Those apes look like fun.

Grats on the house and kid!

Yeah, it wasn't bad either, though I resonated more with Iria:Zeiram.

Missed your post Nevelon, thanks

Still moving gak but I think I'll be done tomorrow. Still gotta clean, gotta be out at the end of the month.


I was foolish today. Very foolish.

Bones 3 snagged me. Curses.

In for the core set, and more add-ons than I should have ordered. Fie!

Oh well more to paint I guess

Told ya

You should see my kickstarter backed project page. I backed bones III twice, and canceled both before the deadline. It's such a deal but over a year to fulfillment . I can wait especially given that my money is going to Zombicide recently.

That graveyard was very tempting...but as Theophony says it is over a year away (plus high British shipping) so I did not pull the trigger. Maybe once the move is done and the new baby is settled too you can challenge yourself to paint as many minis as is i your pledge before they arrive?

Silence Carlos!

The year doesn't bother me so much... I do wanna skip kickstarters one of these years and do black Friday sales instead... Similar money saving concept but entirely different feel and execution.

@ToT I had a similar idea myself. Even if its not as many minis as are incoming, I do want to finish a bucket full of then...

Gotta figure out what's making them tacky though... Either its the dip, spray sealer, or both.

This help?

I knew I kept you around for something! Good spot, I'll try it out. Wonder if you can airbrush it.

I thought you just kept me around to frequently exclaim i told you so when you bite on another kick starter

Heh, that too, I suppose.

So, the new Bones releases coming up snagged you huh?

Yes... yes it did =/

Hell, I backed Bones 3 and all my Bones 2 stuff is still in green and black box it came in. Did get some use out of my Bones 1 figures, and now that I'm playing D&D again, I intend on getting some more use of my Bones collection.

In the mean time, you have about 5 months to catch up on your painting before your bones arrive.

Five? I thought it said like august or something? Yeah says August, and that's with snagging a sneaky wave 2 slot on the last day

Just a bit over a year then, challenge accepted! Though maybe not just entirely bones. Got lots of scifi and misc things to paint.

And scenery. I need to spend less money on models (whoops @bones3 =/), and have a couple of large boxes of scavenged scratchbuilding materials. Soon it will be time to set up shop and overflow my shelves with terrain muahaha.

Office is almost ready to fill with hobby stuff... just need to find the 4th leg for this ginormous office desk (or buy stuff to make a new one...) so I can have all of my surfaces planned out. I'm thinking computer desk, painting desk, and construction/tiny battlefield on the largest desk. Gotta make sure there's room for a bassinet or something so the little one can chill with me while I do stuff (but nothing with fumes or whatever), already given the older kiddo the room right outside the office for a playroom so hopefully I get some space to work

Sorry, yeah I confused Bones with Zombicide as far as release dates goes.

Saw the dakka painting challenge for something sneaky and decided to throw some paint on a nomad zero. Still needs sealed and based.

That's a nice looking nomad!

Cool color choices on her.

That gun though is everything I get frustrated about with anime. Weapons twice as big as the person using them

Really nice job with the Zero there

I agree with theo on the anime issue though lol.

I think that's more of an issue with comic books than anime. Especially in the 90s.

Great looking Zero, Grim. Good to see you're making your way out of limbo, too.

Wow, that was speedy! Looks great, though!

Thanks guys! May do a custodier next if I don't die of the heat...

Good job mate

Cheers, as they say. I have a bad feeling I won't be so productive tonight. A little over an hour in this crap and I'm already half dead... We'll see.

The dip has given her kind of a dirty worn look. Like someone who has no time to polish their armour which makes sense.

I feel your pain, Grim. My new place's air conditioning pretty much doesn't work upstairs, which is where I've got my hobby stuff. It's like a sauna up there. I've got two fans on me normally and I'll still be sweating like crazy.

gak barzam I feel for you on that. My current lair is pretty chill, but I used to live third floor in some apartments and my wife isn't a huge fan of ac lol..

@carlos yeah kinda like that. They live on a spaceship so I doubt there's much literal dirt but still dust and grime, and not likely a lot of water to deal with it. I may retouch the edges and raised/flat parts of the white a bit too, did it for my storm troopers and they cleaned up a bit as a result.

I'd like to power through the custodier and sin eater to finish all primed Nomads. Gonna look into airbrush for panOs, and I need to dig out my hobby knife to clean the new shasvastii.

Also airbrush for bones stuff, hand painting first layer is lame.

We have two window AC units to supplement the old house AC. Our house is 75 years young and the upstairs was originally an attic and not living space. When they brought AC into the house they didn't duct it up to the attic, but later spliced it in. But if we have the ducts open upstairs the rest of the house gets warm quicker, so as the master suite is upstairs we leave the ducts closed and just run a window air unit constantly. It actually has reduced our energy bills since doing that.

Today it's supposed to hit 93F here with a heat index of 106F. So do what you can to keep cool Grimdork. I don't envy you working outside like you do. I did that for 10+ years when I was young.

I think our heat index was like 110 for a couple of hours there. Still worked till five or six =/ Just gonna chill with the kids tonight.

What on earth is a heat index?
