This evening I got a start on my mates metal pumpkins.
To match in with the printed ones I did a black undercoat with a white dry brush.
I used a different orange for these. I reckon I will have to do some glazing of a lighter colour.
I actually used my Artis Opus dry brush for about the second time on ten months.
Hopefully I will carry on with these tomorrow… a statement that normally means I won’t touch anything for a few days.
It was a really still morning this morning and I eventually managed to stop the car without getting in the way.
I took a little video too. It can be found Here
Managed to do nothing this evening… hopefully tomorrow will be better.
Flippin Heck I put myself to bed at 16.00 yesterday and woke up at 12.40 today. That’s a twenty hour snooze. I think I may have needed it.
I moved one of the sockets up about 2cm today to allow the skirting board a bit of a lift too. That just about finished me off.
I didn’t even try to get anything painted this evening.
Hopefully normal service will return tomorrow.
What’s the coolest thing you’ve ever found (and kept)?
I suppose there are two that fit this criteria. The first was a piece of Roman amphora from 20 metres down in the Mediterranean. It was from a second century wreck. I may have been the next person to touch it in the 1800 years since it was lost.
The second thing was another piece of pottery this time Samian from the Roman period. This one is cooler than the first as I know the person who touched it before me was from the first to second century AD. How do I know this. Well a little rabbit had made a burrow and kindly kicked it out just before I came along.
Luckily for me both were outside of any protected area so they were both classed as waste.
If I knew where they were I would add a photograph of them.
Yes that time has come when both the physical and cyber miniatures need sorting out. I decided to make a start when I kept finding boxes with part painted miniatures in.
The hard drive of shame also needed a tidy up too
Well, this night off was more forced than volunteered. I noticed there were lots of blooping noises coming out of the kitchen sink and the toilet. This normally means that the septic tank has backed up. Oh yes, it had! So after a whole lot of swearing, I set to work.
An hour and a half later I got it cleared and running through. There was even more swearing when my phone dropped out of my pocket and fell into said Poo-filled hole. luckily it was in a relatively clear bit and I also had a hose and spade in hand so I got to it before it sank.
I managed to stay up until 20.00 and got this written ASAP before I fell asleep.
So tonight I decided that I needed to get my arse into gear and do something constructive instead of swearing at the Console game…
I will try and get him finished tomorrow.
Well I made it back to work today… I was pretty much knackered for most of it, but hey I made it.
This evening I decided to have a bit of a go on Battlefield V on the old console. I had some epic games. I prefer to be an AA gunner as my reactions are, on the whole, too slow for ground combat. It’s really funny if you shoot someone down, they quite often spend the rest of the game trying to get you back. Which is cool… it becomes one on one. However in the last game some total baby evidently wanted to have a go on the gun and basically lost us the match as he was trying so desperately to get me off it that I failed to save my pilots from being attacked. We lost by two kills.
Two thousand steps. Another day in bed, but hopefully I will be back to work tomorrow.
So in the sort of Words of the Proclaimers
“I will walk 500 steps and I will walk 500 more just to be the man who falls down at your door.
I managed just under one thousand steps today. Most of it has been spent feeling crap in bed.
I reckon I will still be here tomorrow if my wife is anything to go by. In fact the whole family is under the weather.
I couldn’t even be bothered to watch YouTube. Well I started watching It and kind of woke up to various Christmas crafting videos.
