Felt crack this evening so achieved an undercoat!
I suppose a teeny bit of progress is still progress!
All White on the Night
NEXT!
I really didn’t fancy painting the Sisters this evening.
The Steroids seem to be becoming less effective which is an absolute Bugger. I have already had to go back up a microgramme and it is looking like I will need to go back up again.
So instead of painting I built a few more Gallians, which will be undercoated and painted tomorrow.
The metal ones are for my mate. This pair arrived with the ones I painted yesterday. these are from Westwind miniatures.
I will of course be back with the ‘one coat’ paints tomorrow. 🙂
Painting Without Contrast
Eeeek! This evening I actually painted stuff without using any Contrast paint. It wasn’t really through choice. I started painting these miniatures for my mate about 12 years ago at the very least. Long before contrast was invented.
To be honest it was more a touch up and some painting to get them finished.
Back to Contrast tomorrow 🙂
Another Set Finished
Huzzah, I got the last of the printed goblins finished.
Not sure what I am going to paint next. I do have the Sisters as well as a few more knights that are printed. The sisters are undercoated so it may be better to do them.
I still need to decide what to do with the Tyranids.
Let’s be honest… I have so much crap to paint I could still be painting daily until Christmas and still have some for the New Year.
A Musical Evening
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.
Goblins Done
This evening I managed to get my finger out and finish off the goblins. I am going to have to add a brighter edge on the weapons.
There are also a few touch ups that I need to do on some of them. The bases also need a bit of colour.
I will hopefully manage this tomorrow. My eldest is doing their first concert for their music course tomorrow evening so the painting may have to wait.
Goblins, Hallowe’en and Riding Witches
A bit of a mixture of topics. I decided I had better add some painting back in in case you all thought it had become a medical blog.
So yes I got the goblins and paints out and made some progress, not as much as I would have liked, but progress is still progress…
It is mainly just the metalwork to do and the back of the shields. I would have got further but my daughter was off getting sweeties from random strangers for Hallowe’en, so dad’s taxi was requested to bring them home.
So finally, a FB friend shared this. Now I am not 100% sure, but I believe a comma would help make the sentence mean what she meant.
Now I suppose if I need to or have to then okay, but I believe she meant let’s ride, witches. Punctuation is important… if you remove the capital letter then the following sentence has a totally different meaning…
‘I am going to help my Uncle Jack off his horse!’
Tomorrow back to the goblins… I hope
Oh yeah, evidently I have shrunk. I was measured yesterday and have lost about an inch and a half in height!
Waiting, waiting, waiting
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.
I Broke Myself
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.
Having A Cyber Tidy Up
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.
