I... can't stop staring at it. Like there's... there's... some fleeting slither of absolute enlightenment hidden in there somewhere, almost within my grasp but not quite. My god, it's beautiful.

Thats just plain weird, but also quite charming in a funny kind of way :)

Hate to be so destructive, but that doesn´t look like Siddartha Gautama to me at all, rather like a fat doll baby from a Tim Burton animated movie sitting in a split watermelon. :?

Don´t like it at all. What´s wrong with Reaper these days? Prepaints, and then THAT?!? :(

EDIT: Let me rephrase the above, it´s not Reaper, but Armorcast, as the Prof pointed out below. Now, I´ve seen (and wondered why) over the last Armorcast releases prior to their "hiatus", but I did NOT see THAT ONE coming. No.

Uhhhh.... duhhhh... now how did I mix those two up?!?

Must be that Frothers Forum. I saw that site layout and instantly thought "Reaper Catalogue Website". You know, white-ish backdrop, b&w photos, etc.

I wasn't aware that the Reaper catalog used the words "twat" and "wanker" with such frequency.

I'm afraid I'm going to have to purchase Steam Buddha, even though it has no connection with any project I've planned, started, or conceived of, and is very silly.

I'm pretty sure the Japanese had one at the siege of Tsingtao in 1914.

I think they used it to brew their tea.

Neither did I. I must be one of the appreciated customers. Or maybe I have not found their more interesting range of miniatures.
