Pledge: get through the next unit of figures

Food stuff, I reheat the premade stuff, get the delivered goods and make stuff from ingredients to a point. I wish to have enough money so I could sharpen my cooking skills and make things completely from scratch for every meal but I would need to be a full time cook for that.

So I swapped out my focus from the Eureka centaurs to the sythyrs (why they sell under that name I have no idea). Day one of the work and I’m glad I did. I’m about halfway done.

@limburger I caught your last post on Christmas and the issue with figuring out presents. Giving a hard deadline to yourself is a part of making the plan. That being said, you’d need to do a lot of work prior and make sure you have slack off time.

In the matter of giving gifts it takes some thinking outside our own skull. General themes can be picked up on but it takes the right amount of jumping to a conclusion from input and insight to make things work. Being a niche hobby, as you pointed out, doesn’t do us any favors either

Now addressing the waiting part I agree that is indeed a sticking point. The delay to get things is a bother. If toys were already predone we wouldn’t care for them as much, our childhood as example is great reference when compared to our current miniature hobby “toys” (we also play with “action hero figures”, thank you).

@danlee Does the advent calendar idea seem more of a manageable idea for gift exchange or something like Hannukah? Does little points of fun over a set amount of time seem better than a single HUGE celebration that ends in food coma?

@grantinvanman The wonder of MTV and the outlet for visual creativity with music it brought us.

@danlee with some Blue Boys going into the collection will yoy round it out with the Imperial Fisting for a primary color scheme to your collection?
