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 evening I was a bit pooped and really couldn’t be bothered to paint anything.
I did force myself to do a bit so spent a little time painting the tunics on the rank and file.
To speed things up I painted them all a grey colour. Basically they are all in un-dyed cloth.
Hopefully I will crack on tomorrow and get a fair bit done.
This evening I managed to get some work done on the goblins.
I shall carry on with these tomorrow. There is still a lot to do… especially on the ones in the background. The one with the log for the helmet is a total repaint. The middle one and him are pretty much finished now.
Tonight I got the pole armed goblins from out of their box. I then spent an absolute age trying to find some missing ones.
I eventually decided that I didn’t have them and made do with some spares from the other sets.
In the box were my Mordheim Sisters. I never liked how these were painted so they have been white washed too.
I will hopefully make a start on them tomorrow.
There are two units of twelve in the background. I think I have four foot units (including the unpainted one). They are spread all of the place.
When I say done, I mean the seven that I had undercoated.
Here they are robbing out the stones from the wall.
I also got the frogs done too.
For these photos I decided to try out my background book…
I also used one of my battle mats. To go onto the table.. I am pleased with how it looks for both photos.
I will probably do the dozen goblins with spears next. Well I need them done as soon as possible as Highland Miniatures are bringing out orks next month. I am liking what I see so far.
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.
