ESCENOGRAFIA EPSILON are NOT prepainted.
The are painted. Predelivery if you like, but not Prepainted.
If they were prepainted they would be unpainted.
Its the same way you can't preorder something, only order it.
I might buy some painted buildings, do you have any?
I am reminded of the sad self-description of an American woman as unremarried.

Yes they are, painted before delivery so pre-painted. (i know it's a laugh, but lets not make it confusing for people with english as a 2nd or 3rd language!)

Doesn't that make them "painted pre-delivery" rather than "pre-painted".
My experience of this forum is that many people with English as a first language still get easily confused. ;D
How about pre unpainted and painted by Elves during shipping?
Surely you are buying "painted buildings ". They are not Pre Painted, Post painted (by postmen?) After panted. Part painted. They are just Painted.
I am minded to agree with Orcs
Pre-painted is correct.
As opposed to painted, as painted could mean they are shipped to you then someone comes around to paint them as much as painted then shipped.
Does this mean that a prefix describes the situation before something is actually fixed? :-\
So how should I class these TB horses I'm neatening up for Sir.

Postponies.
Pre-owned and owned when said in the present tense are both correct. Although what that has to do with this topic I don't know, but I am hoping it annoys someone, as I am just trying to rebase lead figures that were on MDF bases, fixed with 'No More Nails' and my fingers are screaming in pain - I want others to suffer with me :D

Docked.
Eh...
Wfiw I think you are all correct. They are pre painted (ie before shipping) so they are also painted when they arrive.
My father had fun with a Greek ship's captain once. With a safety inspection looming the poor chap marked everything that was flammable as "inflammable"
When we bought our current house it was pre-painted. After ten years it is now un-painted but since it was once painted it is in correct Americanish (apparently) to call it un-re-painted. Based on peeled paint I believe the pre-painting at the time we bought it was actually a re-paint of a the original pre-paint. Whatever the current state, I believe it can best be called post-paint. We should have bought the brick house up the street - the one with the vinyl trim (which is showing signs of pre-un-polymerization or maybe it's de-polymerization or maybe it's aluminum and not vinyl). :-\

Thanks! I owe it to a brief encounter with post-structural semiotics during my meager academic career. ;)
Thanks for reminding me why I threw over a tenured lectureship and fled screaming!
Here lies (or - dang - lays?) the path to sanity.
I may have to start a new thread....
As a lot of you already know, I listen to LOTS of audio books, while I push putty about for Leon.
There are many occasions where I find that I end up shouting at the little 'hi-fi' on my desk.
There are a few 'constants' where I go "NO....that's not how you pronounce that word.".....But yesterday I found myself ranting at the phrase "De-Planing".
What next ?......"I de-filled the can of soup"....." I de-shut the door."....."I de-painted the figures"

I think what we need here is some blue-sky thinking as to how we leverage our synchronicities so as to ensure that, going forward, we are all singing from the same hymn sheet and in consequence avoid a non-positive outcome for the brainstorming we are all positively participating in.
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Presumably the character(s) were exiting an aircraft? That seems to me the preferred term used by flight attendants.
Or - wait - was it de-plan as in "we had trained for this exercise for three months but it all went south in the first three seconds and we had to de-plan and wing it"? :- :P
Incidently there are people on this very forum who de-paint using solvents and a tiny wire brush (although I think un-paint is a better usage).
I share your mood.
Synchronicity was over-rated before it was under-rated.

2: Well, i got a very stiff neck"
1: "got caught sitting in a draft? dozed off in the couch?"
2: "not at all, you remember me saying i have a hard time swallowing pills?"

This has been a very informative thread - tells me who I am dealing with here!!! I was thinking of replying, but wasn't sure if the proper term would be pre-replying since I was only thinking about it. And then if I did think about replying but didn't like what I was thinking I'd have to de-pre-reply, or if I had typed it that would have been a post pre-reply, but then again if I didn't like what I typed I'd have to go and de-post reply . So I am not sure what to do here!
One cannot confuse "De plane, de plane!" followed by "Welcome friends to Fantasy Island."!!!
So this is my pre-reply, reply, that I am not going to de-reply.

Last Hussar, I am afraid I do not understand your reply to my post, but seems you took some offense??? For that I apologize as I was enjoying the humor of the thread.

Neither do I, Terry.
I took yours as a humourous reply....I wouldn't worry about it.
Cheers - Phil.
Um that was no real offense being taken (though knowing me I may have inadvertently given some). I appreciated the cunning linguist touches. But I was presenting myself as a angry pedant in OP I was playing to the role.
I'm still right about prepainted though...
;D ;D ;D ;D
Excellent !

