What's a poster you had up in your room growing up?

Me in bed with chicken pox, being visited by my older bro. 80’s Posters galore.
Warhammer 40k, Dark Future, Red Ferrari poster and lots of film posters from the local video shop or empire magazine

WipEout was released 31 years ago. Since the game is set in 2052, we're already more than halfway there. 😁 A technical gem, this Psygnosis game made a huge splash on the PS1 (and other platforms). Especially with its electro soundtrack and in-game branding & artworks by The Designers Republic.

Oathmark: Work in progress on a few more Orcs. I’m almost done with these ones, I just need to add some red markings to the shields and then finish the bases. 👍

Picked up a few #Battletech mystery boxes from @tychosgames.bsky.social (quick delivery, super service thank you) and yeah I’m happy with them. I’m on the edge/tipping point of getting into BT (prob alpha strike) but just fancied painting a few.

Finally… only took twenty years? Yep he’s been sitting assembled but unpainted for an age. I got him painted for #oathmark a while back but now he’s based and can take pride of place on the shelf with the rest of the army. Worth waiting for! #nerdlings #wargaming

Saw these old Kwik Fit and Do-It-All commercials on You Tube yesterday. An annoyingly catchy tunes sung by jolly workmen. Alas Smith & Jones did an excellent spoof of these types of commercials and even got Daniel Peacock from the Do-It-All ad! Chef's kiss!

A colour test that isn't quite what I had in mind. I'm not unhappy with the result, it's just not quite what I'd planned - a suitably scrungly boi, but not the yellow I'd hoped to achieve. Ah, well. It's all learning! Scrungaloids from @opensketchbook.bsky.social at: cults3d.com/en/3d-model/...

omg he actually did it

A screenshot from twitter. User @MrBeast writes : "Growing up I thought books were boring, in reality I just didn't read anything that actually interested me. Which is why I teamed up with James Patterson to write The Most Dangerous Games! For many people this might be the first book they actually read (and hopefully enjoy haha) give it a read and tell me what you think :D"

There is a photo of a book cover which reads "MRBEAST THE MOST DANGEROUS GAMES. JAMES PATTERSON"

A screenshot from Garth Marenghi's Dark Place. The caption reads "I'm one of the few people who've written more books than they've read."
