By Jove it’s Friday!

I’m feeling much more motivated this week, so let’s see if I can’t get more done?

My pledge will be to finish those Orcs (they’re actually varnish-drying as I type this). Then back to my Elves.

@evilstu stay safe! We’re under a total fire ban here too, though RFS has been working fairly constantly around here the last 12 months with clearance burns.

Don’t worry @sundancer I’m a native English speaker and I’m only guessing at what @evilstu has typed for question 3 ?

To whit:

Reading List?
Not much at the moment. I don’t read nearly as much as I used to. I should purchase the second book of the Kingkiller Series by Patrick Rothfuss. I got the first book for free on Audible when it was recommended to me. Also I’ve been wanting to find the next part of Brandon Sanderson’s Stormlight series. But I’d rather buy the book than listen to it, since I read the first book.

Painting Challenge?
I’ve never tried one… if I were? I’d want to take a week off work to have to myself just to paint. I’d need plenty of music and a really good painting setup to work at. Better than the desk in the third bedroom I have now… The goal would probably be set around a theme: paint all my Fantasy Hero characters, and a stack of enemies. Or pick a box and paint every mini in the box. Then pick another box etc.

Miniature style? (Is that what you’re asking?!?)
Wow, mathematical!

It depends on what they’re for: characters or minions.

For minions I don’t mind using rank-and-file mass produced minis, as they’re meant to be a mass. Space Marine troops, Goblin or Skaven hordes, even a throng of Dwarves.

Characters though should be unique. They don’t have to be made to order, though conversions are fun, just stand out from the crowd.

Did I understand the question correctly? ?

I’ll be back with music later… gotta catch up with the Fighting Fantasy Halloween RP first ?
