I think it says something about me that I thought the obvious joke here was that I’m getting into phrenology, but people are just joking about me measuring my dick.
I don’t think this fact reflects well on anyone.

I must buy more types of biscuits for “research”.
It varies!
But within a few 10ths of a mm of 25mm usually. The early 90s ones are sliiiighty bigger, but I knew that before the callipers since they don’t fit well into the Apocalypse movement trays hah
The only skulls I will be measuring are at 28mm scale, don’t worry lol
A pair of digital callipers measuring a custard cream biscuit. It is 47.2mm long.
Since I’ve been having fun recreating old minis I’ve picked up some cheap digital callipers so I’m not just using a ruler and eyeballing it. I must now know the exact size of everything in the house.
Oh you added a new end credits sequence to Endgame? Is it a real one or is it just another reveal of a character we’ll never see again?
Is Kit Harrington in it?
I know the franchise has gotten oddly convoluted, but if you put out a tentpole movie and you’re saying it’s not willing to at least attempt to catch the audience up, then you’re admitting you made a bad tentpole movie before it’s even out.
I need to rewatch Avengers Endgame in order to understand what’s going on in Doomsday?
Are you sure? I have experienced fiction, I think ‘Cap’s back and now Doctor Doom is here’ are things I can probably handle. Do not give me fucking homework.
Look, I’m not one for bullying, but I do feel like that certain kind of rivet counter could have done with being stuffed in a locker a few more times in their youth.
a reminder that scrungaloids
Congrats!
Uncooperative Thursdays with Longfang and I is now live on Twitch with some Gray Zone Warfare!

Oooh, I had never seen that. Thank you! That makes adding detail so much simpler!
The Scorpio from Blake's 7. Which is a similar wedge shape to the Thunderbolt.
Whilst it would be easy to say there's a lot of Imperial Star Destroyer about it (and funnily enough would share a lot with the Acclimator which showed up in Star Wars over a decade later), I prefer to think that it's actually inspired by the Scorpio from Blake's 7.
Feels pretty lightly armed for something so big with only a Plasma Cannon and a pair of multilasers. Although, to be fair, the Plasma cannon is a significantly more powerful weapon during this era.
We're talking 10+D10 damage here.
Anyway, this is the sort of thing I spend my Saturdays doing.
Presumably this unit was abandoned in favour of the Thunderhawk, even if the Thunderbolt was significantly bigger. As in it could carry 4 Land Raiders or equivalent, which would have made an epic scale one somewhere in the region of 15cm long (I say as if epic was consistent in scale).
My 3d model of the Thunderbolt Dropship. There are very few details on it, it's basically a cheese wedge with guns and an engine.
Original sketches of the Thunderbolt from White Dwarf 117.
Some art of what are presumably Thunderbolts, releasing drop-pods onto the battlefield. Also from White Dwarf 117.
Made myself a long-forgotten Thunderbolt Dropship from Epic. One of those 'never got a mini and was only drawn a couple of times and not particularly consistently' kinda deals.
Very basic details now since it's based on some very small sketches, but will keep adding detail until it looks less bad.
Shadowsun has been sold! everything else is still available! (Again, UK only)
If interested please DM! Got a few days left to be able to ship things before I fly out
Once I've had the opportunity to test print all the parts I'll update the Rhino Kibble pack with a bunch more little bits you probably lost over the years.
I might not be able to get away with putting the main hull online, but I can at least help people with their missing panels, y'know?

Although one actual reason was it meant I could put in the odd little wedge of nothingness between the main hull and the tracks the originals had (and is often left out of recreations) without having to worry about how it would be to print.
Just a few small things to add and I think I'll be done.
Okay, I reworked how my MK1 Rhino STL is assembled and, if I've done everything correctly, most of it should be interchangeable with parts from the original mini.
There was very little reason for me to do this other than to see if I could.
New short! It's on a guy you've seen before on the channel but this time, the format is much shorter.

Okay, there would have been a new short out by now, but Dan Olson just put up a new video and so I just lost an hour and 20 minutes.
You understand.
There is a bit on there but I tend to give the problem areas a quick coat or 2 of liquid greenstuff and that hides a lot of sins!
The machine spirit wants what the machine spirit wants. Best not to interrupt it.
I assume they work exactly how the Ultimatum Answerer from Duck Dodgers works.

Just noticed I'd made a typo when copying down a quote for a script. So it read: "The Great Bell on Terra tolls at the death of great herpes of the Imperium".
That should be *HEROES*.
Thank you!
I'm using an Elegoo Saturn 4 Ultra 16K with ABS-like 3.0 resin. Slicer was Chitubox and I'm honestly just using the default settings for this (0.05mm layer thickness and 2.3 exposure time).