Sounds like a bummer Phil! I'm still ding OK with my '93 Honda - not beautiful, but runs well and gets me from A to B.

Terry. :)
A very nice 'proxy' AA man* came out and sorted the Land Rover out.
(* He was a youth...as far as I'm concerned.....About 30 years younger than me... ;D ;D ;D ;D)
So that'll be running until we scrap her......VERY soon.
He also 'sorted' a problem on the little car...which wasn't in his 'remit'.
Like you, Matey.....all I want, is the little tin box on wheels to get me from A to B.

Cars
know. My last-but-one performed almost flawlessly for eleven years. I spend one weekend looking at Autotrader to see what's available for the money I've got and the very next week the head gasket goes, and it's off to the scrap yard. It had passed the MOT without needing any fixes only six weeks before. For a fifteen year-old car that was practically unheard of.
Cheers, M.

Being in an expansive mood, the stories of old vehicles inspires me to tell my first joke on the forum:
A Texan was driving through the mountains of West Virginia.
Rounding a steep curve he spied an old farmer mending the fence along the road. When the old man waved to him, the Texan was so charmed by this friendly gesture he pulled over to to talk. After exchanging several pleasantries about the land and the weather, the Texan asked,
" Tell me, partner, how big a spead you got here?"
Swelling with pride, the grizzled mountaineer point down the slope,
"Ya see that crick down yonder? My land runs from there, clear along that ridge up'er, to that there oak tree ya can barely see over yonder! It's a right big place for round chere."
Now it was the Texan's turn to boast,
"Not bad, but let me tell you about my spread. I can start driving from my eastern fence line at sun up and not get to the western one 'till near dark!"
The Hillbilly nodded knowingly,
"Yes sir, ah know what'ca mean, had a car like that once myself!"
I liked that one. ;D ;D ;D

Having spent a good deal of my life in Texas and being a UT Austin grad Bill, I have just one thing to say about your joke and that is
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Terry
PS - I think I bought that farmers car too!
Hmmm!
Are you aware the Texas-WV game happens right after I'm down for my visit? :-\ :)
Bill, and the reply to that would of course be - "Hook'em Horns"!!! :)
Terry
"Country Roads", brother, "Country Roads"! "Go Mounties!"
The game is in Austin this year and Texas is on the rise - should be a good one. :) :)
OK then I feel a small wager coming on, but then I'd just be taking advantage of a poor misguided soul!
Terry
I would not be opposed to a small wager. How about the loser makes a brief post in this space extolling the virtues of the winning team?
I confess, in the unlikely event I lose, I will find it difficult to identify any virtues for UT, but a bet is a bet. :D
So basically, what you are saying is that they come pared, rather than prepared?
;D ;D ;D
(English is not my first language, btw)
;D ;D
Indeed, Cavillarius!
Pared - to be in its natural condition
And the homophones:
Paired - to be coupled to another ( which may or may not be pared) OR to be reduced.
Peared - to be paired to conform to the shape of a pear.
It puts me in mind of various formal ecclesiastical and academic services which begin with a pre-lude and end with a post-lude.
This suggests the intervening time is a lude (which offers additional homonyms and homophones).
I like your thinking, Bill !! ;D ;D ;D
Cheers - Phil
Not sure I follow all the "pared" chat, but I will say Mr. Bill, that you are on. Loser must profoundly extol the wining team on this forum in this thread. Should I go ahead and send you info on the Longhorns to help you out, or will after the game be soon enough?
Terry

I'm whelmed. You've all been most dolent.
To be serious for a moment (normal service will resume in a minute) 'prepare' comes from the latin 'to make ready before hand', as opposed to 'pared' which would mean (if it existed in that definition) 'To make ready' - similar to deployed used to have a version called 'ployed' - to be in the column formation rather than in line.
Now we say unprepared. However we do not say unprepainted.
You may now go back to throwing stale peanuts from the mess bar at FSN. Its the only food he gets, poor dear.
=)
I have met several of your fans at games here - nice folks - full of Longhorn trivia - completely delusional.
You do know that we lead the all-time series in wins - right? :)
Playing Girlie-Man teams is one thing, but playing the Longhorns is facing a true opponent!

Ah - a lovely Autumn Saturday morning and the air is full of smack talk - which is right and proper!
Actually I agree - you have to be mentally tougher (slightly) to play rugby. I've played both.
The football "armour" does allow the average player to hit at a much higher velocity than most Rugby players, however.
It is true that in College Football (Kitty - I capitalize to show my deep respect) "injury" timeouts are sometimes used for tactical reasons.
I hope y'all watched all the vids Terry and I put up - They are glorious.
Incidently the fans of one of your soccer team seems to have appropriated our "Country Roads".
