(Although in this case I only used it for detailing that would be hard to do in plasticard, 3D printing is proving a popular way to get models to play the old "Inquisitor" Specialist Game at its original 54mm scale).

And I don't think this person realises the SHEER IRONY of using AI to disparage 'modern slop'.
Finally, I would like to note that using "TBH" as a phrase only started from the late-2000s, so they really don't remember how things were.

I have made both 28mm and 54mm =][= cells, but I've converted many of my 28mm characters out of old metals.
People treat me as half-mad when I do those how you would have had to back in the early-2000s. (Even simple things like "slightly narrower shoulders and a new female head" are non-trivial).

"Low birth rate is the biggest problem", says the hyper-billionaire who directly helped create the economic conditions in which people can't afford to have families, and the political powderkeg in which they don't want to.

On that note, years back someone on DakkaDakka asked how noticeable the size difference was between the Mk1 and Mk2 Rhino models.
I posted this photo in response.
(Although I did own up at the end of the post to trolling).

For anyone who's wondering where I got this and why, I scratchbuilt it for the 54mm scale Specialist Game "Inquisitor", basically twice the scale of WH40K.
There's also a Sentinel (most often used as a power loader), an Arvus Lighter (seen here before paint) and a work in progress Tauros Scout.

I get the general point of "function over form", although I think that "half the scale" is probably a bit hyperbolic.
As one of the fairly few people who do actually have a Rhino of that implied size on hand, I can arrange a couple of photos for reference:

If you see this, post a tank.
I can only find a small version of the WHW photo (clearly old, I don't think their Rhino hasn't been parked in that spot for years), but I still like the stupid perspective trickery of the three different scales.

This is probably about the fourth or fifth time I've posted this render as a meme response, but it turns out it's applicable to so many things.

(I don't post a lot of my renders here, because I'm not sure if the people who've followed me for my very occasional wargaming posts have any interest in the other weirdness that leaks out of my brain, but I'm going to jump on this post chain).

A few of the photos I never got around to uploading from "The Pebblebeach Parahelion" 54mm Inquisitor event down in Brighton back in December.
(Poor internet connection on the day, then got wiped out for two weeks by a flu I caught on the train home).

I would like to pretend that I do things that aren't the same character in silly outfits, but I'd only be lying to myself.

Aside from an inability to define the 19thC, it then proceeded to tell me that people had been elected several months after their death, that Winston Churchill both was and (correctly) wasn't elected in 1964, that no-one older than 42 ran in 1966, and that which of two people is older can swap.

After hearing we had our first MP born in the 21st century, I wondered who the last one born in the 19th century was.
It was a slightly odd question that it sounded would be hard to research, but hey, an AI with access to a huge database should be able to answer it, right?

As far as completed models, either my 54mm scale Rhino/Razorback or Arvus.
On the "I promise I'll finish it one day, honest" pile, the 54mm scale Warhound.
