What are you doing today hobbywise?

Having worked in a retail environment, i get it.

 

Finished up my eight cultists last night. (The front four are the new ones.)

I didn't actually take any images but I worked on my nurgle demon Prince (no wings, thank you) today. I got the rough gluing done. Now comes the harder part.

I have to source or make another huge axe for him. As well as affix the head and sculpt.

This of course could get put on the back burner so don't expect anything immediately.

 

...I went to the dentist today. On top of all the other crap I've had to deal with this year, now I need $4k of dental work. A root canal, 8 fillings, and so forth. Did you know that metal fillings will slowly CRACK the teeth they have been put into over several years' time? I did not until today...

But it does give me an excuse to work on minis I already HAVE, so I pulled my Marienburg Mordheim minis out and I'm turning them into a CoS Warcry warband for the new Great Weave campaign.

 

As someone going through my own dental related annoyances, I understand. Although I've never had a metal filling. I did have a back tooth crack at the beginning of the year.

I'm paying roughly 1,750 total for:

root canal (already done) -

Tooth lengthening by periodontal surgery - already done, post op appointment tomorrow. All my sutures have come out and my temp crown was not attached and nowhere to be found this morning when i woke up.

last week i got a phone call that they are scheduling my next appointment for another month from now to hopefully get the perm crown on. At this point, I think I'm going to go and talk to them after i see my perio-surgeon.

 

Geeeeeez....

 

I could get more prints started. I could work on a myriad of projects. I could paint.


And yet, where in the past I would stay up til 2am no problem, I'm exhausted now.

What the fuck, 30 years of age? You're not scheduled till November

 

Oh yeah... I turned 45 this year. I suppose I better figure out what I'm going to do for my mid-life crisis. I don't have a lot of dough, so I actually have to BUDGET for that.

 

go with the inexpensive option, bunker in your home and paint minis, assuming the apocalypse is coming.

 

I can only assume this is like a bowl of free sweets where some bastards just pick out all the good ones really quickly

Making DIY terrain with foam, MDF and $2 shop hobby supplies is so great. A barrow and a couple of stone walls!

 

They look good!

 

Nice work, foam and mdf are amazing materials to create a variety of scenery piece from.

Grrr, Imrahil

 

I encourage anyone who hasn't done it to give it a try! Cutting thin MDF, with an electric jigsaw or even just a fine hand saw, then sanding the edges smooth is simple-as. Cutting and shaping the foam is a bit more difficult, as it is hard to cut neatly and often looks ragged and unsatisfying. But that's fine for natural features like rocks or old weathered stonework. Then you just "seal" it with PVC glue so you can then paint it.

The start and halfway steps of DIY terrain can often be very unsatisfying, as you look at something and think "ugh it just looks like cut up junk/cheap cast plastic toys/whatever" but once you texture and paint it it can look amazing!

The walls and cairn were probably an hours work all up. Might have to try making a bit of a henge next time to go with my new beastmen!

 

Nice system.

 

I finished painting an Easterling Kataphract and worked somewhat on Faramir, Ranger of Ithilien.

Grrr, Imrahil

 

Nothing

Too busy with IRL stuff.

 

I finally finished my Crimson Court for Underworlds a couple nights ago. Pictures will be posted later, when I actually take some. I also spent a couple days this weekend running Hollows Last Hope under Pathfinder for Savage Worlds and now need to prep for running Rise of the Runelords for my group.
