Nappen's Weekly Paint 2018

[Nappen]

Just a little bit of preshading was all I got done yesterday.

Started playing folklore: the affliction. Set up a card table in the corner of my office next to the bedroom where I can leave it and do a solo campaign.

[Nappen]

also thought I would show the before and after of my move with my rev titan.
Before I left Germany:

The sequence of finding the surprise that was my titan upon unpacking...

Oh...what could this wad of paper hold...

[Guildenstern]

Oh god!

I literally cringed IRL. Damn.

[Arnathos]

You are better off magnetizing it for transport, its what I did with my 2nd heldrake, makes moving it a lot easier. Since yours is in bits now anyway might as well put in the effort now so you don't have to deal with this again in 6-18months!

[Nappen]

It is looking more like 5-6 months.

Problem is that it was broken at non-joints too. I will try, but might not bother until after the next move...

Busy week, so have not gotten much done on the painting or terrain front.

[Nappen]

Not much done over the weekend. Hosted a drop in for the folks at work and then spent all day sunday taking down all the holiday decorations.

Did finally start up on my Venice board proper. Just have all the water to lay down left, but am having a hard time getting a seal and the water keeps running out. Just can't remember how I did it before. I think the issue is a lack of clamps, so I ordered one. (all of mine were in the missing boxes from the move)

[Munin]

Ugh, seeing what happened to your titan literally made my stomach churn. I'm so sorry.

[Nappen]

Thanks, it was a bit heartbreaking, but ah, well. Another project...

Was super busy this week and got nothing done. This weekend have been having a game of thrones marathon with the wife...with a little ash vs evil when I get a moment.

Going to build a temp work bench today out of a piece of spare plywood. Just enough so I have somewhere to assemble, paint and work on my terrain projects. My big table is sans legs and supports, so until the adjuster gets to my claim, I am not buying any replacement stuff. Besides, probably moving again in the Spring/Summer.

[Nappen]

So, my table is missing its supports and my work table is gone, so looking at the scraps and bits, I had a sheet of 3/8 plywood and some left over strips of 1X4 pine, so thought I would make a quick replacement table. So took an hour or so and threw together a table top with the tools I had on hand. all the tools I used are there on the table. I had not used my little battery powered trim saw in a long while, but it worked. Not going to do legs, will just use saw horses to keep it light since I will continue to move. Still have to sand and paint etc.



I then took the other 2X4 piece and it will be my work bench. I will just throw it on sawhorses or on my work cart when I need it, stick it in the corner when I don't.

[Nappen]

just did a test fit and the interior works for 4 X 6 playmat

Now to figure out how I want to paint, sand etc. I think I will break down and order a replacement Palm sander.

[Nappen]

decided to start working on my folklore models, while I work on my new table. Just doing the base box now, but started priming them. Decided to put away my war in Christmas village models until next year near the holidays. Gives me time to think about how I want to paint them and incorporate them into my DE army

[Nappen]

Priming done on the folklore models

[Nappen]

first coats on the Venetian buildings...long way to go on them

[Nappen]

Started making progress on my folklore models. Got the two gargoyles and the dire wolves done. Started working on the wraiths.

[Nappen]

finished the wraiths, now moving on to some skeleton warriors and tree monsters.
