May 2015 Progress Report

With all the hobby and gaming stuff arriving lately I've been trying to find ways to keep myself motivated. The mountain of 'stuff to do' keeps growing at a rate faster than I can manage. Keeping that in mind I started keeping track of the stuff I am accomplishing each month. A lot like working out, writing down what you did can help one maintain focus as you move forward.

May Progress Report

 - Painted Martian Dreadball team (this included building 2 custom players out of the Mars Attacks wounded markers)
- Built two packs of gas lamp posts for Batman Miniature Game
- Stripped and began repainting base game figures for Guardians Chronicles
- Stripped and fully repainted Heroclix Vindicator (Heather Hudson)
- Painted "strumpet" figure from Reaper Bones line
- Built Commissioner Gordon GCPD starter (4 figures)
- Built Corrupt Cops GCPD starter (4 figures)
- Fixed massively busted UNA Fire Toad for AT-43
- Built second token pack for Batman Miniature Game (including two custom Riddle tokens)
- Built booster figures for Batman Miniature Game (Alfred, Batwoman, Police Booster 1, Police Booster 2, Copperhead)
- Base and prep cowboys from Reaper Bones line (2 figures)

So as you can see there has been a lot going on behind the scenes here. A lot of these items haven't been shown on the blog but they will appear when they're fully painted and their bases fully finished. It's still helpful for me to note it all down however, as it's all progress in my eyes. With the huge flurry of model construction coming to a close I'm looking forward to sharing more painted figures soon!

Haha hence why I'm trying to keep it from feeling like work.

Occasionally I do post some WIP images, but not often. I'd rather spend the time building and painting than take photos of them. It often takes me a week or longer just to post about stuff I've finished! :)

Marvel Universe Miniatures Game - Avengers Painted

Shortly before the Marvel Universe Miniatures Game was released by Knight Models I picked up several single pack figures at a slight discount. The game dropped shortly after, but has so far seemed difficult to acquire in Canada. I'm hoping once I get out an do a few demos it will pick up locally like the Batman game has started to do. This is the original model for Black Widow, which I prefer greatly over the highly sexualized one that comes in the Avengers starter box. Don't get me wrong, she's a sexy character but I think the new sculpt is a little over the top. She was the first Marvel figure I painted. It a pretty easy paint job and I think she turned out well. This figure proved more difficult to paint than I expected. It's a great looking pose, but I wish the details on the shield were a little deeper. I'm not the greatest when it comes to steady detail work, so found doing the stripes on the shield highly frustrating. A wash or two would usually b...

Farewell Ozzy!

This afternoon I found out that the Prince of Darkness, Ozzy Osbourne, has passed away. Although I've been a fan since my early teens, I am surprised at how strong my reaction to the news has been. I had missed out on catching the Black Sabbath farewell show a few weeks back during live stream, so I've not yet seen it. A friend of mine told me about a few days after, and I'm looking forward to watching it when it becomes available. I've had the good fortune of seeing Ozzy perform twice; once at an outdoor stadium show with Zakk Wylde on guitar, and once with Black Sabbath several years later. I remember more about the experience of those shows than the specific details, and could not tell you set lists or anything like that. His impact on music and pop culture, both as a member of Black Sabbath and a solo artist simply cannot be understated. As impactful and important as that is, it also hits me that his children have lost their father, which happened to me at the end o...

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in 28mm

I have to start off by saying that this might be the nerdiest post I've written to date, and that's sayin' something! The amount of fun I've had working on these, and thinking about what kind of games or scenarios I could play with them has been pretty ridiculous. I'll admit that I fully intended to have these completed before end of the year...that obviously didn't happen. There are a few options out there for figures, but they are either the wrong scale, too damned expensive of just don't capture the feel I was looking for; and then I found this! The TMNT Foot Clan Street Fight  board game was on sale for $12. After I liberated the figures out of the copy I bought, I made some cardboard standees so that I could still play the game with my nephews. It was a big hit during our Christmas holiday too! Now about those figures...on the down side the plastic is pretty soft. The paint work is passable for a mass produced product, but (accurate to the cur...
