I currently have – what’s the metric equivalent of – a crap-ton? of (freshly printed) minis to paint.
I’m trying to work on churning them out rather than spending a day or longer per mini. I painted up some elf football players before holidays and didn’t like them. So threw them away. It was pretty liberating. So I printed some more (and posted their progress in the 30 minute challenge forum post).
This is why I love 3d printing!

Re-watching old 80s movies – especially those you remember fondly – isn’t a great idea. Firstly, you’ll see that they’re awful; the dialogue is stilted, the action set pieces just don’t make sense, and some of the set-pieces are just down-right creepy. Ferris Bueller may have been the coolest school-kid in the 80s, but today he’s just a spoilt rich-kid jerk with a massive sense of ego and entitlement. Likewise John Candy in Planes, Trains and Automobiles. Bill Murray in Groundhog Day? All great films (at the time) but they really don’t survive a modern re-watching.
And let’s not even “go there” with everything that’s wrong with massive-at-the-time films like Dirty Dancing.

If you have fond memories of movies you last watched nearly forty years ago, the best thing to do is just recall the best bits you loved. You really do not need to rewatch Weird Science!
