so … first actual work week of the year done and dusted.
Time to see if I can do some hobby this weekend.
Got an email that the Scale75 Instant colors kickstarter is shipping ‘soon’ (tracking appears to not have activated yet).
We’ll see how that goes. I doubt it will arrive this month, but we’ll see.

(1) If you would have to choose one manufacturer of minis for the rest of your life: who would it be? (For the sake of argument it will be guaranteed that the manufacturer will stay on the market as long as you live/play/paint)

I don’t know any who would have the range of stuff I like.
They’d have to do every fictional and historical setting them I can think of (and a few I haven’t thought of)

GW do good quality plastic kits, but they sort of lack imagination and are stuck in their own little nich.

(2) Forums: dead, useless or are people just way to impatient to wait for answers and prefer the quick “instant” responses of Facepage, Instagerm and discord?

Here we go again with the same discussion that’s been popping up since social media launched …
All these things have their time and place.
I think that as a result of the Event  (stay indors!) a lot of people are on-line at the same time, so things like Discord are a bit more useful. When normal routines resume the forums will return to normal(ish) updates.
Also don’t forget that because of the project system we don’t have to start a new thread in the forum. I think that may have a bigger impact in the future than chat.

(3) Did you have cake this year and why not?
The cake is a lie … that’s all I can say 😀

pledge wise … I’ve only got 4 guns and a bunch of infantry left to assemble. Should be easy if I can stop getting distracted by videogames. I’ve also got the rest of my soviet army to build though.

And only a dozen projects in various states from ‘just an idea’ and ‘already started’ ?
My plans for WW2 + 40k alone would include that many army ideas … and I haven’t mentioned Starwars Legion, AoS or WarCry or any of the kickstarters in my mountain of opportunity.

I also haven’t even attempted to make a list of the projects/ideas that I have in my head … not sure if I should though, because then it becomes more like something I should do.  I have told myself that I really should finish at least one army this year.

Music …

Sometimes good things happen on social media :

We need more sillyness :
