@Miss Dee:

So polished off the Dialogus, but not happy with it. I feel that generally my painting's taken a dip of late. This is at least in part because of suffering from cramps and other pain in my right hand and wrist, which is at times causing it to lock up completely. As a result, I feel like I'm having to take short cuts and rush things, or just work around the pain. Yes, I appreciate I should go and get it looked at.

Anyway, that's been a major factor as to why I've not been working on the Orks etc - I want to do them justice - and why stuff has slowed also.

Hey ho, sorry for the little whinge there,
graven

I expect you write a lot with your hand...aka handwriting... it is to be expected... which is a bummer....and I also suggest to pay a visit to your doc of your trust... this sounds not good... might be several reasons and all that I could come up with are graven... (no pun intended...well a bit maybe^^)...

after a certain age these small hassles age gifts us with can sum up to real nastiness...which you as a father certainly don´t need ontop of everything...

Repetative strane injery

Yeah, hand and wrist injuries tend to affect P&M stuff....does sound similar to some RSI issues I had a few years back from spending long hours with my hand on a mouse. Supports, rest and getting it checked out for any underlying causes are the way forward....but I expect that's not news to you

So many awesome tanks! they are so different with the way you re-design them into your own view of what you want to see trundling through the battlefields defending humanity! loving the colours too, looks really complimentary together!

I suspect you guys are right. Writing on a board doesn't help :-/ it's when it locks up that's it's a real problem. Still, been.okay last couple of days. Another job interview Monday, so trying to be positive and focused.

Anyway for all you treadheads (cheers damo )

Dirty.girls
Smoke liberally applied. Always scared at this stage cos they just look a mess!
Next, dirt...

Your Motoring Cavalcade is looking great.

Good luck on Monday, hope all goes well with the interview!!

Good luck with the interview and the battle chapels are thundering along

We're expending plentiful faith points with regards to your ability to succesfully weather the motor pool

And good luck for Monday!

Be sure of my crossed fingers!
And I know what you mean with fearing that certain stage in painting....that's why most of my tanks are all mint instead of weathered...as I chicken out of this kind of job...

The dirty girls are looking good so far Graven.

We'll keep praying here buddy. You keep painting their, the sisters are looking great

Thanks for kind words and thoughts y'all. For that, some saucy, sticky sisters on their backs:

Best wishes for Monday.

Those tanks look really dirty.

Good work Graven and good luck.

Thanks chaps!
Started cleanup:

Also, got Talisman from the kids for dad's day

Lucky bugger!!

Nice tank, the waethering along the bottom is more subtle than the others.

Her bottom has simply received the next lot of attention - the others will get there too eventually.

Ah so you're a bottom man?

Oioioi...behave the lot of Ye!...

I'd add to the conversation, but my 10' pole seems to have gone missing.

^i've got a spare Theo!

Stop looking at my BOTTOM

'I like tank butts and I can not lie...'

Don't you need that spare for your next calendar shoot Damo?

Now that's a cool father's day present

Indeed, I am a lucky guy. Just back from inlaws where there was beer and pizza.
Meanwhile...

Very good to hear! And, yes boss!

Didn't get the job, which sucks, but really good feedback. Staying positive!

Sorry to hear about the job, but glad to hear your takin positive . I know from experience how you can get down while looking. Keep up the awesomeness of work on the tanks, it will be such an amazing army when completed.
