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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
