Happy Christmas and Merry Sunday!
Happy Sunday!
Happy xmas. For new years I promise never to miss a “First!” on an xlbs 😉
Happy Sunday Folks, Merry Christmas to all. 🙂
Merry sunday, happy Chritqwanzahnucastivus!
Good paint brushes is a great gift.
Well, actually there are laser cutters that can change the focus of the beam and it can produce a slight beveled edges in the cut.
That’s a mechanical effect though right?
Fundamentally lasers are straight?
AFIAK To do a bevel with a laser you either change angle by tilting the emitter or material or make multiple shallow cuts to form a stepped diagonal. Once a laser comes out it only changes direction through reflection or refraction.
or is fitted with a mini black hole? they can bend light?
‘Halfling’ is the word you use when the Tolkien estate threatens legal action when you use the word ‘Hobbit’….
It was great to hear a Critical Role Reference on the Show. I think Vex’halia would have a serious problem if Grog had a bear pelt on. Merry Christmas all. Hope to see you on Boxing day, or as we call it in the states, Day after Christmas sale day, when all the decorations and crap that didn’t sell is half price!
Merry Christmas guys!
Strong gravity fields can bend light…Merry Christmas Justin! 😉
Happy Sunday and Merry Christmas to all! I remember that I could not keep up with the advent calendars when I was a kid. Usually I ate half on the first day and the rest on the second. It did not change much. I am a sucker for chocolate. Moving on, I would use the Clock Tower for Wolsung and Umbra Turris. Could be nice in Carnevale. Christmas presents for hobbyists are a true pain. I got paints for Christmas one year and was quite happy about it. My fiancée never knew what to buy from our hobby range. As… Read more »
My wifes the same, likes looking at what I’m working on, comes with me to open days and chats to the designers, authors sculptors etc, but ask her to buy me something and she’ll be dumbfounded. She asks me for a range of things I’d like for Christmas and pick a couple of bits of the list
Fundamentally lasers, wow! I remember when if you were talking about lasers the only thing you were prattling about was a cheap Chinese laser gun type toy with a friction motor driven by the trigger that spewed forth enough sparks to start a forest fire. However I do have it on good sourced authority that light which is basically a narrow beam of intensified light can and does bend, wait for it if enough magnetism is applied. This becomes more of an issue if you start talking about Black holes and such where it believed the cetral gravity is such… Read more »
Happy sunday and a Merry Christmas folks!
Do want those undead astronauts for a Dr.Who style escort scenario
Happy Sunday and Merry Christmas guys! When I saw the skeletons in the space suits, the first thing that came to mind was the Doctor Who episode “Silence in the Library” where the Vashta Nerada creatures have eaten away the flesh of the some of the visitors to the abandoned library. Justin was right, he never mentioned curved lasers. That was Lloyd. Justin was talking about that lasers in the laser cutters generally cut perpendicular to the cutting surface so to create a bevel or a chamfer requires a specialist laser cutter that can alter the position of either the… Read more »
Happy and Merry Christmas. I need to get the BoW crew to send me a some of the Christmas hats and poppers. I think that is a fine tradition.

You can watch all of the Gnomes (1980)film on Youtube. :¬)
Merry Christmas!
Do you have a link?
Lloyd is right about the GW paint pots, though it’s not so much because they’re flip tops, but the pots they use are particularly susceptible to collecting paint around the lid. Their old pots were much better.
Yes, I found some old paints, both Citadel pots and Vallejo bottles, that have been sitting for 10 or 20 years, and they’re still good. The only ones that have dried out are Partha paints in screw-top pots.
Also, the current Citadel pots are utter crap, for the reason you state. The previous generation (the mid generation, the ones that looked kind of like the current ones but with white lids) didn’t collect as much paint around the lid, but they didn’t seem to seal airtight anyway.
@lloyd: actually the first day of Christmas (at least the one the song refers to) is Boxing Day.
.@warzan Here’s a link to the movie Gnomes, unfortunately with original language, Swedish.
