I'm a little far away to make it, but I'll be there in spirit!

Well, it's been a while.  Hope everyone is doing well.  I am missing my NEMPA peeps.  I know a saw a couple of you at RCon this year, but those who were unable to make it were sorely missed.

 

I've set up a paint day at the Citadel Game Cellar in Groton CT on the 21st of January from noon to 5pm.  I know that the store keeps getting asked when there was going to be another paint day, and I've been itching to get back to some regular meet-ups.  The goal is to get something going on a monthly basis; whether that is monthly at the Citadel or rotating through other places in the region depends on what people want.

 

Hopefully I have given people enough heads up for scheduling.  Looking forward to seeing those who can make it, but if you can't, no problem, I'll be attempting to schedule things of a more regular basis.  I hope the holidays treat you well and hope that this coming year is filled with joy and contentment for you all.

 I don't know what my scheduling is going to be like that far out, but I may be there, or at least stop in at some point...

We had a great paint day this past Saturday.  Of the regulars, I was the only one in attendance for various reasons, but we still ended up with a table of nine painters.  Most of use were from CT, but there was also attendees from NH and RI.  We might have had more, but it was wargaming day for the historical guys and they were running an ACW table nearby.  I have set up a re-occurring paint day at the Citadel on the 2nd Saturday of every month, as that is when Ken (one of the owners) said there should be a little more space (the shop was packed last Saturday). 

 

Of course, I am very much willing to go to other stores to paint as well, all some one has to do is schedule one and I will be glad to make the drive.

 Some of the pics don't seem to be showing up.

 

Looks like someone was banging out their old Grenadiers, though.

Yeah, of the pics I can see, there's a lot of old school lead there for the most part.

Next paint day is on the 11th at the Citadel.

Had a good paint day at the Citadel in Groton yesterday.  Largest turn out to date (14 painters).  Saw a mix of projects being worked on from busts, chibis, old Darksuns minis, Warhammer Fantasy, and Wizkids and Reaper minis.  Also there was a Middle Earth Fantasy Battle wargame round robin (6 armies) with some nice terrain, and a Battle Tech game going on.

Paint day is coming up on Saturday at the Citadel.  Rumor has it that a wild Morihalda may appear.

I was there in spirit, I got a few figures close to done yesterday. Hopefully, I can knock them out today.
