Is May 1st a holiday in your country too?
I’m not sure I’d even notice it this year. I don’t think the 1st *is* a holiday in the UK? We usually take the following Monday as our May Day Bank Holiday.
How are you feeling?
Pretty f*@king great right now. I’ve had four or five projects on the go (hence being relatively quiet online lately) and a biggie was hacking a bunch of K838 digital photo frames I bought nearly ten years ago (for a business idea that failed to catch on). It’s taken me three days to get my ahead around some of the crazy code I put together a decade ago, but I finally got them to do my bidding – I’m going to have some pretty awesome cyberpunk advertising boards for my terrain pretty soon….
What is your biggest one-time purchase in the hobby?
I dropped about £230 on my resin printer and associated bits and bobs in January. That felt pretty big (but has been well worth every penny). I remember when I got my Army Painter Mega Set when edition III came out – that felt like a massive spend too, with the extra tins of quickshade and a load of brushes.
Nobody doing pledges this week?
I still feel a little like I let you guys down not getting my stepper-motor driven gun turret finished. But I’m justifying it to myself because I’m working on a pretty massive project at the minute (of course it involves lots of electronics and will tie in tabletop minis and terrain and all kinds of crap).
On top of that, this week I learned to paint eyes (thanks to Lyra Mev on Youtube)
And for this week my pledge has to be to complete the gang of cyberpunk renegades I started, once I had the confidence to paint eyes first. Yep – first, not last. Jeez, it makes it *soooo* much easier!
I got the eyes and the faces painted! Now just to finish the rest of them…..
