Just realized I made a serious oops. I posted in the other exchange thread that I was done with that one, when it was this one that was done. I did double check though to make sure I sent to the right person. gwangi32, can you confirm you received a package?

 

Yup I recieved the mini. A very nice job!! Thank you very much! When I get the time I will post a picture.

 

I was out of town for a family emergency but I managed to mail my figure out as well.

I am running extremely late for me, I usually like to finish with plenty of time to spare. I think I might use the whole time however, but I should get it done this weekend and ship early next week. I hadn't realized how crazy the Fall is for me.

I've made some measurable painting progress, but it's slow going. I'd say this is due to color choices, but it's more specific than that. Let's call it KlockenfiddleTM. Those are the belts, buckles, pouches, bags and rolls that make Werner Klocke's minis both interesting to look at and maddening to paint. They are the fiddly bits that drive me to distraction, trying to balance color variety, contrast & differentiation VS. overworked and confusing. Still, it looks to be finishing up this weekend, shipping early next week.

 

I hear you on the KlockenfiddleTM, I've got me some of that too. The rest of it has been "Too tired after work to paint" disease. But I will make that final push to get things finished in time!

Yeah.

 

 

 

 

When we first started, I thought it was kind of silly to add the extra month.

 

"Who can't get a mini painted in 3 months?" I thought.

 

Now that we're coming down to the wire, I realize what a smart move it was. Got quite a bit done over the last week...should be able to make the deadline. /crossesfingers

Update from me: mini and base are almost done. Just a couple more details and a few areas to tweak & tune for contrast, then I can put mini and base together. After that are the inevitable touch-ups & base details, then sealant, pics and shipping. In other words, I should have it out the door by Tuesday or Wednesday at the latest.

demonelf-got your mini (sorry I haven't told you yet, it's been crazy) and he's wonderful! I'd say beautiful, but I don't think he'd appreciate it. I'm totally fine with the fact that he's got a Y chromosome, I just say 'I like girls' because it's SOME kind of guideline. I'd be just as happy saying "paint what makes you happy". Also, this way, he's enjoying being one of two men on a shelf of female minis ;) I have a shelf of honor for the minis I receive in exchanges and, since I always request girls, it's pretty much full of em! Thanks so much!
