Hope the hand is okay by the way. I was going to do some painting once but then I took and arrow to the wrist.

Indeed. Occupational Health review today is now leading to physio though.

I would, but the hobby is about the only thing preserving my sanity right now (oh, the irony).

What, just generally? Stat cards for FFG lovecraftian games slot in, with type, sanity loss etc visible but special abilities on the reverse so players don't see. Or did you mean modelling wise?

No, you got it. I was just commenting on the size and shape with the slot. Makes more sense with your explanation.

Very nice. I think I'll second the PVA slime though or even a gloss varnish, they look a little dry if you are going fro the slug look.

Good plan on pva, like the gloss idea too.

So, news. For the time being, I am going to have to stop painting and modelling. Pending assessment, I'm looking at surgery for my right hand as the problems are definitely not going away (phone is being typed with my left!) I'd never really realised quite How right handed I was before. In the short term I have to minimise what I use my hand for in terms of high Pressure - so typing, writing, holding a brush. Long term us positive but it's a heck of a pita. It's not to say I won't do any at all but it's certainly a scaling Back.
Anyway, only erratic updates for a while,
Cheers y'all,
Graven

Sorry to hear about the hand...gone through something similar... but yes indeed... rest now and will be worth it in the long run!

Take it easy!

You should get some brushes with super-short handles and learn how to paint with your mouth!

Sorry to hear that amigo, hope it gets sorted sooner rather than later. Please do keep in contact, otherwise we'll bring the League together in here and massively de-rail your thread to the point of lock-down.

Shame you didn't roll for ambidexterity back on your character generation.......

Oh god Graven, that poor hand area. What did you do. (;

You need to be careful! Surgery is good and dandy but, scary. I hope for a speedy recovery for you, your work is good.

Good luck old chap. Might be an opportunity to sort out more gaming.

Frak, that sucks, mate. I'm really sorry to hear it. I second that you spend more time gaming while you get this sorted. Give me a shout if you need opponents.

Oh and maybe post batreps so we know how you're doing?
