If its too hot to paint there is still hobby stuff to do. Planning out the next model build is a good standby. High heat is definitely good for the curing of glue. If you don’t get the odorless stuff then I’d recommend stowing that stuff away in places not capable of being smelled. The more intricate the detail of the piece means more time so it will help in whiling away the time until things cool to slap around paint. Terrain building is also a boon for the time as well.

For ergonomics I’d say sitting is my friend for painting but other building is all over the place depending on the construction.

Innovative/unusual basing techniques of my own aren’t really much to speak of. I guess that my most unusual thing I’ve done has been to use plastic scraps from cut pieces and affix them to urban/industrial decay bases to emphasize the breakdown of structures into mere rubble. Beyond that I’m apt to pick up random bits of garbage that tickles my fancy that would be of use from the sides of roads, in alleys or off of construction sites. Bits of car debris garnered from car accidents yield interesting plastic odds and ends.

I’d go skydiving to say that I’ve done it and tuck away in my pocket as skills to draw on if need arose. SCUBA diving might be more useful and likely of greater value in recreation, survival or for underwater welding.

Did I miss my Giftmas deadline?! I’m confused. My catclock goes off and tells me when the lightball in the sky shows when feeding the furball must occur because I, as his designated salty pink feeder monkey, have opposable thumbs and can open cans.

I missed last weeks pledge on the December Acolytes and I’ll finish it this week. I’ll forego videogames in order to get that.

 

@sundancer When did you turn to the furry side? Did you suddenly find Wookie boots appealing from the Janu-hairy bruhaha that was talked about? Are you feeling ill and having random thoughts of how delightful the companionship of your very own ewok might be (in the same sense as in the movie “Paul”)?

@dawfydd Good stuff to work on. I think your Diet Knight is looking fine as is. There’s no need to lose anymore weight. As far as your Cadians/Raptors I like what you’ve done. The two Inquisitors really pop in the photos.
