So I am rather behind in my podcasts and videos, thanks to various distractions and procrastination. In particular, I am now 2 episodes of Rise of the Runelords, and after this weekend, 2 episodes of Hero System behind. Unfortunately, in my struggle to keep the files straight, I erased one of the episodes of RotRL before I had saved the files off of the memory card – thus the first episode of Chapter 4 is now lost. However, in the silver lining category, this does mean I am only 3 episodes behind now…

The finished miniature of the survivor Clovis, from the Zombicide: Black Plague game. This is painted using the tutorial and guide available at The Army Painter website, for the basic Black Plague gallery. Although I am using Army Painter War Paints, they are the general series, and not the Zombicide specific line, so some color substitutions were made. And obviously I am not a professional, so my quality isn’t quite up to the standards in some of their pictures. For my first model in nearly 20+ years, I don’t think it is all that bad, and I am rather pleased…

Though I am not yet finished, I had a rather successful second attempt at painting a miniature. This time, the paint did not explode all over me. I did determine that my eyesight isn’t quite a good as it used to be – the fine details are rather difficult to see these days – but not enough that I wasn’t able to complete most of the task. I was able to do the base coat, and apply the washes, but then had to let the figure dry over night before I work on the dry-brushing this evening. Overally, I am…

Although I have very little familiarity with the product, my wife is very much interested in a complete set of Copic markers, for her artwork and crafting. The only problem is the very large investment – individual markers run at the $7 or $8 range, with 300 or 400 different colors (not really sure how big the collection is). Although we can order them thru Amazon, at a decent discount, it is still a large amount of money in a single purchase (about $350 for one of several sets). Thus the current plan and theory – purchase them individually thru…

After the disaster from a couple weeks ago, in which I managed to destroy a t-shirt and pair of work pants, I am going to try a second attempt this week. New paints, new approach, same basic plan. Fingers crossed that everything goes according to plan. If successful, I should have at least a few before and after pictures to post, and possibly even an in-progress painting video.

As I posted before, I have been dealing with foot issues, and have been allowing myself to get distracted with video games. As such, my content for this week has been minimal, and I am now way behind on the video and audio editing for the podcasts. My foot issues are gone, which is good, but I have been staying up far too late. However, I have finally figured out how to play Total War, and have managed to dominate in the game (not really a big accomplishment, since I am on the easiest setting across the board). After this…

Missed my regularly scheduled post, thanks to a series of distractions. Most notably was playing Total War: Warhammer with my son, but I am also dealing with the tail end of a sinus infection, and the gout in my foot seems to have returned. Overall, a rough day, though I should be thankful that at least work is currently semi-quiet.

Those who know me know that my ability to deal with car maintenance is limited to oil and washer fluid, or adding air to tires. My son however seems to have a knack for it though, as he quickly and easily replaced the tire on the back of the car. Perhaps this might be a career option?
