My Eldest performed a trio of songs this evening at the student showcase.
The talent was easy to see from all of them. There was everything from traditional fiddle music through Rock and Jazz and into electronic music.
A great night was had by everyone watching.
So today is my bone density scan day. Arrived early for the appointment… I would like to say that the waiting area is crap. Good job I am not getting a body temperature scan… every time I move, this happens….
The seats are uncomfortable so I keep shuffling. There is no heating in this bit and the outdoor temperature is really chilly.
They have a mobile scanner up and this doorway is the closest to the truck. I shouldn’t really complain as it is free.
Sadly I managed to agitate my poly myalgia today. Basically the track needed re levelling. Basically it was time for its biannual digger visit. Even though I was sat in said digger I still managed to set everything aching. I therefore managed no painting this evening.
This evening I realised that I couldn’t get any more files onto my first external hard drive as it was full. This prompted me to have a bit of a sort out. Seemed I had multiple identical files on the drive. This actually took a lot longer than I thought it would.
I have noticed something of late to do with my Mini Factory. I follow a few designers, by a few I mean twenty odd. A while ago I got a free month of a designer’s Tribe (basically Patreon on MMF), this has happened a few more times. Actually for the last two I didn’t bother as they didn’t interest me. This week one of the ones I follow was offering 50% off. I got the same from another one last week too. It may be a coincidence, but I will now keep an eye on it
Finally… I still haven’t printed anything. Still painting the stuff I already have.
This is a lot of grey plastic…
Is it too late to change my mind?
I know I like 3D printing, but, apart from the toxic chemicals, I reckon building these won’t have really taken much less time if any. (This is not including printing time).
I will consider bases tomorrow..
I decided I couldn’t be bothered to paint anything this evening. My wife is packing for a work trip. My eldest is filling in forms for their new job and one of the others is trying to get some homework done.
I will get back on with the goblins tomorrow.
Today and into this evening I built more Tyranids.
So I now have:
10 Neorogants and a node beast
5 Barbgzunts
3 Leaper
1 Tyranid prime
1 neurotyrant
1 screamer killer
1 psychophage
This is to add to the 10 termagaunts I did yesterday (I still have 10 to build… I ran out of steam this evening).
Here are the three big guys…
I also did a smidge more on the goblins…
I will try and get the last ten Tyranids made tomorrow. I will also have a think about bases.
Well after a few games of Grimdark Future I have decided that sci Fi Gaming isn’t too bad. So, because I couldn’t be bothered to paint things this evening I made up some miniatures.
I blagged them off Joe, I thought these would be a nice easy sci fri arms to paint. These are snap fit ones… snap being an appropriate word. A number needed glueing as I somehow snapped pegs off in their holes.
Still a whole lot to build. Round two tomorrow.
Well Storm Betty, Mary or Fifi (or whatever it is called) has Caught up with my little bit of land. The Wind is coming from an unusual direction and both the porch and Conservatory are leaking. There has always been an annoying drip in the conservatory, when the win is from the South East. This time it is coming in in a number of places.
I am lucky however. I have a leak, some poor buggers on the mainland have lost their houses and livelihoods. So spare a thought for them not me whingeing on.
Well because I am a bit of a lazy BarStard I never got any painting done this evening. I did chuck more stuff around in the shed as well as download a whole pile of STL’s, but sadly no painting.
This came in the post today and it is lovely
Now way back when I started, I had a bit of a wall that was in front of a picture I had printed from the internet…
I liked this idea, but the picture wasn’t mine and I would spend a while adding who it belonged to. In time I stopped using it and went for just a plain background…
Normally it is the above bit of card. But now that I own the book I can quite happily choose one of the awesome works of art inside. Here is one of them…
There are 32 different ones in the book. They were all done By Jon Hodgson. He did the art for the first One Ring. I have been a bit of a fan ever since.
This miniature has sat under my computer monitor for at least a year. I was sorting out today and rediscovered it. Therefore tonight I built it.
It was reasonably easy to build. Apart from the rear of it. Luckily GF9 have instructions online. It comes with a peg to fit in the base. I cut this off before I find the base in the printer shed.
While I was in there I remembered I had the Prodos one still in it’s box. Yikes, EBay has it for £40 at the cheapest. I reckon that at a conservative estimate in the four boxes I have I have about £160.
I will get back to the undead cavalry soon. Highland Miniatures is going Egyptian Undead this month.
To be honest, these may just sit in the folder as, although I am impressed by them, i really don’t like the Egyptian vibe. I have a whole art of undead, I don’t need any more. But I am seriously not going to quibble. The above cost me £10.
I carried on trying to get the bloody battens up. The wall beat the drill bit and basically finished it off, but luckily for me I had some wall plugs and screws that meant the last one went up.
This evening I pretty much spent downloading my miniatures from my tribes and Patreon. Not going to print any, but I will have them ready to go when I want them.
