Questions of the week
Is the studio still off limits?
It was when I visited last week but only because the cement was still drying and needs a week or so to fully cure before gluing down the carpet tiles; maybe it’ll be in action before then (with a tasteful rug thrown down as an interim solution?)
If there was an OTT/BoW beer what would it look and taste like?
I have no idea what beer tastes like. I have an intolerance to alcohol. I once had a mouthful of Newcastle Brown Ale as a teenager. It tasted how I imagine piss would taste. I hated it. So I’ve no real idea about OTT-beer either – it’s also partly why I went for lunch with @avernos at the local coffee shop, not the pub 😉
With the new logo for “Hobby VLOG” what new logo will we see next?
It’s got to be the Gerry Can, right?
This week’s pledge: to win a 3d printer for my brother-in-law. I got me an AnyCubic Photon in January and just love it! My brother-in-law is a pretty good sculptor (he’s Italian and had a “classical” education, with lots of art and music and culture, which we sadly lack in the UK). I took on some work so he could create game art for me and through that he bought himself a honking PC for digital artwork and 3d modelling. So I’d like to get him a 3d printer. But I spent all my money on hiring him as a freelance artist, and going to “Norn Iron” to visit the Beastie Boys.
As it turns out, one of the guys I support on Patreon is running a competition and his “most impressive” terrain piece each month wins an AnyCubic Photon. So I just printed one of his terrain pieces and am stuffing it full of unnecessary tech, in an attempt to convince them that it’s the “most impressive” (and thus win a printer).
Of course it will have LEDs in it. But also a servo (for animatronics) and a tiny little smoke machine too, if there’s room….
I feel like saying out loud what I’m doing will make me actually commit to finishing it (instead of getting halfway through then lamenting not even being in the running to win a 3d printer for him!). At least then, it won’t be through a lack of trying if I don’t win 😉
