My weekend improves as somehow I have done my back in. It is causing great hilarity as I yelp when I move. I managed to get onto the floor earlier, but sadly couldn’t get up again. Needless to say I didn’t manage any painting this evening.

I am going to try for an emergency dental appointment tomorrow too. I reckon I rattle now due to the amount of painkillers I have swallowed.

I don’t reckon they will try to keep the tooth this time as it has become loose. It was about 5 years ago when they started on root canal work. Four temporary fillings later I think the tooth, and me, has run out if luck.

Churchill have come back to say that Avensis was in the wrong and that they are going to pay the £307 car hire bill plus £100 to say sorry.

My old tooth has decided to flare up again today, I got everything ready to paint things this evening, but I really couldn’t settle so put it all back again.

On the upside, we have eventually got our car back. Now to do a polite battle with Churchill to get them to pay for the hire car.

I worked on the Sabretooth this evening, he is a bit darker than I wanted, but I will push on and see how I feel about it in a bit…

The bone armour is going to be lighter,but at the minute he is just a pile of browns and tans. I will set to work with dry brushing tomorrow.

I also did a smidge on the officers…

This evening I really just faffed about and didn’t get much done apart from the black bits on the officers and the base layer on the sabretooth.

A long way to go, but a start is a start. I am looking forward to doing my tamed smilodon.

That about sums up this evening’s attempt at painting. I have just finished dinner… aka porridge as I was too knackered to cook anything else. We didn’t get I until 20.45 and after sorting things out, I just couldn’t be arsed to get the paints out… to be fair to myself I did actually choose the five miniatures that I was going to paint this evening.

Hopefully they will get done tomorrow, this evening I am going to try not to rant at idiots, cheaters and weird mechanics on Battlefield V… wish me luck!

Well no painting took place today as pile of stuff needed to go into the loft and whilst I was up there I came across some of my terrain that used to spend hours building…

I am not sure what happened to the first floor of the building.it probably got chucked years ago with the rest. The room to the right was the ballroom where various shenanigans took place.

In the I used to spend hours at a time cutting out the buildings and then using Copydex to put them together. I actually used them for Roleplaying games as I wasn’t Wargaming back then. Even if they didn’t have an interior then I would add one. As you can imagine 28mm mansions tender to be a bit on the large side. I actually don’t know how much money I spent on card and ink cartridges. In the end to save both my sanity and my wallet I started just doing the floor plan  with bits and pieces of scatter.

This was a UK Television program where people did funky things with another person’s room.

However in my case it was my three kids all changing rooms with each other… cue long day of sorting and chucking out … 8 bin bags down… I cannot get to my little painting corner for things that still need to move.
