Moderator OneBoot Posted July 6, 2019 Moderator Share Posted July 6, 2019 (edited) Well. It, uh... now appears that we're going to be moving in a month. This is a very good thing (we've been wanting to rent a house for awhile, and an opportunity came up much sooner than expected); however, this will drive a whole team of carthorses through my painting plans. I'm going to have prioritize getting my class materials and examples done first; everything else is gonna have to be gravy. This means that my Space Kraken is not likely to make it this year either. EDIT: I should clarify, I'm still absolutely coming! I just won't be able to work on an epic contest piece or 3 like I'd been planning on. The Kraken was going to be my piece last year, but time ran out on me. It looks like it'll have to wait another year....

I have so many project ideas for ReaperCon that I have to plan in which order I will *not* do any them until it's too late. So I'll probably show up with nothing. 8 weeks until RCon! I... Should probably get my flights booked... On 7/6/2019 at 4:41 PM, Dilvish the Deliverer said: I still haven't started. Same... Uh...

Seriously, though, I've been thinking I should scope out flights as well. And hubby got as far as priming something he was thinking of bringing. Just too much stuff going on right now, family vacation to Victoria is next week so that requires preparation more urgently! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Sundseth Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 NB: This is about the amount of time before the con that flights are usually cheapest. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still working on my magic formula for finishing anything. And since cleaning mold lines and priming are necessary steps toward finishing a figure, they constitute starting. For that matter, you have to buy the figure before you can finish it, so .... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buglips*the*goblin Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 I have 2 of 4 done and should have the other 2 done by next week. I'm supposed to be the lazy one, you're all making me look bad! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've even opened the blister! That's halfway there! The first step is buying it, the second is opening it, the third is painting it, and then... hmm I guess there's only three steps. So... TWO-THIRDS done! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately Monday morning is STUPID early. Which means leaving the hotel at a truly ungodly hour. 6am flight out of Love Field. Maybe I just won't go to sleep on Sunday night... 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there's enough of us to start a red-eye express painting event. Sunday after hours, don't really go to bed, luggage is packed and waiting. Paint one of your new miniature acquisitions in the hotel lobby with whatever you have. Fatigue, groaning and soreness is expected. Cursing the airlines for such early flights is encouraged.
