So after watching Penny Meyer paint for a while I decided foolishly, "I can do that."  I walked out to the vendor hall and bought a flat.  This will be my first flat.  WIP to follow, likely with lots of cursing and fail. 

 

I also got a few Andrea historical pieces to try.  super nice quality.

My ReaperCon15 order finally got to my local PO today, will let ya'll know if I actually get it today.

Mine was sent by Reaper on May 4 and is supposed to arrive today.  There was no indication of tracking between Coppell, TX on May 6 and the local post office in MO.  Suddenly, it was there.  USPS having problems lately, maybe weather-related?  Usually packages from Reaper take three or four days.

I got my RCon box and I got some of those chocolate bars and some M&Ms.

Today's acquisitions (from the La Quinta, CA Hobby Lobby):

• Daler-Rowney Acrylic Purple Lake Ink
• Daler-Rowney Acrylic Flame Orange Ink
• Daler-Rowney Acrylic Emerald Green Ink
• VMC 70.865 Oily Steel
• VMC 70.856 Ochre Brown
• VMC 70.819 Iraqui Sand
• VMC 70.860 Medium Fleshtone
• VMC 70..844 Deep Sky Blue

The inks were $5.99 apiece, and the VMC paints were $2.99 each. I think I got a pretty good deal on the paints.

[FaekiasDracon]

$2.99 is Hobby Lobby's normal price on Vallejo paints around here. Though I am given to understand that everything is very expensive in Hawaii except pineapples and macadamia nuts.

Yeeeeah...no Hobby Lobbies or Michael'ses in Hawaii. I'm in La Quinta, CA right now...which is why I took the opportunity to shop at a real hobby store for a change.

And earlier this afternoon I paid for an auction I won for an old Warzone mini I was lacking (Jake Kramer from Capitol).

Meghan Trainor - All About That Bass

 

The chorus verses:

Because you know I'm all about that bass, 'Bout that bass, no treble

I'm all 'bout that bass, 'bout that bass, no treble

I'm all 'bout that bass, 'bout that bass, no treble

I'm all 'bout that bass, 'bout that bass

 

And the broccoli we refer to is for some of the miniatures who have this type of integrated base (no slot) from Reaper:

So I had placed an order with Reaper shortly after getting back from ReaperCon. It was mainly to get the t-shirt but also to get two minis and a bit I missed while I was there. So I got:

 

P60035B: Bow and Quiver $0.63 x1

14304: Logrim, Dwarf Captain $7.49 x1

14608: Gorak the Ravager, Barbarian $7.99 x1

01729: ReaperCon 2015 Shirt XXL $24.99 x1

 

Well, it came in today with a little surprise. I opened up the box and saw a bottle of white paint and wondered what it could be. Picked it up, read the label, and squealed like a little girl. It is Sophie Silver! Nice little surprise to have and now I do not need to worry about using my first bottle up.

Very cool, SG!
