Happy Sunday COGs!
Yes indeed, the background of my late night (early morning?) hobbying is the dulcet tones of the trio composed of Ben, Gerry and John.
Good job @brennon with a fine show to inspire working on stuff and not feeling bad about being a lazy sod. I’ll get my Arabian Knights done before @lloyd finishes his Pagan Rus.
@avernos All squirrels on deck or will they be running along the rigging?
@johnlyons We’re all watching and waiting for the next big thing you break out in The Pinkest Pink. Would it be flecktarn?
Aye – as a hobby, best not to start feeling bad about it!
Hi XLBS OTTers and COGz.
Lol Ben tender bum !?
This Montoya ?!? Lol.

Gerry/John is doing the D.Day landings at 28mm.?
Mug a tooth brush for the gun barrels ?
Yes standing out on the ship’s deck no danger says admiral Nelson.
Happy Sunday all. Btw, I love those vlogs I think they are great.
@avernos, a pirate Captain royal rumble you say, ?? colour me interested. I think a break from my developing TPK weekend would be good for everyone. Table for six please!
brilliant work on your figures Ben.
Great show guy’s.
Cheers 🙂
Great show as ever.
@avernos surely the hobbits (otherwise known as halflings) only get half a day each, therefore Fellowship in a week.
I have some Wind in the Willows miniatures coming from Northumbrian Tin Soldier, tempted to have a crack at the 7 day challenge with them
Can’t wait to see what you do with them!
Happy Sunday! 00:00 It’s Sunday… won’t do anything! 08:45 “Oh noes! just look at what my child put into the shopping cart while I wasn’t looking… oh nooooes!” – See, much easier when you have children. 14:30 Selling? SELLING? You Monster! 15:10 I have a PLN! 18:00 green, supergreen! 19:30 Oaaaaath… 21:45 Bluetack and superglue? XD 23:30 and here we see Gerry falling down yet another rabbid hole 26:00 What has Terry done now? What? Not Terry? Torries? Who’s that? 27:00 Pirate Jesus! 34:10 Hot Air?! 8) 36:20 Another hole…. putty putty putty 38:40 Moose bush? oO 42:00 speaking about… Read more »
Happy Sunday.
Yep, painting one or two minis at a time and you spend more time waiting for things to dry. Sometimes I setup a second cutting mat and while waiting for paint or glue to dry I start to clean up and assemble more miniatures or do terrain.
The 7 day challenge is an interesting idea. Meditate on this, I will…..
@avernos do you have open combat? Would that work for your pirate fun?
I have open combat, but I don’t have the add on Sword Masters that would gild it I think
Happy Sunday. Switching up paint projects is a must for me, to keep up productivity. Luckily I horde, so there is always something new or different for me to paint.
Can you paint 7 minis in 7 days?
Almost certainly not! But, you know, why not give it a go?
I mean, all I have to do is reduce what I consider to be “done” right? Which is probably the whole point of the challenge – stop stressing about all those minis that haven’t had the final edge highlight, or who haven’t had their decals applied, whack on a base and call them done!
Looking forward to seeing if you give it a go 🙂
@brennon I wish you well in your Tony Hart themed game. Mörph Borg you could call it.
Oh yes!
Happy Sunday and yes you are the go to guys when i am hobbying or doing the Ironing in the kitchen needs must.
Thanks for showing my project. Really chuffed. Good advice about milliput ill try that out.
Finally got around to watching this only find I’m outed for a small lean towards trains. I’ll just have to wind up Lloyd some more.
Speaking of 7 miniatures in 7 days, todays article on Warhammer community was on similar lines, although 15 weeks is a long time on single project:
