Truly the end of an era.
Many editors and writers have brought their love for Star Wars to the pages of Star Wars Insider magazine in its various incarnations, and deserve much thanks for their amazing work – but, sadly, in this instance,…

The open ones are a problem. Sure, things can come out of them, but it's easier to fall in.

Happiness is finding Apple had the Criterion edition of Tampopo for sale. This is my absolute, hands down, favourite film. Absolute perfection.

Let's raise some money for Oz! I've got a Christmas Red Gobbo, painted by me, with some flame effect, that could be yours. I'll start it as a blind auction, DM me with offers over £50 and the highest by the end of the weekend wins. I'll pay for postage in the UK and all the money goes to Oz.

#TheMummy4 - it'll have a morning conversation where a perfectly tousled Rick says he had that dream about China again, where Evie looked like the neighbour. She'll pout decorously and ask if she should be jealous. Banter and snogging. Bisexuality confirmed for millions, awakening for millions more.

Wonder if Trump knows he's about to be replaced. If he's not gone before mid-December, they'll let him have Christmas. Then medical complications, Vance steps in. The GOP try to blame everything on Trump and a few middle-rank guys. Speaker is toast. Vance maybe. GOP disintegrates into in-fighting.

My accountant of the last 25 years is retiring. I knew it would happen soon, but it still feels like I'm losing a limb. My file is being passed to another firm, and will be dealt with by one of the staff from my original accountant, but still. I first used Clarke's in 2000. End of an era.

The only problem with painting a mini for a competition thing is that, when it's all going really well, I can't share the progress.

Generally speaking, I don't ask for autographs from actors I work with professionally. It's something that feels weird to me. I'm happy just to have spent time with them.
I made this exception when working on Wheelman. Chris Fairbank was hired to play the Romanian gang boss. This was way...

When digging through old boxes unearths minis from the 1980's to 1990's. Anyone any ideas on manufacturers? Some are obvious, others much less so. These are just the painted ones.

@delaneyking.bsky.social - I have a mini-related question, oh Guru. I've never done water on a small diorama where the deep water was also the edge of the diorama. Is there a good technique/material for blocking the edges so you can do the pour? A material that can be easily peeled off after drying?
