I was able to do a little more painting this month so I actually have the next mini ready for the giveaway. This month is the "A-Go Mogami" from the latest Forumini deck. Sometimes referred to as the "Hybrid Mogami", she was actually designed to be a scout cruiser like the Tone class, not a carrier supplement. Several sources showed a recognition flag painted on the A turret. That is unusual for later in the war, but hey, it looks cool! The Shapeways model is from Tiny Thingamajigs (matt_atknsn) and the base is from Reacher.
You can enter if you have not won a miniature in one of my monthly giveaways in the last six months. If you have a mini from me by any other means like a contest prize you are still eligible. According to my list the ineligible contestants are: ayrton12, mnnorthstars, OSCS and TrikiVic. All others are eligible. If the prize is not claimed within two weeks of the drawing I will roll the die again from the same list of participants.
Just post to this thread:
"Let Go my A-Go." before Monday, November 5th, 2018, 8 PM US Central Time (2:00 am GMT). I will compile the list in order of posting as usual, and then roll for the winner Tuesday night, November 6th, around 9:00 pm US Central Time.
The fine print: As always, entries are limited to members of the Forumini that joined the board as of the time this message was posted. I paint several copies of each miniature and the one you receive may be slightly different from the miniature in the photographs. Weedsrock2, his affiliates, and heirs, take no responsibility for the outcome of any game where this miniature is used.

My first thought was that this riff on an advertisement from the 1970s was dating us, but then I Googled it and found that the line endures. There are Leggo My Eggo websites and memes, fer Pete's sake! The Urban Dictionary even uses it in the sentence: "What the fuck bitch, leggo my eggo!" Thanks Weeds for doing this, and for bringing me up to date on contemporary language usage.
Those who don't remember their history are bound to do something or other...
