They have now arrived in Western Australia! Yay for the postal system exceeding my expectations.

Will it be possible for internationals to do a combined order - each week order the goodies they want but then it all gets shipped in one package at the end so we can hit free shipping? Or does that just make things too confusing?

They haven't arrived in Western Australia yet and probably won't until the end of this coming week at the earliest.

I'll be travelling for all of August so I'm not going to be able to finish anything this month. I've painted over and above what I needed to in the last couple of months to cover August.

I think my total should be 35 now:

I did the armor a bit differently to the weapons. The armor, shield and some accents on the weapons were painted bronze then washed with yet another games workshop paint ... Nihilakh Oxide ... to give a verdigris effect. Purely because I thought it would more interesting than having all the metal being rusty steel.

I couldn't see any eyes on him. Maybe he has sensors in his branches?

Thanks! For the rust I painted the blade in Vallejo Natural Steel. Then I washed it with Games Workshop's Typhus Corrosion (one of their special effects paints). You could also use Vallejo Smoke or a brown ink. Then I stipple over that with Games Workshop's Ryza Rust,another special effect paint. But any bright orange paint would do. Then I add a really light drybrush of the original metallic paint just so there's a few hints of that colour showing.

July's efforts: 4 x Bones Skeletons Stumpy the Familiar

While I was practicing wood recipes last month with my barrels and crates, I also started on this little guy, but didn't get him finished in time for last month's RP Challenge.

Finishing off the Shambling Dead bundle from Bones II [first 5 here]. I did these basically the same way and with the same intention - their graves had been damp and their equipment rusted and mildrewed

Ohhhhhh. I didn't realise it was short for something. I thought it was, well, y'know, a description of your mental state. Madeleine's a lovely name for a guy.

I don't know if I should take road safety advice from someone who's first name is Mad!

This is an awesome collection of information. Thank you, thank you, thank you! We never planned to drive in Seattle - trying to navigate an unfamiliar, busy city on the wrong side of the road is just asking for trouble! Crossing the street in America on foot is a big enough headache. Look left, then right. Left, right. I think?

We actually are going to Microsoft - a non-gaming friend works there and has offered to show us around - he might get fired if I start lobbing rocks and then I'd feel bad.
