Oh Fiddle … I need to do the weekend question or something … where did I put that list ????

Glitter Wolfs weekend challenge involved Baking and Science Fiction. I’ll cook up something along those lines.

Most likely. My personal summer favorite would probably be tennis, 'cuz I'm boring. That might change with this year though, since sport climbing sounds pretty rad.

 

For the winter Olympics, it's snowboarding for sure.

Not watching it this year, it's been a debacle from the start and that's all I'll say about it. I do like watching all of the events, though.

Please bake something and post a picture of it, if you can?

 

Bonus Forum cred if you can make it look Sci-Fi themed! 
 

Alternate Quest: for the oven-challenged, can you speed-paint something, and post a pic of it?

 

Bonus Forum cred, if it is a Sci-Fi mini or Sci-Fi terrain!

Well that meant I was working on it, albeit slowly, but it is all good. That’ll give folks several choices of topics to respond to. For a nice no pressure weekend.

I have no idea where to find it on the “dial” or what hours it might be on. 


I like watching the Downhill Skiing and the Ski-Jumping but none O that in the Summer Games. I like that whole constant threat of a wipeout / Agony of Defeat vibe in those two sports. 
 

The last time I tried watching the summer games they never bothered showing interesting things like Javelin Throw. Do they even still do Hammer Throw?
 

This year they ought give out Lead, Tin, and Brass penalty medals to the countries that have highest counts of athletes who are scratched due to contracting COVID. (How do national OCs let unvaccinated personnel on their teams???)

No. My wife enjoys watching though, so I'll probably see some of it at some point.

 

Hockey.

 

I generally prefer Winter to Summer (the seasons), so I prefer the Winter Olympics, too. I haven't seen a summer Olympics in so long, I don't even know what sports/competitions they have now.

Nope, I don't do sportsball and whatnot, doubly so with how this one's been handled.

You don't want to see what I bake.  We'll, okay, the Mac and cheese looks tasty enough... :p

I may or may not paint something this weekend.  Only time will tell, and at the moment, it probably won't be SciFi (I really want to paint that Eevee Quick! build PokePla kit)

No baking, I will be painting but nothing Sci-fi nor will I get it finished over the weekend.

I was planning on making a cake for my mother in law, but it won’t be sci fi themed.

I don't bake unless I'm making my maple-espresso glazed bacon. As for speed painting, it's taken me nearly 3 months to paint this one figure. Speed painting is good for getting you faster at techniques, but I want to take my time to get my figures to look good for the tabletop.

We're watching it in small bits. For summer I'm really into gymnastics. However, I'm much more of a winter games person. For the winter it is figure skating hands down.

I'll probably end up seeing some of it.  My wife likes watching sometimes.

All my favorites to watch are winter sports: anything fast and downhill like downhill skiing, ski jump, all of the assorted luge type things, things like that (as close as they get to motorsports......)

For summer, yeah, just looked at the list.  I'd watch fensing, and maybe shooting and archer, but they are all ones that never get any tv coverage.

BMX Freestyle is entertaining....

The only baking I'll be doing is me out in the yard.  Working on building a step/platform for out by the clothes line.  Now that I put that up my wife realized she can't actually reach it.  Gave me a excuse to actually open and assemble the new sliding compound miter saw I got back in the spring though.

And I'm painting Sci-Fi stuff, but I'm likely only getting to the primed stage this weekend, due to the whole building a thing in the backyard.....
But I'll see if I get paint on any by the end of the weekend.

QUESTION July 23rd:

Have you ever made minis yourself?

 

(Hand Sculpted minis; Tin Soldiers; Highly involved conversions; Resculpts, Zbrush use, Resin printing…)

 

Where would you draw a line between Making and merely assembling ~or~  Making and merely printing them??

 

I've printed quite a few with resin printers & with my Ender 3. I've yet to print anything on my Ender 6 as the belt broke before I could really start using it. As far as traditional mini making, I made a Reefclaw (aquatic/crustacean from Pathfinder) out of a Reaper sea familiar & claw bit from anther Reaper mini. I also used wire for the antennae & of course grey stuff.

QUESTION July 22nd:

If the Pandemic is ever over, will you resume traveling?

What places will you want or  plan to visit if you do?

 

 

Definitely!

 

I'm planning on going to ReaperCon this year for sure. Thinkin of maybe going 1 more time to Vegas for LVO in Jan & of course return trips to the Oregon Coast. No virus is gonna stop me from doing that!

I'm not gonna say No, but I probably will catch something if it's on. Thou, knowing NBC & the way they think it'll probably just be swimming, pro errr basketball or gymnastics (oh & women's soccer as that is successful). None of those I'm really interested in.

 

ice hockey or the "Let's ride a object down a slide in the winter" sport  ::D:
