### Start of shameless copy and paste ###
First time visitor to OTT? Then please introduce yourself in the New Member Thread and look around in the Project System. Then come back and read on…

Read all of this before you start as it will save you any trouble later.
First thing you must do is make your “pledge”. It can be anything gaming related, big or small, and you don’t even have to finish it. No, in here, happiness is the road. Have fun doing whatever it is, but it is not a race. Accompany your work with pictures or we might think you are do something sinister and just using us for cover.
You are also presented with a few questions. It is to get the conversation started. Try and keep your answers ‘conversational’, no text speak, and certainly no “basically”. This is how we all get to know each other better. While you are here feel free to tell us a story, show a picture, joke, tales of love or woe, or just add your own little bit. This is the whole point…in here it is just us.
If you have never taken part before we may bark and bite, but we also like a cuddle! It is all done in the best possible taste and it is character building. feel free to give as good as you get.
A few other things to note: NO RELIGION & NO POLITICS! Glasgow pub rules are in effect. If you need to make a better point then it is fine, but don’t take the piss. And always keep it civil. This includes no philosophy, no home computer culture wars.
Play plenty of music to go with your work. Loud and through proper speakers. Write us a playlist of things we might not have heard before.
Now, after all of that there is only one ‘real’ rule in here and it cannot be broken: NO DICKS! (Exceptions may be made for little fighting men with little plastic/resin/metal wieners)
And don’t forget the highlights of the weekend: The Weekender on Friday and XLBS on Sunday. And the little show that is The Hobby Hangout over at twitch.tv

### End of shameless copy and paste ###
Question of the week:
- Completely unrelated to miniatures this week – How long does it for you to recover after a proper “night out”?
And now back to the show.

Answer: I will tell you once I recovered from Friday XD

October 4, 2026 at 7:12 pm #1986771‘proper night out’ ?
dude … I get tired/exhausted from having to interact with people … I never could handle a ‘night out’.
It tends to drain my batteries, which is why I avoid parties.I’m slowly gathering my supplies for the 1:1 scale Hell-o-ween project.
Not quite sure if I can get even half of my ideas finished, but I’m going to do my best.
Part of the problem is that I got yet another idea for the entire thing to add to my pile of concepts.btw: PVC tubes are the best thing since sliced bread for this kind of thing.
The one thing I would love to do is add some sort of animated movement, but a lot of that stuff appears to rely on bits that are only available in the land of the orange clown.
oh … if you hate clankers then this is a must watch:
October 5, 2026 at 7:23 am #1986772October 5, 2026 at 9:07 am #1986773Not had a proper night out in years.
I now know when I have reached the point that the ‘next drink will give me a hangover tomorrow’… so I stop drinking because I hate hangovers.
The more annoying thing is that I get to the ‘hangover point’ before I achieve drunk. Suffering the consequences without the fun part of drunk is no fun.
October 5, 2026 at 2:28 pm #1986818Last week I mentioned plans to scratch build some terrain. Haven’t started a project yet, but this is the basic idea.
It’s a nightclub and as you can see the floor already glued to MDF. External walls are 2×1 and internals will be MDF. I’m waiting for some ‘brick paper’ for the external walls. Interior wallpaper will be printed on card and glued to walls.
If the project goes horribly wrong this may be the only image you see.
October 5, 2026 at 5:17 pm #1986824October 5, 2026 at 8:12 pm #1986840Pledge: repair damaged parts of resin prints and modify for the SAGA unit I’m working on
A “proper night out” might require a week to recover from. The immediate aches of strain and soreness could be the day after but the time after is mentally catching up and processing. The Hangover was not a comedy but a documentary. As far as a night of drinking… eh… I can’t say I’ve had one of those for some time
@limburger Yes, people do take a toll but some people less than others. Its always a pleasant time to enjoy the less stressful ones.
@pagan8th The slow drinking with high end booze doesn’t mitigate the hangover. It just means a greater price tag. That might be a better influence on how much we imbibe.
The project looks interesting. I will say that as long as the bathroom doesn’t end up being like the legendary one of CBGBs you’re set. Then again this might be a precursor to Night at the Roxbury.
October 5, 2026 at 9:08 pm #1986854This week’s pledge is to assemble the models I printed off recently, plus figure out what I’ll do for the Halloween hobby challenge.
- I don’t do proper nights out anymore, but last time I did it took most of the next day to recover.
And I’ve finished more Lil’ Rascals.
