In what seems like almost nothing and forever a month has passed since my last blog post, not a good thing. On the positive side much of the lack of posting has stemmed from either time spent with the girlfriend or hobby related projects.
1) Ive got a small friendly commission to paint 1:700 scale minis of the Tirpitz, Prinz Eugen, HMS Hood and the USS Essex. Ive never worked in this scale or on naval minis before so its become a learning experience as I work with figuring color schemes that work for each vessel and fiddly little things like what color an aircraft carrier deck really would look like.
2) I'm pushing myself towards some conversion work that involves sculpting, and being reminded how pitiful my sculpting skills really are. On the project desk is a knight for the girlfriend that is inspired by an Osprey color plate of a Saxon or Norman knight of the 1100's; a scratch built Battletech Hover pickup technical, converting a Battletech Raijan to the new Raijan 2 configuration, replacing the forearms of the reseen Maruader that lost bits, and heraldry work on some pre Heresy World Eaters for 40k.
3) It looks like Im going to be running Battletech games on Saturdays for a while now, except for GASP games days.
More on this all later
