Matbar Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Sorry to hear it, but on the plus side, sounds like you have a wise fiancee. Paint time it is! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasonator Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 (edited) Welp, it looks like I broke my foot. Thought it was just a sprain, was walking around on it yesterday (albeit with lots of pain). I would've laid down money it was a sprain! I've gotta keep it elevated for the next week, but my fiancee told me to find time to paint so I don't lose my mind (probably her self-preservation kicking in, heh). Sympathy like !!! After all the events you have gone through, maybe its your body saying that it is time to LET UP ! So a week at home, surrounded by miniatures waving and saying...Me... I'm Next..YooHooooo...MEMEMMEMEMEME. :) I am sure you will enjoy the down time ! Edited September 30, 2015 by Jasonator 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bathory Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Sympathy like, maybe you can prop up your foot and get some sort of lap tray to hold minis and paint? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CashWiley Posted October 1, 2015 Author Share Posted October 1, 2015 I've been known to superglue cuts before, anyway! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CashWiley Posted October 2, 2015 Author Share Posted October 2, 2015 Previously shown KD minis have been gap-filled. Pics tomorrow because I'm tired. I don't like the pain meds they gave me, make me feel all weird so I'll be sticking with naproxen, I think. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CashWiley Posted October 2, 2015 Author Share Posted October 2, 2015 Primed a bunch of stuff. Ran out of black so only zenithal primed a few. My den is still tore up from integrating a new desk so I need to see if I have another can of black primer stashed somewhere... The unprimed KDM stuff is prepped up and ready to prime, but I want to force myself to finish a few things, the shelf o shame is getting pretty full. So I'll paint the females once the males are done or I bash out the Imperial Assault bunch. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CashWiley Posted October 2, 2015 Author Share Posted October 2, 2015 That's what I get for trying to quick crop/resize in MS Paint instead of Lightroom! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CashWiley Posted October 3, 2015 Author Share Posted October 3, 2015 Managed to get the male survivors base coated. Nothing fancy here! Kudos to Scott Hockley for suggesting I use a 'cold grey cream color' for the cloth, he uses Tamiya Deck Tan, which I don't have. But looking over my (very small) paint collection, I pulled Reaper's Alien Flesh and it's an amaaazing color. So I also base coated the stones and thin guy's hair with it (I have to look up their names, I swear I've seen them somewhere). 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CashWiley Posted October 4, 2015 Author Share Posted October 4, 2015 And further Kudos to Mr. Hockley for reminding me of the names! Had a little time before family visits to get some paint on, just blocking in some shadows on Zachary. Trying to nail down the colors and shadow regions, super rough. Hard to get a pic when the light is where I'm painting it, heh. I went down to Muddy soil (very dark brown with some black in it) in the arm pit to test out my value range and how overall I want the piece to be. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jasonator Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 That is such a great depth of color... This is really going to be exciting watching you do this Cash ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonkeySloth Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Sucks to hear about the foot. Since you can't move around might as well run a solo game of Monster as it's really good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
