But, yeah, they are long!

And when I not upset myself about the long waiting I could be creative...
Like, dunno, creative!

I even made some proofs:

This one shows the minis I done waiting in the FP queue back in 2023... Yeah, that much stuffs.
Ironic how better I am with these minis (still very bad they are compared with other modellers') than actually playing FP (N U not wonder 'ere, ja?)...

This one is most recent, because 2024's queue aren't trully better:

It looks really nice at night. Gave lots of really bad ideas you know...

And here is the playlist (in case if... But I doubt...):

Feel free to drop comments. I dare to say this because you never do, haha!
Yeah, easy being brazen with such terms...

And remember:
Waiting times in FP queue is not long... Just you need more patient!
+ FP is excellent! DO IT!!!

Funnily I actually like the longer waiting times. U can watch something, paint etc.
QP is too long waiting, but not enough to actually start something beyond maybe YouTube.

Come play quickplay with us, we have small waiting, we get stuck in holes, we make rotato salad and we shoot each other in the back, its more fun here !

[crazytimes]

Yet people still want to split queues and add modes.

Remember when there was two FP modes, group queue and solo queue, and Solaris all running at the same time.... But if you didn't co-ordinate with other people all you had was solo queue? Great times.

OP nice work I should have been working on my race cars but I just played QP

Crazytime when you think about it we had a lot of things to do back in those days

looking back releasing the "long tom" and scouting at the same time was not a good idea
I was off playing scouting and actually never saw the "long tom"

the beef's "long tom's" video got removed from YouTube so you new people could not see that great video lol

[LordNothing]

need more fp events, its the only way the wait times are tolerable. and they are usually non-existent during events.

I started to work on an 1:72 Fokker. Some work if queues would be loooooooong...

I doubt you would really wanna see me in yer games Bein' a mere T4 I rarely go to Never-never land... I lately do QP only when could drop my three T1 friends as a group. That cause me to appear in your high-games The last 10 such drops I ended 7 with green arrow last year. It seems FP really had some effect on my gameplay (negative effect sure, footages prove that...)...

People always want something. Mankind collectively able to made the biggest and dumbest of things. MWO is just something like that in smaller international scale...

THX! Sometimes I could be creative. More times than I is kind...
I remember you a couple of games from those times I chilled in T5. U killed me a few times and I thought you are from the higher tiers.

You, good sir, are more than right!
Moar FP events! I like better to if not killed by a series of headshots by PRIMO in every 4.-5.th matches...

Nice work. And yes, I do get a lot of painting done while I'm waiting for FP matches. This from a few years back:

This is very cool! Looks kind of a Glabrezu.

Both this and the drukharii posted by Ignatius are cool. I really love to have some but in my country such minis are insane expensive and very limited... I once wanted a drider mini but after eight months of waiting I cancelled the order. The local retailers\salers not bothered to show anyhow which models are available and which are not...

[Duke Falcon]

I now started some new projects to fill waiting times and make my life more miserable:
https://youtu.be/mSC7OwitXJY

Yes, driders in 1:72 scale because... Because I lost my sense of reality...

Frankly: AD&D minis are terribly overpriced! A drider mini in my country falls between 8.000 - 14.000 HUF (hungarian forint) + shipping fee... It's kind of shameless stealing (no, our currency is a piece of sh!t...)...
So, I bought about 80 minis for 12.000 HUF (included shipping) and started to kitbash those.

These are but the first two, the learning curve, proofs or disproofs of concepts! Both based (by paintjob) on real spider species (the posture otherwise more like the BioWare's NWN driders from Hordes of the Underdark)...

So, if you have some cool looking spider species, let me note! If they fit for the shape I would gladly use those for paintjob reference! <= I know only the spiders of the Carpathian-basin and some other european countries so american or asian species would be welcomed! Just grant me a scientific name to google them!

Well... they triggered my phobia of spiders, so they must be good minis. Nice job.

For pricing, I find that Reaper Miniatures are the most affordable you can get, even cheaper than shopping people who print their own on Etsy. Their older metals are a bit more, but their new resin line are pretty cheap. Not sure what that works out to in your local area, though, but US-side they're affordable.

Here's some of the older ones I did for a showcase challenge.

That's why I started 3d printing initially. But it's kinda an own hobby and a bit more upfront investment.

Great job there.
I started making my own, more for display size though.
These are resin prints btw.

Like the idea of put more mechs on a base. Pretty cool dioramas could be done that way!
+ I love that Crusader! Looks cooler to me than the actual in-game version...
