A quick update on various and sundry things.
The hankie/lace issue hasn't been resolved. I need some time on the couch without too many distractions and that hasn't happened in the last few days. It's on the list.
The undead pirates are painted, varnished, and have the sand on the bases. The monster is one step behind because he needed to be attached using epoxy and I was waiting for another project to get to the epoxy state as well. That has been achieved.
I'm also painting one of my personal armies to bring to ReaperCon so I've been working on those as well. 5 dwarf bear riders are well underway. The bears are painted except for a couple of touchups where they were lying down and are currently letting their epoxy set as well. See above for 'another project'. This was it.
The bear riders need to be painted yet but now that I will be able to handle the model without fear of damaging the paint it will go much easier.
I also have 3 mancatcher models (nasty models with reach) that I started at paint night so those are the next ones up to be done. I'd say they're close to 1/4 done already. I'm such an optimist.
Terrain-wise I did get the final arena-in-trade pieces base coated but they need the touchups. I'm hoping to get those done over the weekend even though it's a busy one. That's looking for the holes and seams where the paint didn't get so it's kind of a finishing thing. The drybrushing goes really quickly and his decorative painting is easy.
Also regarding terrain I'm stealing a really good idea from a friend and making mold masters for village houses. The masters are completed walls with knuckle joints so I can pour an entire house in just a few pieces and assemble them quickly. It's an easy way to build a village. I'm currently making pieces in 4, 5 and 6 inch wall lengths so I can make some real variety. I'm out of the 30 degree blocks that are great for the roof angles so I'll need to cast some of those to make the roof sections. Gee, me having to cast more blocks to complete a project. Who would have thought it?
Maybe pictures this weekend, maybe not.
If you need some of the thirty-degree blocks, let me know: Fark gave me a ton of them and I'm not using them at the moment.
