I really didn't do what I would have thought to be an extended painting session today. 5 hours, broken up a few times to get up and do other things. But by the end I knew I had enough and couldn't do anything else of value.
I didn't get nearly as much done yesterday as I had planned but it was too nice of a day to spend closeted in the paint room. I won't say it was wasted because it wasn't. I still got a couple of hours of painting in and I didn't burn myself out by trying to do 2 marathon paint days.
Of the remaining figures the fiddly one is done. It's still in 2 parts since it is much easier to varnish them separately and then epoxy together. Epoxy is clear so I'm not worried about a little overflow. She turned out quite nicely and the hair was so well sculpted I had to spend extra time to make it look good.
I started on the last figure and I'm guessing he's about 1/3 done. Knowing the colors really does make it go faster and if I hadn't been starting to wander mentally I probably would have gotten more done. But he's well underway and I can see him getting done in short order. Then my army is fully painted!
For the pickup army I only needed to add 2 figures from my stash. I painted up one of them at paint night last week (yay easy paint jobs!) and the other one is either going to be easy or hard. I won't know until I get started. She's prepped and mostly primed so I can try painting her after I finish the required ones.
I'm going to work on building the bases this week so they're all done by Wednesday. As previously noted I'm not that concerned about painting them here but priming would be great since that works like glue to hold the basing materials down. I also need to cut the foam inserts for the transport case for these figures. Again, time.
At least for next year I'll have at least one completed army so I won't have to go through this again, right?
