Day of the Tentacle diorama
A long time ago in a printer far far away
….I printed some cool little minis. They were of the lead characters in the 90s classic point-n-click adventure Day of The Tentacle.
It’s a game that seems to fit in a very narrow niche. To those who have heard of it, it’s a part of our culture. But stray not-so-far either side of a specific age range of nerdy teenagers at the time, and the very name just draws puzzled blanks.
But for me and most of my (similarly-aged) friends, it was nothing short of delightful to find some Bernard, Laverne and Hoagie miniatures on Thingiverse a short while back.
Phew! That was close!I scaled the minis to be somewhere between 28mm and 32mm (it’s hard to tell exactly what they would be in tabletop terms, since their cartoony proportions make them distorted and they don’t quite seem to “fit in” with miniatures of either scale).
They’re very much out there on their own. But, printed up, they look great now they’ve escaped the confines of a 2d computer monitor and actually appear as 3d objects.
