MiniCannuck Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Getting more organized. I got most my CDN treats bought today and we are on track with having all the games ready. The only think missing is if I will have time to get an entry ready for the painting competition. If not, I will just have to drool over all the amazing figures other people enter and live vicariously through them 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humansquish 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. I need to do the same. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reaperbryan Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 I'm about to start my next conversion, which like the others will likely get 80% finished and then languish. But I'm starting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dai-Mongar Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Kiwiana treats have been acquired (chocolate fish, Pineapple Lumps, Jaffas, Tim Tams, feijoa candy, kiwifruit candy, Eskimos and malt biscuits for lolly cake). Picked up all the tickets and vouchers for the trip the other day, too. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator TaleSpinner Posted April 16, 2015 Author Moderator Share Posted April 16, 2015 14 days, we're at the official 2-week mark, better get cracking (I'm looking at you ChaosWolf) Made great progress on the Wyvern yesterday. At this rate, I may actually have an entry this year. Sculpting continues. Rain is forecasted for this weekend here, so I may not be able to get into my garden and will be able to spend Sunday working on RCon stuff. about not getting into the garden, for getting more time to paint/sculpt. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loim Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 I won't pack my painting gear until probably Monday on the week of the Con. I'm trying to figure out if there is anything I need to bring other than the free basing mats (don't want to anger MM) and Doc's goodie bag. I'm tempted to bring my acrylic inks to give peoples a chance to play around with them, but I don't know how well they would travel honestly. I'm on call this weekend, so I can't really plan anything. As of now I intend to spend the weekend chain watching Daredevil, painting, and baking up some sculpey sheets to bring to the Convention so I can act like I'm as cool as James Wappel. I also owe Cutebutpsycho some bases, and she terrifies me so I have to get that done. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klarg1 Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 I am hoping not to have to pack until the weeekend before the con, but with water damage repairs commencing on my house, I might have to pack a bunch of stuff away to make room. If it affects the paint station, I will have to pack early, and curtail some of my last-minute painting effort. I'm thinking I might take this Friday off to complete my 'painters' entry, so I will at least have that ready to go. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator OneBoot Posted April 16, 2015 Moderator Share Posted April 16, 2015 I had a dream last night that I was at ReaperCon, watching and participating in the opening ceremony, which resembled all the anime cons I've been to. After that, I was wandering around looking for something to do, when I saw stacks of ham sandwich boxed lunches and I remembered "Oh my gosh! I'm at ReaperCon! And I missed my first class, and Kuro's blending class started 15 minutes ago and I haven't even been to the registration desk yet! AAAAAAAHHHH!" Which led to me running around like a mad chicken trying to get all registered and stuff, and I made it to the class an hour late, just in time to wake up in a cold sweat. ...It's too early to be having ReaperCon nightmares. Huzzah! --OneBoot :D 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator TaleSpinner Posted April 16, 2015 Author Moderator Share Posted April 16, 2015 I just spent an hour glazing the wyvern's wings.* First, I glazed the wings, then I added another glaze layer and color in the shadows, then another. Just for a change, I added several more glaze layers. By this time, I was really sick of glazing, so I added three more glaze layers. Finally, I mixed up a nice complimentary color and added three more glaze layers. * Shameless plug time: Don't know what a glaze is or how to do it? Take the Basic Painting Techniques painting class where I will show you my patented glazing technique** which you can then use to amaze your friends and make yourself crosseyed.*** ** Not really patented nor original for that matter. *** Will not cause permanent eye damage. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huzzah! --OneBoot :D You might want to lower your expectations for any "opening ceremonies". I my experience, it usually just boils down to the registration staff announcing that they're ready to start handing out badges. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mocha Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Yuss! Progress-- just picked up my package of Micro Art bases that the local post office was holding hostage. Here's hoping that they fit well with my minis I'm hoping to finish for the competition. Oh, and I'm moving to a new city tomorrow BUT THERE'S STILL TIME! 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reaperbryan Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 I had a dream last night that I was at ReaperCon, watching and participating in the opening ceremony, We have opening ceremonies? My memories of 11 previous ReaperCons is that we open when I announce that my computer (with the reg desk details) is finally working again...
