Artillery Done

Well after a day of running adult and child protection training I was a bit pooped. I did want to get something done so I made some pretty guns and got everything done apart from the feathers (and the bases)!

I might have to take a little break from these as it has suddenly dawned on me that the show I am entering another skull into is on Wednesday… I basically have to get the whole thing done by Tuesday night…. Emmmmmm I haven’t even started! Trying for a smilodon skull this time.

The following was my foam deer skull from last year.

What I don’t Worry about Anymore…

What’s something you used to worry about but don’t anymore?

This is honestly not safe for work… apologies to anyone who gets offended… There is a radio version where all the naughty words are bleeped out.

I can’t really think of anything, but I remember, as a kid of about eight or nine, trying to work out how old I would be in the year 2000… What…How ancient?

Yeah 34! Ancient and over the hill.

I used to have a really huge dislike of seaweed… I think Jaws has something to do with that, similar fear of dark water.

I have gone sea kayaking in the dark which funnily enough meant I had to deal with the both of them… Sadly I cannot find the photos….

More Painting?

Yes indeed, look at me go…

Basically all that is left are the three guns at the back as well as the weapons and feathers.

Sorry John I forgot the silver paint again. I did bring gold though (I don’t know why either) I can only think I looked at the silver and picked up the ‘Glittering Loot’…

I have now added it to the box with the miniatures…no excuse tomorrow

Hopefully I will get these finished then move onto the Militia soon.

Mounted Troops

This evening I worked on the cavalry and the special characters…

Pretty much done apart from the  weapons and ostrich feathers. Still toying with red and white on the feathers. There are three feathers so I was thinking two red and one white.

I really should have done more, but am grumping that I am back to work tomorrow…in reality I forgot to bring the silver from the other room and can’t be arsed to go back through 😂.

Hurrah… Painting

Yes, I actually managed to do a bit of painting this evening…

I got most of the horses done, well the main body colour. I also got the firearms done. I did have a bloody long sleep into this afternoon. Woke up at 15:45 lol.

I hope to carry on tomorrow… I am determined to get these and the militia finished before I start on the Bolt Action stuff.

Do I have a favourite Quote?

What is your favorite quote?

I haven’t really…

I am struggling to think of anything…I will have to go with this one.

“Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes. That way, you’ll be a mile away from them, and you’ll have their shoes.”

This is the Joke one I used with my classes in school…

“If at First you don’t Succeed…Cheat!”

Not really a quote, but I like it!

Back Home…

Safe and Sound. Yes we made it back to home. Sat on my sofa drinking Cappuccino. I will get on with the Florentine forces later on today (if I don’t have a little sleep).

My son is already building his Tiger…he went straight off to his desk and started as soon as he walked through the door.

Life Changing Tip

If you had to give one life-changing tip, what would it be?

What tip could I give that wouldn’t sound like some form of life coach guru…

So digging deeply as I can I have come up with a little gem.

‘Be Yourself and don’t be a shithead.’

If you ever worry that you are not doing things right…Just remember ‘Not Everyone could have been Kung Fu Fighting!’ it’s a lie that has become famous. I mean even if they were, extremely unlikely, were they all using expert timing? Hmmmm. What no beginners at all?
