Giftmas 2022

I have just received my order of stuff that will wow Gerry and I can say it is to die for. I think I’ll need to place a second order with how awesome it is.

Second order of bits placed and more basing on the way as well. This will make for an awesome post-hardship present. With the way this year has gone I think the Giftmas pick-me-up haul is well worth the wait.

So I’ve made progress in finishing the second of Lloyd’s forces. The only thing now is to get the Big Guys in hand and painted up. I’m working on that with a Canadian Connection. Yes, I’m an International Man of Mustachery and things are afoot.

This has spurred me forward to Free’s portion of things and I must say the shipping solution to the shipping problem was fun. Now time to slap it all with paint.

Warren will be getting a fine surprise on top of his first gift and I believe this all to just be a gift that keeps on giving or might well just be shared openly among the OTT crew. Thinking of that, Justin’s part in these shenanigans has been cleaned up and I’m looking for a display appropriate for the gift. Ben’s gift is almost done but also suffering from the same issue but I believe some sculpting will alleviate the problem. John…. heh heh heh… “We All Love You”…(quiet chuckle as the countdown to opening the present moves ever closer).

This is the one gift the OTT crew get before true Giftmas. It is a hint as far as what is related to the upcoming celebration.

The madness continues and there is more in the works. Great and wondrous things lie ahead.

Goblin Green is a pigment I cannot get unless I want to wait for something that Coat d’Arms makes (208 Grass Green?) to arrive from an order. I’m pressed for time and have much to do. I’ll make do with Escorpena Green from Vallejo.

Plinth or not to plinth; also, who will receive the shipment of blue dudes I meant for Free?  Hmm

Repairs are underway.  When things break and you need to replace bits ot can be a pain in the ass but offer opportunity to throw in random conversion. I’ve seen that resin is so fragile for this and another project.

Segue thought

Aside from giving the gifts of friendly pain and suffering at the most joyous time of year, I might suggest firmer resins to a coworker if we get a business off the ground.
