Model Monday – Warhammer crafting

Posted on by Shawshank

AKA – I forgot how stressful painting is.

It took me 2 tries and about 45 minutes to paint basically one colour on the base of Eddie the Eversor.

I actually had to strip it once and reapply the primer. Well, Crystal reapplied the primer as I’m not to be trusted with it.

While I struggle, Crystal is flying through the bases for the sisters. I’m still trying to come up with a good name for my army. Our Ladies of the Blessed Change? Too wordy?

I have a bit of a headache, so I think the painting is done for me for the day. Last night, I dreamed of dry brushing. Last night. I haven’t painting in like two years, and the day before I start painting, I dream of it.

Weird.

It’s PRIME TIME baby!

Yes! We actually got off our butts and did some Warhammer priming today. I, needing adult supervision, needed Crystal to watch me. Of course I primed a little too heavy, so I had Crystal prime.

“Do you trust me?”

“Um, of course I do!

She has a plan for Celestine. She’s the artist, and I have complete faith in her ideas.

Tomorrow, we paint!

Nerd Tuesday – magnets and milliput, oh my!

In an effort to earn her keep here at the flat, Crystal is doing the artsy fartsy stuff that she’s really good at – basing, and in a new twist magnetizing the Triumph of St. Katherine.

I’m not allowed to hover, so I’m watching an old Tabletop Tactics battle.

Yay!

Model Monday – Seraphim

Posted on by Shawshank

I had plans to build today. I got everything out and just about ready. I say down, and thought I really don’t feel like doing this. So I packed everything back up.

About 40 minutes or so later, I had everything back on the table. I built the 5 Seraphim that come in the Combat Patrol box.

Finally, the glue flowed well, and they went together with nigh a problem. It was ok. I enjoyed the time building today, but I wasn’t really excited about it.

It didn’t feel like a chore at all, I like to build. My heart just wasn’t in it today.

However, I can’t wait for next weekend to build some more!
