What machine are you using-laptop or desktop, Windows or Mac? Mobile device like an iPhone, or an Android phone, or other machine? Those details could be important to solving the issue.

He's a producer, apparently, who now owns several legacy brands. I remembered his earlier posts from a couple of months ago, which contained thinly veiled accusations of piracy against some other contemporary makers. I think he's gretzing about the costs of production. Prost! Brad

I don't think it's solely the materials that drive the price of a finished figure up. The fact that the market is limited has an impact, and the fact that whether it's a figure made from a sculpted master, a mold made the old-school way, and cast in white metal, requires a specialized set of...

I don't disdain 3D printing, but I don't feel the need to invest in the equipment and materials and learn the processes, at this point in my life. Though I have dabbled a little with Sketchup. But I'm still working with 2-part epoxy putty to learn to sculpt. Prost! Brad

If you're going to use water-based acrylics, I recommend using a wet palette. If you've never used one, a wet palette consists of a water-tight and hopefully air-tight container, a sponge, and a piece of porous material as the actual palette. There are papers made for this purpose. You wet the...

Larry Elder gave his theory on why it took her so long to speak. First, her people couldn't find a teleprompter, and second, they were all so distraught that they were too drunk to write the speech for her. Prost! Brad

Glad to see you got to enjoy yourself, George! I haven't been able to attend the HMGS shows for a couple of years, since they moved briefly from Lancaster, but it was always a fun event, an interesting event. I agree with you about the flea market. When I first visited Historicon, the guys told...

Yes, she was pretty, talented, a dancer as well as an actress. A while back, I saw this short on YouTube, it's a short film she did back in 1964, called "Where's the Bus?" It's an interesting performance, a little sweetheart! Rest in peace, Teri!

I found a photo online of the Tradition figures: The figures would all work for the English Civil War, too, I think. I regret never having bought the castings for this set when it was still in the catalog. It would make a nice display, following the many old images of the event. Prost! Brad

You should track down the Tradition figures of the "Meistertrunk von Rothenburg", Chris. The story is that in the Thirty Years' War, Catholic Field Marshal Tilly captured the Protestant town and threatened to burn it down. The city fathers offered him a flagon of 3.25 liter size, full of wine...

You remind me of this: Prost! Brad

a post-script...I had forgotten that Diane Franklin was in that.

Let's see...since that last post, I re-read "The Hobbit" and "The Lord of the Rings". I found I was able not only to read "The Hobbit" in an afternoon, about 4 hours, but also each book of TLOTR. That is, one half of each of the 3 volumes. About 4 hours each. That was the first week of...

See you there! Prost! Brad

I can root for the Padres, too, should they win. I hate the Mets. I hate the Yankees, too, and the Giants. I don't care about basketball, but if I did, I'd hate the Knicks, too. Heck, I just plain don't like NYC. Prost! Brad

I knew the Phils would lose, after the way they played in Game 1. Offense was in one of the periodic slumps they had during the season. You can't afford that in a best-of-5 series. And pitching alone can't win you a game-you need at least 1 more run than the other team. The bullpen also...

Listening to Game 4 now. I need my medication...

Stern is an overgrown adolescent. When I was still an overgrown adolescent, I thought he was funny. That lasted through the 90s. I enjoyed the sophomoric humor. But it was really more about the ensemble he put together, not Howard by himself. After 9/11, he spent more time spouting his...

I think the Phillies are done. The bats are in another of the slumps they experienced during the season. You don't win games with pitching alone, you need to score more runs than the other team. And they have Ranger Suarez going tonight. Everyone gushed about him in the first half of the...

I always think of a paraphrase something Max says in "The Lost Boys": "Silly people! Never let progressives at the levers of power. It renders you powerless." Prost! Brad
