MODEL FUND: Empire Sold.. and there there goes the Fantasy GT

Well I was able to finally sell of the Empire Army for a bargain 5k, this added significantly to my model fund for my future purchases. Of course with me trying to stop any additional purchases until I actually manage to paint everything (or at least finish painting something) the cash should sit in my bank account for a while.

In other news.. I had lost impetus to paint my fantasy army when I heard that the GT would be done on May 17 -- which happened to be our scheduled family vacation in La Luz. Ironically our vacation got cancelled due to a typhoon hitting the Batangas shores. I had planned instead to take my daughter to the Oceanarium but was suprised that my parents had taken her with them to Alfonso.

My day was actually freed up and I could have played at the Fantasy GT... If only I had woken up on time as well as at least doing some touch ups to my army.. Oh well theres always the next 40k GT....

What not to do with a Pinvise

Here's something I just found out. When the tube that contains your super glue has its nozzle clogged because of dried glue, never use your PinVise to try to unclog the hole when the glue hasn't dried yet. Heck don't do it regardless if the glue is dry or not.

I snapped the darn thing in half.. argh..

GENERAL: The Regatta is over, now back to my geeky stuff

I had participated last week in the 2008 President's Cup Regatta in Subic, my third one and finally we got to 3rd place overall.. (read more of it here ) Now I can start focusing on getting my fantasy army painted and ready for the April Fantasy Grand Tournament that is going to happen this April 18. At least I finished touching up/varnishing most of the mutants so at least there out of the way.

Time to paint the Waaagh.

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.
