6mm-Minis

6mm-Minis is Maksim-Smelchak's blog to discuss gaming, miniatures, books, movies, food, Israel, Judaism, life in general and other funny crud. My favorite scale of miniatures is 6mm, which is also called 1/285 or 1/300 scale. I enjoy many different kinds of games including ancients, Napoleonics, WWI, WWII, the Arab-Israeli conflict, Car Wars AKA Autoduel (a sort of crash'n'derby automobile combat game), 6mm Godzilla AKA Kaiju games, and science fiction games. I'm open to everything though!

COOL STUFF: "Abducted Pumpkins?" (19 November 2007)

.
TOP: "Oh NO, Mr. Bill!"
Hi All,

The best thing about having Halloween as your birthday is that Halloween becomes a year-round event... folks are always sending me cool Halloween-themed photos and web sites. This was probably my favorite pumpkin this year...

TOP: "Beam him up, Grozblorg! Get the probes ready..."

Just in case the photos didn't come through clearly, they are of a little guy getting beamed up by a UFO... Gotta love that!

I think that the quality of pumpkin carving seems to go up every year... more and more folks are buying the pumpkin carving kits now available and really going to town!

Viva la Halloween!
Have a great Monday!

Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.

Quoth the Cylon Jack-O-Lantern.
Hi All,

Simple post today because I enjoyed the above graphic so much and took a gander at the Galactica Watercooler web site yesterday...

Thanks for the cool graphic, Miranda!

And a few links:

One of my absolute favorite pumpkin carving sites:

And for those of you who didn't know the Cylons have a sense of humour, check out this campy dialogue excerpt from the 1978 film:
Cylon Centurion: Our Raiders are all destroyed.
Imperious Leader,: All destroyed? How? We took them by surprise.
Cylon Centurion,: Apparently it was not as big a surprise as we had hoped for.

Have a great Wednesday!

Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.
