PAINTING: More Mutants nuts..

Well yet more mutants have been finished touching up and varnished. The afternoon heat has given me a headache though. I still got 5 mutants too finish and varnish but I need to put them on hold for now. The Fantasy Tournament has been scheduled on April 19 and I still haven't started doing anything yet except prime the Warboss and the Standard Bearer.

With me going to Subic I wont be able to start on them until next week. Here we go.

GENERAL: Holy Week is here

Well I was able to finish touching up and varnishing 10 more mutants and in the process of touching up 10 more. I still don't have that urge to paint much which is probably the cause of my slow progress as well as the fact that real life gets in the way.. Of course that can be thought of as a cop out since I dont have work till April 1. But still I have a daughter to take care of.

Looking at some very personnal issues with her that I just learned about over the weekend that caused me to drink at home.. Its going to be a bit more complicated..

Lord give me strength.

We are going out of Metro Manila for the Holy week so probably no work will be done this week.

GENERAL AND PAINTING: Touch ups, Varnishing and ROTKXI

I was able to tear myself away from the PS2 game of Romance of the Three Kingdoms XI (something that I was able to play the original waaay back in 90) and manage to touch up and then varnish some 25 mutants with 35 more to go.

I need to finish all of them within the week so that I can finally start on the Orc and Goblin army I need to play for the April GT.

here we go again

GENERAL: Nothing done last week

Was too busy to do any modelling last week since we went to Boracay for a family vacation (my brother and his family was here and my wife was still here to we were complete). Too bad the rains came with us there so the waters were rough and cold. Still we were complete so its not that bad.

I also spent the next few days preparing for my wife's departure to work back in the US for the next 8 months again. I've got the spare time now to paint I guess. It sure is going to be lonely for a while here.

I did try to assemble a wooden woodcraft kit of a biplane during the weekend. Let's just say it didnt work out as I planned it to be.

Here's to me starting to varnish my mutants for me to end the month.

MODELLING: Doing some Orc Bosses

Wasn't in a painting mood so I decided to start assembling my new Orc Warboss on Boar with the stuff that I had won two years ago for the Jonnel Cup. The assembled Boar has a noticeable gap between the two halves, will need to fill the gap if only I can find my two part epoxy to do the job.

Also tried to assemble the Black Orc BSB on Boar but my choice of parts means I need to do some filing away some more. Now where's my Blue Tac?
