@biggabum Always good to see you about. Very swank setup for the gaming. I should have a package out your way soon. I found I had packed it among the minis I’ve been dragging along with me. Funny what you find when opening random boxes stuffed into the car.
@woldenspoons If you want to make things even more dramatic for your table drop one of those Arachnaroks down. Mother of All Nightmare Spiders indeed. I think I have your package of stuff from last year in storage. I’ll check and get back to you.
@sundancer Lol.. yardwork did the man in and now he has to raise himself from the dead for work that’s going to kill him again. Toss it all in and make minis your vocation! I’d do that myself if I could. By the by the long awaited package might soon be on its way. Overtime hours have been kind to me.
@damon The calls your mom in law makes sounds like me with me dad on the weekends. I can say that the old bugger has been working with me to get his laptop up and running. Congrats to him that between two phone calls and 3 hrs worth of time I was able to talk him through Windows 8 to get his wifi connected and get him to copy of photos onto a thumb drive. Now to talk him through IE to get him updated to Windows 10 **shudder**
@dawfydd Ever the mass builder of GW plastic hordes. As a fan of Transformers would you take on a modification project? I picked up a robot that is part of some kids show and thought it would be cool to repaint/add bits to. Since I have no workbench I think you’d be the best fit for playing around modding it. If you have one of those Greenstuffworld rollers added cables would probably be neat. Due to the moving I’ve taken it from the packaging.
Well, this is today’s work. The full collection of images got posted to my project, but he’s how far my Dread has gotten so far!
Wow. It’s Wednesday already. A day and a half to get my pledge made and completed? That’ll be cutting it fine.
I’m working on some electronics-y stuff – actually, quite a lot of different things (from the new project to some playable gameboards, to LED-fitted miniatures for painting contests, to stepper motor-driven gun turrets….) so I should really pledge to get at least something finished before the weekend.
I printed this guy from Monstrous Encounters (I’ve spent a fortune on Patreon since the start of this month – if my furlough money doesn’t come through in a few weeks, as promised, I’m going to have some explaining to do when my wife wants to know why I’m reluctant to go out and do the shopping!)
It’s some kind of gun turret tripod thingy. It seemed impossible to just print and paint it. So I dug out some tiny little stepper motors (I may have salvaged from a printer or a flatbed scanner or something in the past) and mounted the turret on top of one. I’ve got until tomorrow night to get it moving under it’s own steam (ok, under 5v from a usb port, but you get the idea).
So. Lawns eh? I replaced mine with two tonnes of pea shingle a few years back. Plants look pretty in pots and you can move them about as the weather dictates. I’m happy never have to cut a lawn again, thanks.
Totally missed out on chocolate this year. My wife and I have been taking the virus pretty seriously (not like everyone isn’t – but some are a little more cavalier than others). We go out only when absolutely necessary. So had to make do with Rich Tea biscuits instead. (spoiler alert to anyone else considering it – don’t; they’re shit).
I’ve been speaking to family more in the last few weeks than I have in the last ten years. It’s been quite nice. It’s the one thing I’m going to try to keep doing once all this is over (that, and not working – I’m trying not to have to go back to work, but sodding bills and stuff keep getting in the way).
I thought I’d have loads of time not just for current hobbies, but to try one or two others. Now I’m terrified we’ll get the all clear and have to go back to work and I’ve not done half of what I wanted to get done!
