Contacted the finnish tax office. Damn that was hard. Needed to know how to report prizes of LOTR tournament and damn the tax office didn't make it easy. Online chat doesn't answer this question(they direct to phone line). Can't send email, can't book time for face to face(that's currently limited to groups of 6+ foreign berry pickers...) and phone lines jammed.

After several days and multiple attempts FINALLY managed to call when there wasn't 10+ persons on line so after 15 minutes of listening the background music(urgh) got through and got help.

They are making their best to encourage not notifying them what law asks to notify eh? Well got the information so I can now follow the law avoiding any nasty even remote chance of getting hit by police(finland seems to take dimmer view on tax evasion than assaults) without having to trim down on prizes. Could have limited prizes to 20e or less but for first tournament want to go bit more interesting even paying part of prizes out of my own pocket(rather than cover fully with entry tickets)

The life of a rookie tournament organizer! Good thing I started preparations well ahead.

Give box prizes, not cash!! Damn, that sounds like a right PITA!!

Finished Halbarad, Elladan and Elrohir

I give. Specifically FW LOTR models. Tax office wants to know that TOO. (there's tick "not given in cash")

Miniature gamers aren't really the main target for this law(it won't have notable impact on your taxation anyway...) but got hit as a side effect. Ah well. Have figured it out now so it's just thankfully form online that I fill.

More Primaris Crimson Fists. Slapping Kantor Blue all over 20 marines.

Working on my conversion to make a Rhino and a Immolator interchangeable.

Received and will paint this incredibly underwhelming Mantic Terrain Crate set...I was hoping they'd stepped up their quality/size since the Dungeon Saga disappointment. Apparently not.

Painted Harad Warriors(mumakil is so slow progress that figured let's paint something quick in the meanwhile...), some work on terrain and succumbed and bought 2nd hand dwarves as local player was giving good deal just as I had been thinking them as next force to go with moria goblins...grumble grumble. Insidious timing! Well €€€ wise good deal.

Today I hope to be painting up an old lead Castraferrum Dreadnought, plus stripping and disassembling an old Rogue Trader era Land Speeder. Both are recent ebay finds, and units I've been wanting to add to my collection for a long time.

A lot more work today. I finished Grifter for Batman and 3 Ronin for Malifaux, while doing more work on Arathorn, Hobbit Legolas and Gaslight Batman. Aiming to get those mostly finished tomorrow along with some more Malifaux

Finished my conversion so that my Immolator can convert to a Rhino with a single turret swap.

Taking the extra bits and models I got in the nightstalker army box and turning them into a unit of doppelgangers for Kings of War

Does it count as hobbying if I use my Super glue for models to fix my sandal and accidentally glue it to my own damn foot?

I think that counts as true scale modelling

More Primaris Crimson Fists. Completed the 2 marines I needed for a full battle line company. 36 more marines and a Captain now in progress.

Magnetizing some Immolator weapons.

Painting some Tiny Furniture miniatures!

Mainly organizational stuff - have a box of Assault Marine sprues to be clipped and sorted for storage

Primed the Immolator.

I obtained some nolzur's marvelous minis and some pathfinder deep cuts. Bit of segue out of miniatures war gaming but you can bet I'll be raiding some of my army bitz boxen for parts.

Started planning on how I will painting my Valkyrie.

Cheers,

CB

Finished Gotham by Gaslight Batman, built Hecaton Aiakos and started painting my Gorilla Grodd crew

Working on bunch of terrain. Also finished 5 ringwraiths plus foot betrayer. Used black 3.0 paint for hoods and sleeves which makes them really pop in blackness. Rather thick paint so not suitable for anything with details that needs to remain but hood interiors it works nicely.

Also started basing 14 moria goblins and their king. These plus dweller in dark is going to be my 1st batch in this month. Easy peasy

Will be trying to wrap up my Knight Incantor model as I missed the deadline for the shop tournament like a champ.

Also making moves to build some Exodite Dragon Knights as I now have the bits necessary!

Very nice tneva82.

Working on my Vendetta/Valkyrie conversion.

Cheers,

Nothing!

Its too damn humid to base coat anything so I have a table of models waiting for the weather to turn so I can start working on them.

I have managed to get a bunch built though and hopefully will be my main project for the next month or two.

Ended a long week + weekend of building my movement trays, magnetized various units to go with said movement trays, built a bunch of Artel W not-Eldar units, and pimped-out 15-or-so old Rubric Marines to have them battle-ready. Pretty happy with all that done!

Undercoating a bunch of Primaris Marines, and painting others that were already undercoated. Hoping to get to 200 battle line Crimson Fists marines before Christmas (Currently at 100). Next year will be for getting a large Sisters of Battle army built and painted.

Will be doing some more work to my imperial knight, grabbed some rare earth magnets from work to play around with weapon swaps.

Building a Chaplain Dread from FW - however I'm using old classic 4th edition dreadnought arms so they dont scale exactly well
