Well I was going to get painting this evening but was required to rescue an offspring from the south of the island… So no painting achieved.
Pretty cool sea and sky on the way down.
Dad’s Taxi
Next!
Was back to work today so got these out, photographed them, then went Nahhh will do them tomorrow…
On the left six knights/ yeomen and on the right we have the city Guards. I wonder if the back left us called Colon. Can’t be Vimes at the rear as he has plumes in his helmet. Unless of course it is a civic event and good old Sybil will make sure he looks smart.
Sorry
Apologies up front…
Over time I have developed a phobia of German Sausage… now I always fear the Wurst!
Sorry I just had to!
Another Lot Done
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.
Sod All Done
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…
Coming Home
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.
Painting & a Map
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.
Brigands and Civilians
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…
Fictional Pet:
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.
Undercoated…
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.
