Well I did get these finished this evening. Not a huge amount done, but at least that is another unit down…
I still have a pile undercoating. I just had a look at the Irregular ones and they are covered in sand like the skirmish screen.
I will keep plugging away at these until they are finished.
Well my youngest got me back into playing Fallout 4 from the beginning again. I really forgot how much I liked it. I am only at the lower levels and have hardly got a long way on the map, which as people who play the game know is huge.
Part of me does fancy the board game or the miniature game, but I do wonder if I would get anyone to play it with.
I am off to the Corvega Assembly Plant just now to get rid of some raiders.
As you can tell, I am not painting this evening as it has been one if those days and we have only finished dinner half an hour ago. Here is hopingbthat tomorrow will be more productive.
My new paint rack has arrived, I built it instead of painting this evening… I think it fits in situ quite well.
I now have to find some paints to put into it…
This evening I set about getting some more work done on my Small Italian wars miniatures…
I finished the ones at the back and made a good start on the Tercio shot. Hopefully these will get some more done on them tomorrow.
We had beef stew and dumplings for our evening meal today. My middle child is gluten intolerant so we made her a separate portion in the only thing we had that could go in the oven…
We are going to open a trendy restaurant and serve meals in Pyrex jugs…I reckon there is a market for it.
Well as you might know I do like a bit of online gaming, and indeed sometimes I do get a bit miffed as tactics seem to be something that aren’t considered. I mean who drives a tank into a built up area without infantry support. Come to think of it an M8 armoured car survived three hits from my Tiger, so did various Shermans.
Secondly, I had a look on Facebook to see what gaming videos were there and I was a bit surprised to see scantily clad young ladies ‘playing’ games. One if them actually had a controller in her hand 🤣. I mean I am not a prude by any way or means. But it was a bit pathetic at the amount of blokes commenting and sending tips. I mean for the young lady in question she is making a fortune and as such is very enterprising. But do the blokes honestly think that they are in with a chance. In a way it was actually quite depressing watching fellow bloke make a complete arse of themselves.
Although I am drugged up to the eyeballs with painkillers I did manage some painting this evening…
I started on the Dinocrocuta and finished the Smilodon. This time I did the beasty grey to allow for the bone armour,
I got my copy of the new ‘One Ring’ today. I had a very quick flick through, but will have a proper read through soon.
This evening I got go work on some humans of various types
Obviously there is still a long way to go, but I am getting there. As I had some basing gunk going spare yesterday then I shoved it on this lot.
I hope to get this little bunch finished tomorrow.
Tonight got the spider demons and oni finished. I then sorted out some basing gunk… aka PVA, sawdust and brown paint.
As I couldn’t find my spatula it went on with an old brush…
Well, I intended to get various bits and bobs done tonight. I was sat here eating a shortcrust mince pie and suddenly realised that it was 21.45. I still need a bath and sort out for work tomorrow.
Therefore, there will be no painting or anything tonight… hopefully tomorrow will be more productive!
So my little parcel arrived today and built my MDF paint rack from the outpost…
Here it is sitting on my shelf, now this was worse than IKEA furniture to out together as although it was meant to be friction fit,
The back had a bit of a problem as the tab if it was in the top vertically stover the hole…
In the end I had to sit it in at a jaunty angle so that I could get the top row of paint in where the support was.
To be honest though, I have gone and bought a new one as it will sit beside this one … well for £7.95 it seemed a good price and it will hold 24 paints neatly.
