So this topic is on time and the one last week simply was early ? 😉

1) How do you handle it when you are late?
Late ? I’m never late, unless I need to travel by public transport and there is a massive *beep* that I didn’t account for.
(Usualy I plan to arrive at least one train/bus earlier when using public transport)

2) How important is punctuality to you?
Only Germans would think it more important than I do

3) Have you seen the white rabbit?
I think it went that away =>

Dee Gees :

Now … I was planning to do stuff not sure if/when I get to do it  ’cause I first got to make a choice which project to start 😀

This week’s pledge is to prepare the really big models for gold leafing. I also will continue reading up on ancient Egypt.

1. How do you handle it when you are late? – With extreme embarrassment – unless imposed by my other half which I have learned to accept.
2. How important is punctuality to you? – Very important – unless being late due to my other half running late where I have learned it is not worth the stress.
3. Have you seen the white rabbit? – Can’t say that I have.

This week I will carry on with the Assault Intercessors, because at this point I might be working on them for the rest of my life… The armour is basecoated now, though, so that’s nice!

Questions!

How do you handle it when you are late?

I am very rarely late…I’m usually early. Honestly when I am late it makes me incredibly anxious and agitated simply because I’ve usually over compensated for the time it will take me to get somewhere. I have a reputation among friends for usually showing up an hour or so early then wandering around for a bit. 😛

How important is punctuality to you?

If there’s a reason someone else is late then I’m usually cool with it, but when I’m late myself I consider it to be very bad. I’m weird like that, I guess.

Have you seen the white rabbit?

The one with sharp pointy teeth? How has anyone not seen him? Look at the bones!

How do you handle it when you are late?

I apologise. Then try to style it out. I hate being late. But if it’s happens, there’s not much you can do about it, and I’d just hope the other person understands that it’s not intentional. It drives me crazy when my wife insists we don’t need to leave *now* but we’ll be ok if we leave only exactly the right amount of time to get somewhere. Being late drives me mad, yet I’m pretty cool about it if others are late. Sure, they may be being rude or selfish or inconsiderate. But they might just have stopped on the way over to help and old lady across the road too.

How important is punctuality to you?

It’s both critical and unimportant in equal measures. I managed to get back onto a narrowboat a few weeks back, and one of the things I absolutely loved about it was that everything becomes timeless. You can’t work to a clock. Sometimes it takes ten minutes to get through a lock, sometimes it takes an hour. Sometimes you aim to reach a destination by a certain time and sometimes it goes dark before you get there, so you stop and moor up wherever you are. There’s always tomorrow.

But at the same time, once I’m in “city living mode” punctuality is everything. Any social interaction that involves an agreed time – it’s like you’ve broken the “agreement” if you don’t make it on time. And on a micro-level, don’t get me started about those guitarists who come in half-a-beat late when they’re taking a solo….

Have you seen the white rabbit?

No. But on the canal I did see a deer going for a swim and a field with over a hundred geese and goslings in it.

Pledge? Get some more paint on some more inhabitants of Jabba’s Throne Room. I got waylaid with visiting family and hospital appointments and stuff this week, but did manage to get Bib Fortuna finished and a couple of guards blocked in. Slow and steady wins the race, right?

Here’s your music. You can thank the Youtube algorithms for this one; I didn’t actively seek it out:

I’ll leave you to follow the links to discover Enter Jazzman and other classics.

I have finally finished the armour on my Marines…it’s taken me long enough… There’s a few patches where the drybrushing was heavier that I’d like, but I decided to add some red panels on a few of these chaps just to break up the blue a bit. It’s a bit of an experiment to give my Ultras a little more character here and there. We’ll see if I like it or not…

On the subject of music, I found these recently.

I quite like Battle Beast.

In other news, my app-based tabletop game is nearing completion. I thought I was done with it, but took on a freelancer to build a UI to make it look “nice and pro” (ok, a bit less crap than my nasty coder art everywhere). It was ok. But not very inspiring. Then I got sent this and – although it looks a little busy as a static screenshot – it works really well.

I sent out hardware to a few people last year and spent the earlier part of this year refining the gameplay and functionality. Just when I got a final, full game working, I ripped the code to pieces and have spent the last six weeks or so re-writing it.

Here’s where it’s up to (preview from a Unity editor, not a mobile device)

So now it’s working really well and looks quite nice too. I just completed a full game – moving my minis around the tabletop and everything – against the computer! Give it another week or so, and I reckon it should be ready to make a few playthrough videos, if anyone is interested….
