(1) How do you deal with a cold or flu?
I tend to try to get a whole lot of rest. Despite what people say, once you come down with one Vitamin C is useless. I’ll just chill.
(2) Can you hobby when you feel run over?
On the weekend I’ll try to do a bit, but if I’ve had to take a day off work I won’t touch bobby stuff, because I feel a bit too guilty about having fun.
(3) Your opinion on the entertainment industry of the 1980s is…?
The vast majority of my favourite bands got their start in the 80s or very late 70s, and ditto many of my favourite movies. I’m certainly less irritated by 80s entertainment than most modern stuff.
(4) Name a tv show you liked when you were younger or a child
I used to absolutely love the original Ninja Turtles cartoon, and a tv series that only Aussies would know called Spellbinder. That was pretty cool – sci fi kids tv with pronto steampunk meets medieval
(5) What toys or tv shows influenced you, directly or not, a little or a lot into this broad hobby?
If I were more skilled I would love to be able to bring a very big Terry Gilliam influence into my conversions for 40k. Think Brazil, Time Bandits or the newer The Zero Theorem (visually great, even if the plot was pretty poor)
i pledge to get this tank tank done by the end of this week:
Using this as an opportunity to ask for advice, I want to make it look like it’s less camo and more that it’s a cult vehicle that’s been repaired and repainted in drive and drabs – buuuuut I don’t want it to look like I just fail at painting camo. Anyone have any ideas?
