"Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?" Topic

Do you have timepieces for your wargames? I'm thinking:

* Watches on figures (a very few)
* Interior terrain clocks (a few 1:48 dollhouse ones)
* Clock towers (one; old west)
* Sundials (Stonehenge is more of a calendar, but make a case)
* SciFi displays (I have, but none with time readouts)
* Fairly realistic aircraft consoles.

I would also say my TARDIS console counts as there is some time telling thing on it, but not the TARDIS itself.

So I have a few, but sparsely scattered about my collection. Not many.

Does anyone really care?
If so I can't imagine why

I am going to fall on the no side here – although I think a few of my sci-fi figs actually do have watches

It's a great song by Chicago.
I do have a mounted Bavarian Napoleonic officer looking at his pocket watch. It's a very nice figure.

I am considering the purchase of a resin house, for my wargaming village. It has a full-size watch face on the front. Does that count ?

If I do buy it, the watch will be the first thing to go …

Never considered it!

I have a few GI Joes with watches. And a clock tower building in 1/72nd scale.

I thought you were going to play a video or start singing….

I have an old carriage clock which I use to record (game) time for nineteenth century games.

If there isn't one in your station, the minis will never catch the train!

I run zombie apocalypse games & some of my minis have wrist watches. At least once I thought that I'd finished a figure then noticed that I'd not painted the watch.

I don't recall, some of my post-apo or sf figures may have wristwatches.

I do have a megalithic circle, but it's a simpler construction than Stonehenge, and I would want to argue it counts as a "clock" of any kind.

Bubba knows it's time fer youz to git offen hiz propertay!

Interesting – I do have a church fold flat model that could have a clock, some do some don't. Haveing a clock that does not work would mean having it set at 12:00 a time used to signify an no working clock in the UK. Would I notice the clock, no. Our villages inevitable are at least 10 houses often plus a Church. That means your eye does not light on detail. If you look as the real conerbations near me you often don't see the roads in places they are hidden by the houses, you just see rooves. hence no I don't have time pices.

At 1/144 and 1/172 you would never see a real scale watch under the 3ft viewing advisory and again with so many figuers (30+) all be it based, again detail is not a thing you see, its pattersn not individuals you see.

At the Pub they have a clock so that does to evaluate time before closing and at home the computer clock does the job.

Clock on the church or a big house, not really usefull but perhaps a fun thing for a show where we are really just a diplay.

Would never have even thought of it without this thread. Thanks.

Aside from liking the Chicago tune, I have some 15mm Minifigs WWI British officers looking at their wrist watches, I suppose to coordinate their impending "Over The Top".

Cheers!

My figures make do with a piece of paper…
