I will drive 45 minutes to an hour to gamming and 20 minutes to an hour to Disc Golf every week. 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is minimal public transport in some of the surrounding towns, but nothing I could make use of. 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsair Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 12 hours ago, Werkrobotwerk said: May 10, Do you like driving? Is it necessary where you live? Yup, I do enjoy it. Before my retirement, I drove 3-4000 miles a month tracking my parolees. Now, most of my driving is when we travel, which is fun stuff. And yes, having a vehicle is mandatory here, no public transportation at all. 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve got them mentally classed with promo paints, though, so I’m not sure which ones are samples and which ones are promo colors. between the two catagories, I’ve got enough that I sometimes paint with just the free paint, as a little artistic limitation challenge. My deep red and deep green samples are almost out, though … OK, so I had a look. At my office, with the spare paint set, I have 8 actual sample bottles: It’s a little hard to tell, but left to right it’s a grey, a light tan, dark tan, medium brown, deep green, dull maroon, blue, and a slightly reddish tinged metallic. I’ve also got various promotional colors: a breast cancer pink and a Valentine’s Day pink, a red and blue from when they were promoting a new paint formulation, 7 of the Christmas colors from various years (plus bought sets of those at home…), and two different off whites and reds from Halloween 2017 and 2018. Put them all together and painting a mini with just free paint isn’t too difficult, although using the off whites for mixing can be a little chancy. The maggot flesh has green tones, and I’m not sure how the light tan of the vampire flesh would play out. Somewhere around here I’ve got a couple more that were removed from a BoGW, but didn’t come to me directly… 23 hours ago, Werkrobotwerk said: May 10, Do you like driving? Is it necessary where you live? I do not. I drive because I have to, so my car is a scruffy 13 year old Toyota Yaris with a stick shift and no electric/electronic features. You open it by turning the key in the door and crank the windows up and down. I have just over 200,000 miles on it so far. I’d be happy to leave it parked most of the time and use a bicycle, or travel by train for long distances. Those are the only two forms of vehicular travel I actually enjoy. At least the FLGS, the public library, and my local indie coffee roaster are all within easy bike range.

Typically, audio books, knarthax/TGP, or one of several other mini painting/sculpting groups I am a part of. On 5/5/2022 at 7:57 PM, knarthex said: Regarding Tacos.... YES PLEASE! ^This On 5/6/2022 at 7:28 AM, Werkrobotwerk said: May 6: What are you working on building or painting this month? have any pictures? Sculpting: can't really say in detail; I have a REALLY cool project I am doing for Dark Sword. I can say that it is a dragon with a rider, but that is about it. This will be the first human I have sculpted in Z-Brush; should be fun. As for painting, I am currently, albeit slowly, painting a dwarven barbarian for my current D&D campaign: On 5/7/2022 at 8:07 AM, Werkrobotwerk said: May 7, What's the most interesting competition you've ever been to?

On 5/8/2022 at 7:51 AM, Werkrobotwerk said: May 8, Is there a terrible movie you still like to watch? Mostly nostalgia pieces from the 80's like "The Last Dragon" or "Blood Sport". On 5/9/2022 at 6:51 AM, Werkrobotwerk said: May 9, Have you ever gotten a "sample" bottle in a reaper order? what color was it and what did you use it for? Many. The best is a shade of off white similar to Creamy Ivory that covers better and is essentially perfect. I will be VERY sad when that bottle goes dry.

Evilhalfling Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 (edited) May 6: What are you working on building or painting this month? have any pictures? I was working on these - for a D&D session, but now that I finished them, all I have is stuff primed. This pic reminds me I need to rework the left chuuls eyes - so technically still working on them. May 10, Do you like driving? Is it necessary where you live? No, I want to get from here to there with a little attention as possible - music, news, a podcast, a quiet think to write a game or novel plot. when i actually have to pay attention to the driving experience, it is because something has gone wrong and I have to try not to run into things. I have had 2 accidents 1999, and 2011 so my inattention/focus driving method works pretty well. Yes I live in a fricken low density suburb - no handy busses or trains. I walk and bike some, but should do more. 2/3 of my most common trips could be by bike, but it requires more enthusiasm/planning to bike to the gym, or to pickup the spawn from school. Sample paints- At least 2 have made it into regular use - a medium blue, and a light brown/tanned flesh the second one have used both an skin and leather goods. at least 2-3 others are in the backup paint case, they never found a purpose.

I'd put together something like No Cover (it's on youtube), which helps find new original rock bands and signs them to a label. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
