3 Days til the end of waiting.

 

I have today off, and thank the Lord I do.  I still have to finish and attach the wyvern to the base.  Then I need to make sculpting blanks for one of my classes, test my PP presentation on my little computer, get a haircut, clean out the car, and pack.

 

Kris and I hit the road first thing tomorrow morning.

We are finally done!!!!

 

Well, as done as we are going to be :blush:

 

Dan is doing a 30 hour drive to ReaperCon (Brad and I are flying).  Yesterday, we thought we would only be a couple of hours to get things double checked and packed for Dan's trip.  10 hours later, we had everything to a place where we are happy.  Over the years, Reaper and the friends we have made at ReaperCon have treated us well.  We really wanted to make sure that we had fun games that looked good too.  I hope you enjoy them and, even if you don't, we are not above bribing you with candy. :devil:

 

Below are a couple of pictures of one of the 4 shuttles we made for Cinema Tactics:Hostile Takeover.  You will use these in the game to get back and forth between the 2, 4'x2' ships we made for this game.  Being prototypes, we plan on taking what we have learned from making these ships to create a more polished kit for after the con.  Right now, 2 squads can fit into one ship and the doors open on both sides.

Drive safe. I'm heading out early Wednesday morning. I still have a metric ton of stuff to get done before then, since I slacked most of the weekend.

2.5 work days left!!   WOO HOO!!  

 

I keep looking at the figures that I actually put paint on over the last year and considering what I should bring with me......   Over the last year, I think I did more serious sculpting than painting...  My two figures that I was painting with the intent to push my painting skills didn't get finished in time to enter them into competition..  Ahh well, there is next year.  I do have some stuff that I sculpted that I may bring to enter into the open category, which would be interesting....  maybe....  And all the other stuff I did paint was more tabletop, almost speed paint, type paint jobs.  maybe I should consider shifting gears a bit and look into tips and tricks for speed painting.  Can't hurt I suppose.

 

Almost all my classes this year are geared towards sculpting.

 

Thurs 4 - 6 pm: How Not to Suck: Sculpting Edition with Andy Pieper

I need to find me a class or 2 for Friday now.  We got the wife a new car on Saturday so I will have the old Saturn handy and can come out to the con whenever on Friday.  Crossing fingers there is at least 1 class for me to take later in the day.  I have 2 basing classes already which should be enough to get me going with that and give the daughter some direction since she has been bothering me daily almost about basing her minis.  Never tell a 5 year old you are doing something she may have interest in until you have done it. :)  This is the same reason she has no clue I will take her up there on Sunday for the auction.

3 days! So excited. Working half-days today and tomorrow, where I'll then go straight home to paint (and pack at some point). Friday & Saturday was pretty miserable where I was laid out with a sore throat & allergies but I was able to paint pretty much all day Sunday. Huzzah! There's still hope...

Wyvern is Done!!!!  I just need to figure out how to safely transport it.

 

Just filled the car and got a haircut.  Next is some final class prep for a couple hours, then clean the car, and pack.  I expect to be fully ready to leave well before bed tonight.

 

I'm getting the excited jitters in my gut now.

Transporting it by car is far easier and safer than TSA, involved searches, and baggage handlers.
