  • Successful painting effort

    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…

  • Painting, attempt 2

    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…

  • Paint Effort Fail

    So my first attempt ended dismally, with paint pretty much everywhere except the intended location.  I have since ordered and replaced the paint set (which is being handed down to my wife for craft projects).  In the meantime, I did manage to salvage what little video there was, though I have edited out the associated…

  • Watching Paint Dry

    I have been planning to get back into miniature painting again for some time, and even went to the effort of designing and configuring a new youtube channel.  However, it has taken until now for me to actually get started.  Hopefully by the time this posts, I will have an actually painted miniature, with a…

  • New consideration for the painting projects

    If you have been a follower of this site (not sure those exist), then you may have read a couple weeks ago that I was inspired to start painting miniatures again with my recent purchase of Zombicide: Black Plague.  I even went so far as to create a subject-specific YouTube channel to create and post…

  • The best laid plans…

    So I wasn’t nearly as productive as I had hoped over the last few days, between planning on painting figures for Zombicide: Black Plague, and various other goals.  We ended up getting distracted by Ark: Survival, as started to raise dragons (wyverns) on the Ragnarok world, on our private server.  Apparently, I am the only…

  • Watching Paint Dry

    As if I don’t have enough distractions, I am going to attempt to add yet another one, related to hobby and gaming efforts that have been shelved for quite some time.  A long time ago, I used to paint miniatures for roleplay and wargaming, a task I enjoyed but as life came along, could not…
