Morning

Hopefully I’ve got my painting mojo back. Need to have a bit of a tidy up then have a go at some 10mm Ottomans

Will I attend virtual UKGE. Nope,to be honest even seeing the stalls that were shown when its been covered on  BoW there seemed nothing of interest for me

Would I attend a virtual con?  I highly doubt it. It all just seems a bit pointless

I forgot the toilet question.  Yup I read books while on the loo

• Will you attend virtual UKGE? – I might poke my nose in when I remember to over the course of the weekend
• Will you attend any virtual convention? – no plans to attend anything specific
• When sitting on the ceramic throne do you let your mind wander, read a book, have smartphone with you or something else? A book?! How long do you spend in there?? A magazine article, maybe a page or two of a newspaper. If I remember, a pen to do a sudoku or something (minesweeper puzzles in the i newspaper are perfectly timed!) Sometimes, though, just a good hard think is perfect.

Pledge: My fantasy football terrain Kickstarter delivered today – already printing billboards and pitch-side hoardings; getting some of those painted up would be a good start. But I’ve also got a few cyberpunk NPCs to finish off for my own game – maybe I should pledge those and get something finished, instead of started!

Music: I used to play in a three-piece punk band. We covered this, much to the delight of every venue we played (all three of them)

I remember this fondly, every time I’m walking around the local store, searching for ten pence off Lenor.

Catelyn is finished already, and I’m rather pleased with how she turned out. I love the colours and they did exactly what I’d hoped for in the general appearance. The project log should be up soon-ish…

Maybe I should pick a different backdrop after all… 😛

And have a catchy song, too:

I DID get the pledge for last week done but now get around to a picture.

The week’s pledge, repair the resin figure I got from an eBay printer and dropped on the dining room table. Thanks to Greenstuff world I have 90×120 ovals that will be great for bigger stuff on tables and while I was working out size details and initial build for base materials the beautiful work dropped. I’m surprised by the manner in which the resin sheared along horizontal print lines and will be helpful to refit and pin with little adjustment.

I’ll keep at commission stuff, since I just turn around and use that money for other toys. I don’t think its likely that I’ll get off this hamster wheel.

No thanks for the virtual UKGE. I don’t see myself doing anything of the sort in future with any con/expo. I appreciate the elimination of subjecting myself to gamer funk but its not the same to not be able to oggle the new figures coming out, bs with random strangers or rush to different panels at breakneck speed through unmoving crowds.

When upon the Seat of Power I catch up a little on my MOBA as I lack the ability to get to pc/console gaming. I definitely let my brain wander as it is the best thing to have running most of the time. There are times though that its the best occasion to speak with family. If I were to read a book I dread the pain of my legs falling asleep and then having to get up.

Look on eBay and start searching for resin miniatures. Generally you’ll spot the same ones over and over. Those are likely the people licensed to print 3D files from designers. Artisans Guild has a few of them out there. I’ve worked with one guy near me who’s really been good when a print failed to cure and then gave me a great deal as an apology. Neckbeardia is a channel I follow that has given me both lulz and cringes for their content as its about gaming. They promote their shop and they have the same content as the guy I’ve worked with. For the European crowd they’d likely be the best option out there if you want to get high quality stuff and cut cost on shipping.

Here’s the channel; their ad normally features at the end of more recent videos
