I pledge this week to finish another commission figure(maybe more) as I get my painting area and general room in order. As promised in last Weekender I have finished one of the minis from my most recent commission.

I’m not thrilled about my skintone work or the face but the scales came out better than expected. On to the other pieces for me and I’ll have pics of the work as soon as their done.
On a related note that I think I have found a way of motivating myself to paint more. I’ve set up my DETOLF shelves with some after market shelves to display all my unpainted figures. I can’t run away from the bare metal and resin. I look in and see my Horde of Shame naked and waiting for paint. I’ve come to the crisis of knowing I cannot paint to the great display level I want but I have a butt ton of figures that must be covered in pigment. I will post pictures this weekend as evidence which all can consider as well.

Now questions…
1. Some things important to me when I was young were my collections. I had a collection of LEGO, GI Joe, stuffed animals, sports cards, comics and other stuff here and there. Nothing stayed around as I grew up with my family moving. Things needed to be gotten rid of in order to lower the military weight allowance for home good shipment.
2. The best deal I’ve managed I think I might’ve just had with the Miniature Market warehouse sale. I bought a large umber of the Micro Art bases at a fraction of the cost normally. If its still on I recommend it.
3. Rules are pretty much there to be followed until the errata breaks the game with expanded rulings on esoteric situations. Then again those times might come up more often than not and be the whole reason for the errata. In general its fun to tweak the rules when playing things like GURPS with their character builder and watching the GM twitch slightly when rolling it out to see if its playable in the campaign.
Music in future.. time for sleep
