    ### Start of shameless copy and paste ###

    First time visitor to OTT? Then please introduce yourself in the New Member Thread and look around in the Project System. Then come back and read on…

    Read all of this before you start as it will save you any trouble later.

    First thing you must do is make your “pledge”. It can be anything gaming related, big or small, and you don’t even have to finish it. No, in here, happiness is the road. Have fun doing whatever it is, but it is not a race. Accompany your work with pictures or we might think you are do something sinister and just using us for cover.

    You are also presented with a few questions. It is to get the conversation started. Try and keep your answers ‘conversational’, no text speak, and certainly no “basically”. This is how we all get to know each other better. While you are here feel free to tell us a story, show a picture, joke, tales of love or woe, or just add your own little bit. This is the whole point…in here it is just us.

    If you have never taken part before we may bark and bite, but we also like a cuddle! It is all done in the best possible taste and it is character building. feel free to give as good as you get.

    A few other things to note: NO RELIGION & NO POLITICS! Glasgow pub rules are in effect. If you need to make a better point then it is fine, but don’t take the piss. And always keep it civil. This includes no philosophy, no home computer culture wars.

    Play plenty of music to go with your work. Loud and through proper speakers. Write us a playlist of things we might not have heard before.

    Now, after all of that there is only one ‘real’ rule in here and it cannot be broken: NO DICKS! (Exceptions may be made for little fighting men with little plastic/resin/metal wieners)

    And don’t forget the highlights of the weekend: The Weekender on Friday and XLBS on Sunday. And the little show that is the unofficial Hobby Hangout over at twitch.tv

    ### End of shameless copy and paste ###

    Question of the week (courtesy of the almost-as-old-as-me fart @warzan ):

    • Growing old. Are you feeling it? Are you dealing with it? Do you have any plans for when Age happens to you?

    And now back to the show.

    My pledge (also courtesy of Warren): Tidy up my hobby/work space. As he I do have the tendency to just mess it up. And it’s not helping that the space is limited!

    As for my answer:

    Yes I am feeling it. Literally in my bones. Everything hurts all of the time. But most times I can ignore it. Eyes are getting worse and I am almost at that point at getting new glasses. (And boy are those expensive! G’Wullu has nothing on glass manufacturers)

    How am I dealing with it? Most times I ignore it until I can’t any more and then I’ll get new glasses, a magnifying glass with light or a new chair. Since I’ve done most of this recently I guess I’m good for the next 2 or 3 years.

    Luckily the shakes I sometimes get when trying to paint very fine detail are not getting worse. Especially since I use that magnifying thing and paint less tiny details. I’m never going to be a top class painter of models and that is fine.

    As for music: let’s go old school demo!
