*grmbl* looks like an angry hamster ate my post … so once more (with feeling? 😉 )
1) With an upcoming draught of “Gerry” (have a nice vacation mate, you’ve earned it) who will be the main talker in the next two weekender and XLBS shows?
If Warren re-appears then we’ll have to protect our ears again 😉
2) Will you have some “annual leave” soon and if yes for how long?
I kind of had a month of ‘annual leave’ … and barring the 1:1 scale terrain remodelling I did zero hobby.
OTOH … that did result in me finally having a bit of actual space dedicated to hobby.
Not sure if it will work, but at least I will have one less excuse not to do a thing 😀
3) If you go on holiday, do you take your hobby with you or does it stay beheind?
Only holidays I’ve ever been on were the two BoW bootcamps I’ve been to … so technically I’ve never left my hobby behind.
I also managed to do more hobby during those jampacked weekends then I’ve ever done while at home.
I’d say having a bit of focus really helps …

Today I’ve been to the World Model Expo ( https://www.wme2020.com/ )
The dioramas that people had made as well as the figures they had painted for the contest were unbelievable. I don’t envy the judges at all.
I didn’t look at every single entry as there was too many and it was a bit too crowded to get a good view.
I’ve also seen Angel Giraldez in real life (he was doing demos for his new paint sets for Vallejo).
And I’ve spotted “Hellloooo guyzzz !!!” Marco in the wild. I’m not someone who wants to talk to ‘famous’ people, so I didn’t talk to either of them.
Besides I’m sure they were busy doing their own thing.
There was very little wargaming/tabletop related bits to see, although I did see one trader with a couple of copies of the Horus Heresy boxed sets. Not sure how that’s going to sell at a show like that though.
My own purchases were a set of army painter speedpaints, a couple of brushes, a wet palet and a primer spraycan.
This should give me one less excuse to do some hobby 😀
I’ve posted a few pictures of the event in the cog-sanctuary channel over at discord.
If the hamsters don’t eat them I will post them …
