MissMelons Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 I thought that if a little bit of blood didn't end up in your work then you're doing it wrong. ...that and maybe a few tears. If you're an ugly-crier like me, add a dash of snot. Definitely!!! Tears and snot make wonderful medium. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heisler Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 (edited) My opinion, combined with a bit of experience, is to go ahead and assemble everything at home and risk the transport. Once you are at the con you are likely to find your time to finish something evaporating quite quickly. Best to do it at home, let it set overnight and come back and take one last look at it the next day. Of course I do expect to receive some entries coming in towards the 5pm deadline on Friday to still have some wet paint on them! You will also do better if you have sacrificed something to the model, usually blood. Minis always do better when you have bled on them. Injuries caused by but not limited to; slicing your finger open while opening the blister with a sharp knife (be sure to drop some of the blood on the mini), or slicing your finger open during prep with any or all of the range of tools on your workbench (knife, file, drill bit, etc, again be sure to drop some of the blood on the mini), or super gluing your finger to the mini and leaving skin behind (not as good as blood though). Does it count if I bled into the GS while sculpting the original model, even though it has now been cast? If so, I'm set. Yes, but only if blood wound up mixed into the putty. Wow, this thread has taken a grim turn. I think that's to many generations removed to count. Now if you were painting the green itself then that would definitely count, probably double.

Marineal Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Also, if your hand isn't covered in paint to the point that strangers remark on it, you're doing it wrong. Running errands in between dry times produces strange stains on hands. 😉 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator OneBoot Posted April 15, 2015 Moderator Share Posted April 15, 2015 Rofl!!!

Moderator Chaoswolf Posted April 15, 2015 Moderator Share Posted April 15, 2015 That's hilarious. Much better that they called you instead of just making the assumption and changing it, though. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MissMelons Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 I would have made Melon's Minions stamps but Raging Heroes and other things produced limited funds. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ub3r_n3rd Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 So last night, I started on my ReaperCon diorama... I'll post up a WIP thread that hopefully will keep me motivated to use every available minute to me to get it done on time. Pretty excited about the idea in my head, we'll have to see if it can come to fruition. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
