Ground floor and first floor now have… errr…. floors.
Parts of my class equipment orders have started trickling in….
Today this arrived… Technically it’s a toothpaste tube squeezer or some rubbish like that. We all know its main role in life is to make corrugated sheeting for miniatures…
I worked on these a bit today…
I shall carry on in a bit and get more done. Hopefully tomorrow will be undercoat time and then onto painting.
After that…who knows.
Does anyone have any ideas…I have too many. I am going to make plaster rocks, as well as using expanding foam for hills… But I reckon how to make Wargames Terrain by GW will be coming out soon lol.
What’s a country that’s at the top of your bucket list?
Fart bags, I need a bath not a bucket…..
Buuuuut I will shorten it to top three (possibly).
Number One…
Canada:
I actually want to travel along the trans Canadian Highway…4860 miles. Vancouver Island to the Labrador coast. By travel I mean motor vehicle. Not walk!
Number 2…
Japan:
Always had a lovely of all things Japanese so would really, really love to visit.
Number 3…
Norway:
Must be my Viking Blood, which is a bit weird because I have more Breton than Nordic countries in my DNA.
And in No particular order…
To Sudan up the Nile… historical interest
China…a bit like Japan, just an interest in the history of China.
Australia…lot of family moved out there…
New Zealand…a bit like Australia, family moved there in the Great Depression. Also nearly moved out there to teach, but my dad became ill.
Colombia, Mexico, Chile, Brazil.
America: Especially-Texas, Colorado, Montana, North Dakota, New York (as I want to go to Fort William Henry). Oh yeah and all the Places the City of New Orleans train route goes through. Basically Chicago to New Orleans…aka on a train. (Just love that song)
That will do for now.
What are your strategies for SEO?
I thought long and hard about this then had to Google what SEO means….oh the Irony!
Well to put it simply…I don’t. Or if I do, then it is accidental.
So I added the card ‘wood’ beams to the first house and made a start on the second.
With the second one I am going for the card walls but adding in a bit of foam… It isn’t glued down yet. I’ll do it tomorrow.
Now the beams are a bit thick on house one so shall be rectified on house two.
Can you tell I am making it up as I go along?
So as my class is definitely less than a month away I thought I had better get my finger out and start making examples of things.
This is the scrap card and bog roll version of a building… It is, for want of a better word, it’s infancy.
This is the base layer of corrugated card, smeared in thin PVA and had toilet roll stippled on it
When dry I will do beams, floors etc
Lots of colours on show this evening.
This morning I added more colours to this lot.
The yellow made its appearance again.
Hopefully I will get on with them this evening.
I am actually really enjoying painting these. I don’t know if it is because I am feeling better or I am just enjoying painting more simple miniatures. By that I don’t mean any insult to Wargames Atlantic. I just think they are lovely mini’s to paint. Big blocks of colour with the odd strap or accessory. Yes if you look closely at the accessories or some of the additions then you can see they are not sitting right or seem held oddly.
This is why the photos are taken at a distance.
Tell us about your morning routine.
Best Person to describe my Morning Routine is the late, absolutely Great Dolly Parton!
Tumble out of bed and I stumble to the kitchen
Pour myself a cup of ambition
And yawn and stretch and try to come to life…
Yes I got a bit more done this evening…
The female guard was not re-undercoated, I actually thought Sod it. She can’t help it if everyone else has their tabard upside down or back to front!
I am now off for a week, got a ton of DIY to do, but hopefully will have enough free time to get making stuff for my course which starts on Sat 7th November….eek!
As all the cool kids are using a Proxxon hot wire cutter I have ordered one, along with a pile of other bits and pieces. Mainly from Temu as I decided to miss out the middle man and get the cheap shit direct.
