Since we are all in isolation because of coronavirus virus are you getting any figure time?

Some of us have to still go to work

But I'm guessing that non of us married guys are gonna get any time to ourselves at all when at home

Yeah, that married thing. I'm trying to carve more foam walls - important stuff, right? - and every five minutes it's something!

If I sit and stare at the TV news, which is making me want to throw myself off a cliff, sure, I can do that without interruption. But as soon as I pull out the hobby craft stuff...


I've created a folder on my computer to pull together all my photo-story bits and pieces that are scattered all over creation. I want to get going on some stories.

Gonna pull my "good" camera gear out of storage and decide whether I want to start using it or if I should try selling it on eBay (at a tremendous loss) for some quick cash.

Sounds familiar Dave -- that married thing. I seem to hear stories about people having all this free time at home...isn't working for me. But truthfully, I have been able to get a little time in, 'specially when everyone is in bed.

But the cleaning projects and the sterilizing everything that comes in the house and the take-out grocery orders almost every day are driving me a little crazy.

Nope. Not looked at a thing.
`Cos it`s all packed away in the underbuild (like a cellar/basement, but only accessible from outside), it`s been raining more or less constantly since the lockdown started, and there are always a zillion and one other things that need attending to...

No, I'm not! I've been working from home for the last five years so nothing much has changed for me. Still have to sit in our office in the garden in case the guys in head office send me a job to do and all my figures are in the house. Not enough space in the office to do much with figures, although I do have a couple of Astronauts next to my desk.

Hope everyone is keeping safe and healthy.

Since I have been in isolation because of coronavirus virus I have been having figure time by doing stories and taking mostly indoor random pictures.

Yeah, taking pics and working on stories. I managed to finish "Journey to the centre of dinosaur valley in a couple of weeks! and now I have started a new story.

Making a frame for a large map to go on the wall of the study. Just about finished when I get paint on the map....now ruined

Ah well...start again

Seems like "other stuff" keeps getting in the way.

Like decluttering the storage shed:

Update on my figure time in lockdown. I’m still having figure time during lockdown by starting a new story called Gangrene’s time in jail. I even taken outside pictures of my new street gang while me and dad were taking our dog Lottie out for her nighttime walk. So do you have any updates on figure time during lockdown if so let’s here them and if not let’s here why.

Yeah me too, still working away on future chapters of my comic!

Hard to believe that three months have passed since I posted that picture of my shed. Most of the country here in the States is still in some level of shut-down or lock-down, ranging from "social distancing recommendations" to full-on shelter-in-place.

Any my shed looks the same, or even worse! Not a very productive use of three months!

Yes, eventhough I have been homeworking since March, I have found some time for the collection.
Hence some pictures published recently.
I have had some time sorting out spares outfits and trying to complete them from the various piles of spare boxes.

But one thing very disapointing is that I have plenty of time for restringing figures but can't find any round 3mm and 2mm elastics...
They are sold out everywhere due to people making face masks.
Godverdomm, for once I have time to restring

I just moved to a temp location until I find another house.
My poor Joes are all packed like sardines...lol

Please do not mention the married thing...

Squeezing a bit of Vam time in but
I’ve worked all through the lockdown “on the buses”

I really want to ask this question again to members. isolation because of coronavirus virus are you getting any figure time?

Whilst still staying in doors because of the Covid 19 virus I’m still managing to have figure times by putting together villain stories, I’m been buying Dr. X robots and mam comics on EBay. Still going on the chat most afternoons till evenings. Doing the odd random mam picture.

Still working every week
You can never have enough Dr X robots

Just assembled a GPMG mount from Armorpax for the M240 (FN MAG) MG I plan to mount on the Tonka. Scratch built a mounting post for it from brass tube and sheet. Have a Dragon Jeep with .50 Cal to assemble....plus other stuff. So yeah...keeping busy.

Come on ammo members let’s here what figure time you are having while we are still in lockdown.

Virus? What virus? Oh... that virus? We can fix you right up, no worries!


Now get back to real life, already!

(I got inoculated a couple of days ago. No fatal blood clots yet, so maybe I'm gonna survive.)

Lockdown sucks. Restrictions suck. I get depressed and spend money on crap. I'm under a delusion that buying more crap will make me feel better but it never does.
