1. What hobby progress can be done when it is just too hot to paint (totally not asking for myself… it’s for a friend of a friend of a friend…). Conversely, what hobby progress can be done when t’s too cold?

Assembly, list building, peer hobby support online, conversions, background writing, terrain making, forum stuff

When it is too cold I am of the opinion you can still paint but I think aside from priming and airbrushing, when it is too cold there is still a lot you can do. Even paint.

Or play Dungeons and Dragons, which imho is EVERTHING-PROOF!!!

2. In this day and age of OH&S and ergonomic enlightenment, do you prefer to sit or stand when doing hobby? Does this vary depending on the activity you are undertaking?

What the hell is OH&S? Sit down all the way with hobby but I have to be careful how long I sit and how I sit since that is what I do mostly at work. I cannot stand and hobby. That is madness of the Lovecraftian variety.

3. Give us all a rundown on an innovative (or at least slightly unusual) basing technique that you have used before or would like to try.

Painting liquid green stuff thick onto the base to simulate water, slime or lava after assembling a model but before priming it.

4. Would you ever consider skydiving? How about SCUBA diving?

Hell no to either. The first one because SPLAT and I have too much to live for and the risk is too high even if it is kept to a minimal.

And I’ve heard of people getting stuck scuba diving training at the bottom of a pool for like two hours and not being able to get up until others have had the sense to realise they havent moved. FART! Not into it.
