Experiencing technical difficulties....

This has been a very frustrating week from a hobby point of view.

Last Friday I got some more amazing Wrath Of Kings Teknes models and also got back from a road trip and got ready to work on some buildings I'm doing for another project and ever since I got everything prepped the weather has made it impossible for me to prime or spray ANYTHING.  And so here 6 days later my pig-men sit still waiting to see some paint...


I'm going to work on some floor plans tonight for some new buildings I'm doing (interiors and exteriors) and will hopefully also finish 1 model I need for a game tomorrow afternoon but other than that I'm in a bit of a dry spell until the weather co-operates.

So I can finally say I've found a downside to working quickly though my models.  It means when I can't prime I don't have a pile of primed or half-painted stuff just hanging out on my desk.

    WOW!

    I didn't realize until I posted this and my blog stats/profile thingy came up that this is my 500th blog post!

    On one hand I feel like I don't update often enough, on the other hand that feels like a lot to me.

      That's awesome Jay! You're right on both points FYI ;)

      Thanks Jordan!

      Work is taking up a lot of extra time this month (its our year end appraisal season) but I expect in April and May to be able to atleast update with the frequency I did in February.

    Never learned the trick to painting a lot of minis quickly. I am still a glacial slow painter. I have a bunch of Hadross I am painting up, some KD, Darklands, TGG...

      It radically changes your perspective when you do miniatures and models for work. You treat painting deadlines just like you treat any other professional deadline and you also learn to live by the 2 foot rule. I'm going to look at most of my stuff from 2 feet away so how it looks super up-close (and in macro photography) is not important.

    Wish I could work like that. Well, not really. I am painting for me, not for work. It's fun, so I want the final product to look as good as I can make it. Luckily, no deadlines.

      Technically I'm no longer painting for "work" I just developed some good habits and still have them :)
