Well, at the weekly paint night I did a basic cloak paint job but since the lighting is less than optimal I'm going to have to do all the detail work here at home. I'm going to try .. plaid. Wish me luck.
And then after discussing the website changes that will be happening this weekend (far too much discussion for a paint night) I did get some other painting done.
I got the base coat on some of the Razig undead pirate army. I wanted to start on something easy so I grabbed the 4 sword mooks. Turns out they're zombies, not skellies. The bone paints went back in the caddies, the undead flesh came out. I got all the skin painted up, which is not bad at all.
I'm debating about how to paint the eyes on these guys. During the brief pause in posting to take the dogs outside I got the idea of grey for that blank stare that zombies do so well. That sounds like it might work.
On the housework front I did pretty well today. The kitchen is back in order and I was able to get Scooba running during my lunch break. So the living room floor is nice and clean. I'm going to try to get the dining room done tomorrow. I love coming home to a nice clean floor that I didn't have to scrub myself. Robot servants!
I got another 3 Hirst Arts casts done today. One before I left for work, one while I was waiting for lunch to cook, and one poured after paint night and staying in the molds overnight. I switched out the Gothic Arena for the basic wall builder since I was running very low on basic building bricks. I can still cast the two little pieces from the arena mold that I always seem to need off the same mix so I'm doing just fine. If I can get 3 casts done per week night and maybe 5 per day over the weekend then I'll be in very good shape. I'm going to let them air dry while I work on other projects since that only takes 2 days and I have lots of things I can be doing. Like redesigning part of my challenge build that needs the bricks I'm casting right now.
I'm hoping to keep posting rather regularly this month. In the past I've gone days between postings and since there's no limit on how many times you can post I'm going to take advantage of that. I really don't like posting more than once per day so the end-of-the-day post kind of contains everything that's been in my noggin for the day. Makes it more of a mash-up sometimes.
