No time to take pictures!

2009-10-29T01:57:32Z

I brought the camera to OshCon but didn't get to take pictures since I was playing in the demos. Oh well. And I can't really take pictures right now because the minis aren't accessible. I promise that as soon as I can I'll get them posted. The...

So tired ...

2009-10-07T04:38:24Z

But progress is being made! I'm too busy painting to take pictures right now but between the stuff I had already done and the new miniatures I have enough for 4 demo armies. I'm still finishing up the last ones. 5 of them need lining. 4 of the...

Well that was a waste

2009-09-20T06:23:14Z

I'm currently working on painting the Dragon Turtle and pretty much everything I painted today is going to get repainted. In short I picked the wrong colors and I was trying to do too much. Longer story. He's got plating on his arms, legs, neck...

Wow. I'm surprised you're still checking this

2009-09-18T05:07:41Z

I'm making the assumption that you are. In a nutshell, I have too many hobbies. I went on a complete sewing binge and that kept me from the paint table. Heck, I even used the chair there as storage. I'm a bad, bad painter. But now that's over...

Thoughts on life

2009-07-13T19:51:30Z

Today would have been my parent's 47th wedding anniversary. I say 'would have' because my mom died 4 years ago. No, not on their anniversary which would have really been unpleasant. It was 3 months later. I called my dad just to let him know I...

I'm not ignoring you, honest

I've just been busy with other projects and the minis have been neglected. So here's a pic of the mini I entered into an online contest. She's actually a part of my personal dwarf army and was painted for that, not a contest. Meet Gwyddis.

I'm stealing Rob's posting method again

2009-06-24T15:59:11Z

I've got a variety of unconnected updates so I'll just use Rob's Bullet Method(tm). I'm a complete painting slacker. My arena pieces and the leezards are just sitting on the paint table collecting dust. My friend is making a swing lamp holder l...

Sigh .. Undead pirates

2009-06-19T00:19:37Z

Well, after all that the undead pirates are going to be taking a bit of a vacation. I did find out after I had them painted that they weren't going to be in the first release of Warlord changes and so I need to set them aside and work on factions...

Argh! Undead pirates!

2009-06-18T01:43:23Z

This is just a quick post because I think I finally figured out how to make the seaweed for their bases. Once that's in place I'll have to take all new pictures. You can see the others in the collection below and once they're really complete I ...

Ah, the smell of craft paint

2009-06-07T03:42:48Z

The smell of craft paint always reminds me of school. That evocative smell of cheap acrylic paint that we used in so many projects. And that's what I'm using on the arena I'm painting up. Well, not completely cheap paint but it all kind of has ...
