Tonight I decided to bite the bullet and do some painting… even though Faust sent me a link to a Campaign Cartographer bundle over on Humble Bundle. I would seriously recommend this offer. I got 15 titles for £25.
Now to be honest the actual software only has a years code on it. I already have it so I am happy to spend the cash.
Here is the link for the bundle Here
Anyway here are my turtles so far.
Well so much for the idea of painting this evening…it didn’t happen. I de idea to slice a pile more Goblins ready for printing.
I also printed off the fanatics with the stones in the ropes… a rather fun set.
I also bought a couple more Contrast paints today when I took my daughter into Lerwick.. both a brownish colour!
Well, I was going to paint the turtles tonight, but instead, I started messing around with my mapping software. I decided to splash out a bit as I wanted to make a town for our school’s imaginary Island and I ended up down a major rabbit hole!
The above was my first attempt at the Capital of Skeldorini. Not the world’s best map ever, but by heck, this software has a lot of potential!
To be fair to myself I did get some painting done at the Geek club, I just forgot to take a photo.
And in case you were wondering…
On my school blog I was able to add a link to an uploaded PDF, but for some reason, it is not letting me add it to media on my own personal blog!
You can find the PDF Link here It opens a downloadable PDF that allows you to zoom into the map. Please bear in mind that this was just a test map… so there are random gaps in the walls and a building way out in the west.
Tonight I was going to work on my Samurai turtles etc, I even got them sprayed white. I let the dog out and realised the Aurora Borealis were out playing.
I ended up out there in the snow in my slippers and without a coat… chilly doesn’t even come close.
Hopefully I will get something painted soon!
I am sat here feeling sorry for myself, with my right shin swelling up, not to mention hurting. This evening we went out into the snow to do the horse. The track was full of drifts of about 45CM high. Went up to the car, drove, did the horse, went shopping carried the bags the 200m down the track. Went back up the track 5o get the bale of haylage and on the way back I mis judged where the end of the cattle grid was ….
Through I went belted my ankle, shin and knee on the way in. Twisted everything else on the way down.
Here is the hole that my good lady took a photo of (after checking I was okay first though).
We had a day yesterday when the snow was nearly gone and it came back with a vengeance last night. More expected this evening along with 60mph winds!
As someone posted earlier… this isn’t winter anymore this is harassment!
I was hunting for the box of Mordheim miniatures…which I couldn’t find. In my hunt I came across a dwarf I printed about a year and a half ago….
I think that The Mordheim box had taken it to work to paint things in Geek club.
I
It was my intention to get the last dwarf painted this evening. I downloaded my new Goblins and sliced half a dozen fanatics. I also worked on the imaginary island of Skeldorini. This something my class and I are working on.
While things were downloading I decided to go on Ark…big mistake… four hours later it was nearly midnight!
The above are my Frog Army! Look out for them when the thaw comes.
Well Today was pretty crap. Our old Shetland had to be helped into the great pasture in the sky. He had got to 32. My wife has had him since he was six months old. I have known him for 25 years at least. Poor little chap was getting more doddering and in the end we think he had a stroke.
He was the last of her original driving ponies.
Hopefully I will get some painting done tomorrow. On the upside…I opened my school again today. Okay it snowed solidly for the first hour and a half. I was really beginning to think I had made a cock up. The sun eventually came out and the roads cleared again.
It was a rather nice view coming home…
Huzzah, my day count came back. As of Yesterday I was on day seventy Five of daily posts.
You know that I am a bit of a daft lad when it comes to printing random crap. Today was no exception…
A goat with a set of Bagpipes, two ninja cats and two samurai turtles! It’s not as if I haven’t already got enough to paint.
Snow day today… still snowing off and on now… got some nice photos though…
