A short hiatus from painting my regular stuff here as I’ve been getting this year’s Giftmas packages ready and have been finishing a figure for Pundancer. The djinn was more than slightly irritating as I sat and pondered, more than I probably should have, what kind of fabric design it was going to get. Well, it came down to an Asian cloud motif and I set about to it. I regretted my decision at one point and moved past it. So far there the fabric is done, the  Lloyd shot when done will be awesome, and I’m on to the NMM of the belt/bracers/earrings/septum ring (the smallest of details that I’ll hit later). The skintone was actually inspired by the Grey Hulk from the early run of the comics. Most everyone assumes that Hulk is green and has always been so but he was originally wasn’t. There was also a point he was red but I think it was a short lived story arc. That aside I moved to more madness as the spears and shield were a late thought since the base looked a little naked aside from the ruins. I’ll add grass tufts to it like my other units in the end.

I have bowed to the pressure of needing magnets for my camelry and stopped by my FLGS after work this week. It has turned out to be fortuitous because I managed to snag a couple of large figure boxes from Chessex that they had ordered by mistake giving them a sale and making sure my fancy shmancy project pieces have adequate protection in my upcoming move.

As far as the magnets I’ll recommend trying to get them from places like JK Magnetics as Primal Horizon is very well overpriced and I can get so much more for the same price. I do love the shop but I need to be more frugal with my spending. This is a problem as I’ve snapped one of my camel rider’s spears again. I foresee more of the same and have looked into metal ones to avoid having to try and repair plastic. The pitfalls of the hobby.

On a separate note, the figures I believed were lost have been found. I only threw away the box. “Safe” might need to be reconsidered if I ever want to see my figures ever again.
