My pledge:
************

> Work on some ‘The Hobbit’ miniatures: Bifur, the Goblin Scribe and Radagast. If I finish them, excellent, if not no harm.

> Post pics of work I completed during the week (Hobbit stuff again)

That’s it! Pledge small, work big and do some add ons.

My answers to the questions:

1. Since we Hobbyists tend to get a lot of mail, how do you “deal with” a parcel coming to you? Are you checking the tracking details constantly. always running to the mailbox or are you content to just sit and wait?

Try to make sure I am home of course! HAHAHAHA!!!! I order it to a friends house or to my parcel motel account. It’s the easiest thing to do. Nobody was too pleased when my huge-ass Game of Thrones kickstarter arrived.

2. What’s your favourite leftover food to eat straight out of the fridge?

Indian. Specfically a Chicken Cheese Kofta. It’s a kind of curry like dish with Indian meatballs, chicken, no veg and a layer of cheeses on top. It is freakin glorious. Glorious I tell you. I had it reheated for breakfast one morning, much to the disgust and naysaying of my parents when I was at theirs for Christmas. I intend on making a tradition out of i.

3. Are you a fan of Tournaments or Organised Events?

I am, but not win at all cost tournaments or overly competitive events. Sometimes smaller events are better. I hate unpainted, or badly painted bare minimum armies at events. Doubles tournaments are the best imho. Id love to try a BoW hobby weekend thing. To me, it is an event, and it is organised! Though it is not organised play, per se.

As for real tournaments, I need to enter more martial arts ones. After I get back into training more and lose some weight. I need to cut my teeth again with fighting.

4. What’s the best “Socks and Jocks”/”Stocking Stuffer” gift for a Hobbyist?

Small things that fit in said pockets. Land Raiders, Thor Heavy Walkers, and a game of Thrones army set will not fit. Small blind bag space marines, easy build kits and blister packs do. As well as dice, gaming supplies, tokens, cards and such. As an Orc would say ‘hobby gibbinz’.

5. You’ve just been given a new rulebook, assume it’s a fantasy/sci-fi genre, what’s the first thing you do? Do you read from page one, look at the artwork, read the fluff, learn the rules or maybe something else?

Flick through it quickly paying attention to the font, structure, consistency of titles, example diagrams/photos, colour pages showing off the faction, fluff, and if there are designers notes or thoughts at the end.
