Oh yeah, I know about startup costs. But I figured they're already looking at Combine unit molds intensely (I hope?), and with the added stretch goal, commit to take the plunge.

Done! I'll swap you my GITD for a Mark-I AND Mark-II OR a single Mark-III-B if these ever come out. We can haggle over any extra stuff I might owe you for the Mark-III-B as I'll grant its worth more than a vanilla Mk-III.

I don't really get glow-in-the-dark miniatures. How do you paint them?

Imagines a light wash over the GITD so that it glows in some parts, and not it others...

How do you feel about Howitzers? I like a mobile defense. (Plus HWZ counters work fine - they always wind up flattened anyway.)

Why do you paint them? :)

As others have mentioned, I can see it as a desktop item.

Other than that, I can see painting parts of it such only certain parts glow.

If only, indeed! Unfortunately, my daughter was not consulted in the choice of stretch goal colors. And perhaps Steve might regret that!

Oh, my friend. The chaos of a four-year-old daughter is but a mere breeze as compared to the maelstrom that is a 15 1/2 year old daughter! There is no Relief in THAT Anarchist Front!

(Hmmm . . . sparkly pink Ogres . . . I wonder . . ?)

Ok - this sounds cool. I hadn't thought of this, but now you've given me all sorts of ideas . . .

GranitePenguin's idea, really. :)

Not currently on the horizon.

If you use reflective paint, will it give you brighter glow from the unpainted parts? You could do headlights, or glowing gun muzzles.
