A young girl uses an X-Ray Shoe-Fitting Machine in a store. Her mother peers through the viewing window, smiling at the bones in her daughter's irradiated feet. A suited man, possibly a shoe salesman, stands behind the machine.

A crowd of kids and teens stand around an X-Ray Shoe-Fitting Machine as a woman X-Rays her feet. A young man in white stands on the opposite side, his foot one the raised machine platform, exposing the bulge in his pants to an extra helping of radiation.

Old print advertisement for X-Ray Shoe-Fitting at Rochester Sample Shoe Store. It promotes the benefits of giving your child's tender foot proper shoes "for a lifetime of foot health and comfort." The drawing of a family standing around as their skirt-wearing daughter x-rays her feet appears as if they're all glowing with sweet, sweet radiation.

Thread 1/6
The first half of the 20th Century introduced us to the wonders of radioactive technology. People rushed to embrace it.
It was the future.
In shoe stores you could x-ray your foot for a "perfect fitting shoe." While dosage levels were mostly minimal to customers, not for store employees.

I'm about halfway thorugh repainting a unit if these myself , also with the Ostermark colours

That is some amazing freehand there. Almost thought it was sculpted until I zoomed in

A Primaris Invictus Tactical Warsuit on a stony field with ruined buildings. It stands on the body of a space marine in red armour. The pilot sports a white face, a metal facemask and a shock or red hair, while the suit is painted in bright colours and has a back banner of a leering clown's face.

Mini of the month - what’s wrong with you?

WTF is Wrong With You, Brother? When I said we were Terror Troops, this is not what I meant.

The Talk

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

This is an important read

Those kinda people make me sick

Entered!

A decayed goblin skeleton in black robes stands in a woodland scene. A gigantic red cap mushroom sprouts from the cap of its robes and smaller mushrooms are growing from inside the hanging skeletal jaw. The goblin holds a giant scythe that is covered in bright green lichen. A spiders web is being strung between the blade tip and the handle. The wooden base has a collection of different mushrooms sprouting from it.

The circle of strife. 

#Nerdlings #MiniOfTheMonth

Did this not long after getting back into painting minis a bit over a year ago. First big model I did on restarting the hobby. Might use different colours now, but still really pleased how it turned out

I look forward to a time when all this madness has passed and the most infuriating thing I read each week is the pun at the end of Stupid Lore Sunday

To my European/Canadian mutuals - please make sure you are sharing videos and photos from this event and others like it. It is increasingly clear that media in other countries is not covering events like this so that our allies believe we are doing nothing. PLEASE be sure to share things like this.

It feels like the last part was made by someone else and stuck on at the end. I still re-watch it every few years though

That's not a black miniature. It's a b... It's a b... It's a small, off-duty Czechoslovakian traffic warden!

Overhead, a flight of Hellions carrying red & white striped candy canes leads a Drukhari Raider, on which an Archon is dressed rather incongrously as Santa Claus, through the winter skies. While Ur-Ghul in red Santa hats prowl the snowy landscape in front of a webway gate in search of those who have been naughty.

Naughty Or Nice?

Lovely work there!

Empire steam tank - the old model with the commander sticking out of the hatch. It would be a shame for him to stay inside and hide his glorious moustache

Might not be my best painting of the year, but definitely the tying I'm happiest to have painted for the tabletop

A pun so terrible I couldn't not use my amateur doodling skills to illustrate it.

I see wheat you did there

Saruman and Grima Wormtongue models from middles earth strategy battle game

"Saruman?"
"What is it Grima?"
"Are we... The Baddies?"

Dunland wildmen with flaming brands

They're not a vicious mob. They're just helping everyone get their fires lit. Honestly...

The first picture is the single image showing the full tower and summoning circle next to it.

The final montage image shows two views of the balcony including hatch, and the garderobe in full detail.

The next montage picture shows the three components, along with details of the dormer window and well-used garderobe.

The second montage picture shows the steps to the main entrance, summoning circle and the components as two twin towers - Prin’Gl and N’Tell-ah

The Lentil Tower of Pizza? It's a great idea for the stonework. Looking forward to seeing how it turns out.
