Jealous. When I was a nipper I used to buy St Augustus (I think was the name) moulds so you could melt model metal on your stove and then cast endless figures. 

 

Could never paint them though. Got a games workshop book explaining how to that cost £25. Step 1. Paint the basic areas the basic colours (skin, clothes, weapons). Which was the bit I was having trouble with. £25 quid for one useless sentence. It still hurts today. 

 

No idea where all my old moulds are. Probably in my brothers attic somewhere.

if you want to try again, you can go into the shops and they sit down with you and show you the paint techniques. They will even give you a free model and let you use their paints, the first time. And you can keep going back fir extra lessons and skills, like adding transfers and stuff.

I want to get into painting my board game minis and have everything I need to to do it (well besides speed paints or equivalent which I'd like) but am too scared to start. Also priming them seems somewhat daunting. And of course time. 

My boy tried the spray primer, but he held the can too close to one and it slightly melted the details. So now he uses slightly watered down base paint in fine layers. He actually uses black for the base cos then the shadows are kind of built in.

I am unbelievably heartened from the fact you think that would be enough to overcome my natural inabilities. It is very sweet of you. 

 

The only thing I ever learned about painting models was if you lightly brush plastic models along the exposed edges with chrome paint it makes them look like metal models that the paint has worn off on. Which has the amusing result of when people try to pick them up they instead throw them across the room due to how much lighter they are than they think. Is genuinely more amusing than you would imagine. 

 

Plus I don't think there are any Games Workshops here, certainly not in Nijmegen. Sadly.

We are quite fortunate to live relatively close to a city.

 

The new models are quite clever that the paint doesn't seem to easily bleed into the wrong areas.

Makes zero sense dude. Only thing that changed was your vote. Not going to discuss it further but logically, your point is wrong. 

 

No your logic is wrong and pointless lolololol...

Why isn't Oscar at his desk with Angela and Kevin?!?!?!?!?

Oh holy crap, the Black Tower mafia games like WW2 are still alive. Time to relive 12 years ago with my favorite victory ever.

Oh yeah they are all archived for your reading pleasure. There's still the handy list of all the games in the Arena but not everyone can see that. It was in lockdown until Sinister opened it up, when we were trying to find the Roller code

Verb, you're still voting Len, as the closest to confirmed town,  if you have to choose between RTE and Cass, which way you leaning?

 

For transparency, I would have been ok with either lynch.

Well. That group of three had Cairos and Gud but I'd like to sub in Heavy instead and see where that goes D2 if I'm still around (can't imagine mafia targeting me) 

 

tbf I haven't ruled out targeting you.....  😉

So what is this Zander/Lenlo/RTE? You just feeling guilty or what?

 

Tell me again how I'm more suspicious for trying to stop you lynching a townie? 

 

This 4-way feels weird.  Mathematically, there has to be scum in this group, but I have a feeling there's more than 1.

Or better yet.

 

How much to shoot dice in both kneecaps then both hands then stand above him and Say..."The Zannisters sends his regards" before putting the rest of the clip between his eyes?

Aww the QTs are lost to time.

That was a disappointment.  No QTs at all now. Which means you can't share the Mafia Chat, even if they give consent.

 

There must be a similar thing somewhere that's not too difficult to use

 

But I'm too lazy to find whatever it is.
