Thanks to @evilstu for hosting this week! I aim to be much more involved this week than I was the last.
What hobby can you do when it’s too hot?
Assembly mostly for me. I put together those Dark Angels while the temperature was too much for paint recently.
I think @sundancer has the right idea: Play during the hot/cold times.
Do I sit or stand while hobbying?
Sit. I sit. I’m on my feet all day at work. It’s not unusual for me to get between 8000 and 10000 steps in a day. Sometimes more. I can rarely be bothered to stand around and hobby at home. Even if I’m working on something up in the garage I’ll usually find a seat, unless it’s quick.
Unusual basing technique?
While I was working on my Elves I thought I had run out of 25mm round bases… the horror! But I came up with a cunning idea…
Currently for that project I’ve been using epoxy putty with a stamp from a company called Happy Seppuku (http://www.happyseppuku.com ). So what if I took some thin card, glued some 25mm washers to it, and covered that with the epoxy putty instead??
Well… it kind of worked. I had a gap to fill usually, between the detailed top and the washer. So I used hot glue. Then painted the bases, and went around the edge with black. It’s rough… but it worked.
Thankfully I have since found another stash of 25mm round bases, though I do now have a full pack of washers should the need arrive…
Scuba diving or Sky diving?
Sure, I’d try sky diving, after plenty of practice ?
Mainly just to recreate the feeling of this classic old PC game (from 0:26 to 1:06)
I loved that game, and the sequel.
@sundancer Bonus Question?
What brought me to the hobby?
Family is what! It was basically I given, as far as I can see, that I would come to this hobby… lol!
My parents, my uncle (dads brother), my eldest cousin (his first son), my youngest uncle (mums youngest brother) were all dabbling in the hobby in one way another in my early years. Back in the beginning of the 80’s. So, no internet or mobile phones to distract us. Tolkien was always on the shelf.
Young Uncle had Heroquest before we did, but I got Space Crusade when it was brand-spanking-new one Christmas. We got our own copy of Heroquest later.
