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!
I started around 10 am today, and just finished shortly after 3. I took my time. Filed and cut dangly bits, and I didn’t cut myself!
Today I built the Adepta Sororitas Triumph of Saint Katherine. Wow, it’s a lot smaller than I thought it would be- but hella detailed.
So. Many. Tiny. Pieces.
It looks amazing. I really like it. It’s a beautiful model.
That’s the last model (for now) that I have to build. I do plan on going into CapitalCity before Crystal comes, to buy some more models to build. My plan is to paint all winter. And the winter is long here.
Tomorrow is the day. The day I start to build The Triumph of Saint Katherine.
I’m nervous about it. It’ll be the biggest model of my army so far. But like Crystal told me today – just take your time, and read the instructions. Just like with the LEGO.
So that’s what I’m going to do. Step by step. Begin at the beginning.
It’s been a nice and lazy day here at The Flat. I honestly have done pretty much nothing.
I’ve been building and taking pictures of my Sisters of Battle – Adepta Sororitas.
I almost packed it in after cutting out the first too pieces. The damn glue wouldn’t come out. I had to Google if there was any way to fix this, as I didn’t want to drive 5 hours total for just one little item from the Warhammer store in CapitalCity.
Thankfully I didn’t have to. But the magic was really gone – the excitement of the build was dashed from 20-40 minutes of figuring out that stupid glue problem.
I only built one model, and two armorium cherubs. I just didn’t have the excitement to continue. Plus, I only have 4 sisters left to build in the Retributor squad.
So after I built the Retributor Superior, and the two cherubs, I decided that I should probably dust the ‘hammer shelf.
I took the pictures and then sent them to Crystal to work her magic.
Now I’m just on the couch watching yet another Tabletop Tactics battle report. This one is from a year ago, I’ve watched all the newer ones. They only put out one video a week on Freeview.
* I think that there should be a hobby graphic for future hobby posts. Psst email/message/light the beacon and maybe she’ll make one!
GONDOR CALLS FOR AID!
Good morning all you party people! It’s Sunday, and you know what that means: Chore Day!
Yesterday was a pretty good day. This weekends road trip went way better than the previous one, which was great. We went to BiggerTown to return some items, then it was off to CapitalCity.
We had lunch at an A&W, and then we went to the auto parts store. I split off from there and found myself in a Warhammer store. Yay! I’ve been wanting to go for a while and here I am. I wasn’t just looking for me, I was looking for Crystal as well. I got her a small model, and a larger model – for Christmas.
I got a big model for me, and while telling Crystal about it last night, I said I wanted to do some advanced things to it. That means I’ll need adult supervision in this case, I’ll need her artist supervision.
I know right? I’m excited and scared to build it.
After I picked up all the cool loot, I head back to the auto parts store, my mom goes look, this would help you build your models. It’s a clamp on light with magnification. I said test it would help but I just spent all my money on this – and I held up the bag. She just picked it up and put it in the shopping cart. I thanked her a lot as we walked up to the checkout.
Ok coffee is ready – let’s start the day!
