Old Stuff Day, the 2nd.

Another March 2nd has come upon us, and thankfully I can just squeeze in this "Old Stuff Day" post. Born as a way to bring new life back to old posts by Rob at Warhammer 39,999, there are quite a few bloggers who enjoy digging back into the past. I'm one of those guys. Here is last year's OSD post.

However, this time around I'm going to dredge up something older (and more amusing) than any post on this blog.

Back in 2005 I created two "life-sized", stuffed Gnoblars for use at a crazy Games Day event - Gnoblar Punting. Creating the patterns, cutting the cloth, and hand-stitching it all was certainly a labor of love. My wife was incredibly surprised by my sowing skills, especially given the number of undarned socks in my dresser drawers. The Gnoblar above and his partner in crime (not pictured here) went to quite a few Games Days and had the snot kicked out of them by enthusiastic punters.

The reason I bring him up tonight, of all nights, is that I've just repaired this one and given him to my almost three-year old daughter, who has promptly named him "just the Gnoblar".

I hope you like him as much as she does : )

Cheers
Dave

Old Stuff Day is finally here!

Rob, over at Warhammer 39,999, posted a few thoughts about the tragedy of blog posts that fall into the abyss after being checked out by faithful blog readers, posts that are still worthy, but will probably never again see the light of day. You can read more about Rob's thoughts here.

I think it's a pretty cool idea, so I thought I'd dredge up some of my favorite posts chosen from the largest of the tags in my cloud.

Blood Pact:

Chaos Star Tutorial

My Stalk Tank Completed

My Blood Pact Army

Charity:

Doing the Right Thing

Storm Wardens!

Napoleonics:

My British army in the Peninsular

I hope you enjoy a stroll back through some of my favorite posts, and it inspires you to take a look at some of the older posts on other bogs you may have just stumbled across.

Enjoy "Old Stuff Day" to the full!

Cheers

Dave
