anyone who gets pissed enough from a six-pack of XXXX to slap their wife around is a fucking lightweight

How unQueenslanderish of you. You should have downed a six pack of XXXX and slapped your wife around a bit.

I have always loved my XXXX and it is the beer here for Queensland and Australia, wait, checks for data (probably old anyway).

This weekend we bought a giant biologically responsible eco-chicken and after marinating it for hours we spit roasted that motherfucker in our brand new oven. We then invited some friends to help us eat the massive thing, because jesus christ. Anyway, it was highly awesome and i'm already pondering what to spit roast next, maybe a little pig or something.

pics?

I hear David Cameron has some excellent tips on pig spit-roasting .

[Ryoki]

No pics i'm afraid, we were all too busy staring at the fucking thing turning around - will take some next time

After being curious about how those anime statue figures are made (all these parts and not a single seam anywhere?) I watched a few videos. The process looks like a lot of fun so I decided to start getting in to sculpting, casting, and painting figures.
I'm waiting on a shipment of silicone for creating my moulds but my airbrush, compressor, vacuum pump (degassing silicone), paints, and clays are in.
I'm looking at getting a pressure pot as well for casting resin and eliminate as many air bubbles as possible.

Nice creative hobby. You are/were a mapper I am sure(?) but I had the idea (from somewhere) you into this craft like phantasmagoria?

Nothing even close to the scale phantasmagoria works at; I'll just be creating tiny resin models and painting them.
Yeah I made some unreleased maps. I was more interested in optimizing geometry and vis rather than actually making a playable map though.

Heyo. I also started sculpting a little while back. I'm using SuperSculpey polymer clay. I wish I had more time in the day to do more of it.

Neat. I was originally looking at using sculpey as well but I decided to use an air-drying stone powder clay (La Doll and Premier) which can be hit with a dremel tool after drying. I'll be playing around with it this weekend.

You're gaining muscle? What's your height/weight?

That's cool

Xmas was over a month ago, are you planning on losing the extra fat that you've gained? You're 31, right? What's your height and weight right now?

In rock climbing news, today was the second time that I've been able to redpoint (in lead climbing, completing the entire route from beginning to end without falling or resting) a 5.12- (the grade of difficulty of the route, in this case pretty darn hard).

It's all relative though. Currently, the world's hardest climb is a 5.15c (which only 2 people in the world have been able to complete), the Dawn Wall climb in Yosemite that was in the news last winter had a bunch of 5.14 pitches. Most of my climbing friends top out at 5.10 or 5.11.

Pics of you climbing? This thread needs more pics.

For resin models I'd recommend using non-sulphur based chavant plasteline. You can get insane detail with it and it never dries out, it's quite costly but then it's reusable. It comes in different hardnesses, it's really nice to smooth detail with IPA and the warmer it is the softer it is. You can even pour it if you warm it up in a saucepan or a batik pot (though the fumes smell ass). When toymakers make their resin figures they start with plasteline and then mould it and recast it in tooling wax to get finer detail and then finally remould the wax one for the resin castings.

Post pics!
