Well these were a bit quick… All done in a short time
A Goose girl, Flautist, Bloke with a snake and a posh lady with evil intent, either that or she is about to chop vegetables.
I have more Undercoated ready for tomorrow.
They will probably take longer as they are a mix of knights and Guards so will need their livery done.
Apologies up front…
Over time I have developed a phobia of German Sausage… now I always fear the Wurst!
Sorry I just had to!
This evening I managed to get these pretty much finished apart from the bases.
Managed to get to 22.30 without a nap today so I think I have turned a corner.
Well I have a couple of excuses… First being I am still need three or four hours of sleep during the day. I get to about 14.00 at the latest then go rapidly downhill. Second is my daughter lost a tiny phial of brine shrimp eggs and we spent an absolute age trying to find them
I did eventually get my Mounted Borgia miniature from Alternative Armies, to be fair to them I got it last week. To say sorry they shoved in a wood pile and a simple well. This was nice of them as I had two dismounted miniatures so…
What’s a place you visited that felt like home?
The odd thing is, when I first rolled off the ferry in Lerwick in February 2006 to attend my interview I honestly felt like I had come home.
Luckily I got the job and am still here. I have lived here longer than anywhere else in the UK and it now is home. I have lived in this house for 18 years now so… Yeah home.
Well I ended up off work today. Totally knackered, ended up asleep for about three hours this afternoon.
I did however manage to get the civilians started…
I also finished my map I started when I was coming back on the boat…
Just about finished me off, so I reckon I will be off again tomorrow unless I suddenly bounce back.
I am definitely a few twinkles short of a rainbow at the minute so I really didn’t fancy doing anything at all. As you can imagine I really had to force myself to get these progressed.
Can you tell that I hadn’t realised that I basically had the same bloke with a bag. Thankfully their lower halves are different. One is barefoot and the other has trousers and boots. The rear one also carries a pickaxe.
So I made a start on the undercoated lot from yesterday…
Made a start on five, nine left to go.
I was in our scrap store today, a charity organisation that employs adults with learning difficulties. I saw this interesting box…
Hopefully I will carry on painting tomorrow…
If you could pick any fictional animal to be your lifelong companion (like a Pokémon or fantasy pet), what would it be?
Well I must admit I have wracked my brains and pretty much drew a blank from literature. It could have been a cop out and given a stereotypical fantasy answer… Not going to say what as I don’t want to offend anyone.
So anyway literature seems to be up the Swannie (is this a family expression or more widespread?)
So I started looking at Gaming and then thought about the shoulder pets in Ark Survival Evolved and an answer just popped into my head.
This is a Shinehorn. It is a ‘Glow Pet’. This little creature has a built in light system to allow exploration in the dark. It has its own inventory so can be used as a backpack. It is rubbish in a fight and quite frankly I don’t use them any more in game. But think of the savings in Torch batteries.
And ready to go.
I was so knackered that I had a bit of an afternoon nap. Then really couldn’t be arsed so this is as far as it got.
