the first full squad of Outriders posed out. This one is second company 8th squad; i'm absolutely going to do at least two more squads of three (3rd and 4th company) because holy shit these are the coolest and most self-evidently retro models in the army by far

Not to be a party pooper but Star Trek was one of the most expensive things on television in 1966!

Season 1 had a budget of $192,000 an episode, the equivalent purchasing power of just shy of *$2 million dollars* today!
"This episode is from the season where CBS gave them a budget of $29.99, inflation-adjusted."

bike sergeant. i only have ten days to do a whole squad if i want them for a painting competition in town, so i probably won't manage it, but it'll be fun to try!

This speaks to a deeper rot in the culture that I can't quite articulate. It is like how Black Panther, Wolverine, Han Solo, etc., aren't allowed to be recast.
James Bond’s death in No Time to Die is causing a nightmare for the next film. Writers are stuck because Bond “was blown to pieces.”

Anthony Horowitz, author of three 007 novels, says:

“You can't have him wake up in shower and saying it was all a dream."
