If we have computer-aided spray cans, can computer-aided paint brushes be far behind?  link |

If you make that in pea dot you could be a Thousandair |

So basically, they've invented the printer? |

Get back to me when they can do diced hose. |

Still waiting for someone to produce a tartan paint. Though I'm thinking about Thracians rather than Scots. |

Actually, always wondered – did Thracians have clan tartans or were they just random? |

Why would you want diced hose? I hear it tastes horrible. |

If you dice a hose, it leaks, doesn't it? |

Obviously there is no hope for some of us…

Don't like diced hose. They're biased – never yet managed to roll a six with one. |

"Still waiting for someone to produce a tartan paint. " Just have to figure out how to get the magnetized paint particles to form up correctly into the proper patterns before it dries… |

They have used robots for spray painting cars for a long time Technically it is possible – something like printer ink cartridge technology could be adapted to painting miniatures. However I doubt that the market would ever be large enough, unless there is some other market we could piggy back off Registration of miniature to printer and software would be major issues to overcome Here's another thought. "Virtual Reality" is starting to happen where your glasses project an image of something, so that it seems to you that there are real objects – there are a number of prototypes out there. This could replace miniature gaming altogether …… As for the tartan paint, I have a kickstarter for it that I would like you to contribute to …. John |
