When I was younger, I used to love the 4 x10 hour days schedule. These days a 10 hour shift will waste me for days....

haldir Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 Not a bad night at work, last night, just tired of getting these big, un-needed loads. With the inventory crew there, the bosses all came in early & jumped in & helped us get it thrown. Actually came home & sprayed my minis for tonight. I decided the squirrel needed anther coat of chrome & I needed to prime that gnome (no way I'm playing a rpg with a bare metal mini!!). I'll probably just give him a quick wash & call it good. Now I'm off to bed. I wanna wake up earlier then I normally do on Weds so I can actually throw that wash on that mini. I do need to paint the squirrels eye red or something. Also, gotta black my bases. Anther one of things I'd rather see on the table vs primered or bare. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a reasonably ratio of completed to waiting to be started kits. Probably helps that I find most of the Earth forces stuff to be not all that interesting - I love the curves, the spikes, the ~menace~ that the Zeon designs have, whereas the Earth ones tend to be... Well, bland by comparison. Probably has to do with my love of that monoeye, and their use of axes... It probably also rather helps that I quickly fell in love with the larger scale of the Master Grade kits because of their scale making their size a little easier to work with, the various intricate gimmicks, and how a kit generally takes a while to be built up. I swear resin conversion kits had no impact on how I decided on things, although... Yeah, they do have a decent influence. I could probably get another ten kits with resin, but I do suspect I'm going to start getting more supplies to just bash up my own work, especially since sheets of styrene from Plastruct aren't that expensive at all. But yeah, if I had the cash, certain kits I wanted were actually in stock, and the shelves, I do suspect I'd have a full collection of the kits from Gundam:The Origin as well as a good amount of the Real Grade kits, and yeah, probably even 3-5 perfect grade kits in the works (three of them being Zaku II's, because I love the SH Studios conversion kits, and want a Gouf Flight Type, a regular Gouf, and the Shin Matsinaga kit). ...If I had that kind of cash I'd have to bite the bullet of some words I've said recently though, which were to some friends playfully saying "get me another boom arm and the much sturdier 6' workbench I want and we'll seriously talk". Don't get me wrong, I like the idea of streaming, but it also scares the crap out of me. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jasper_the_2nd Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 Wow, took a bit to get caught up. I need to stop not-reading the forums on the weekends...... So my back has been awesome for a long time. And I've been having yet more issues with nerve pain in my left leg for....3+ months now? Got in to have an MRI on Friday (boy that tube is not overly big, is it?) and the doctor's office called yesterday to book an in-person appointment today. (Bad sign right off, since almost nothing is done in-person these days.) As expected my back has deteriorated of the last decade or so. Stenosis is to the point where I have a shiny referral to a back surgeon. Not the best news but not unexpected (my dad had severe stenosis causing permanent nerve damage and now walks with a walker) so I'm happy that, if it has to get taken care of, we get it done as early as possible to avoid what dad went through. I wonder if I can get a two for one special and get him to look at my neck too? 1 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GEM Yeah, I found it very confining (I'm not a small lad) but I'm not Claustrophobic so it was bearable (I'm not sure how back it would be if they were doing my neck though....my head would be way further in then......). The noise was pretty loud, but I've been to a number of metal concerts. Needed more bass though :) But anyone with noise sensitivity would not enjoy that at all. So have both is most unfortunate. My biggest problem was the staying on one spot part. With my back the nerve pain started after about 10 minutes of not being able to move my back/hips/legs. By the end it was getting really unpleasant. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GEM Though I'm not claustrophobic, they are not a cozy environment. The stretcher part is not particularly comfortable, and they're surprisingly loud, even with hearing protection. Because of the smooth, curved uniform surface, my eyes just wouldn't focus properly and it was driving me nuts. A small marking anywhere on the surface would've been appreciated. At least they got good images of my heart. Edited May 5, 2021 by Cranky Dog 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
