I'm debating whether to add MrBoot to the Bingo card or not. On the one hand, lots of new people! On the other hand, I don't want to overwhelm him at his first ReaperCon. I want him to come back next year! ^_^

 

Huzzah!

I know exactly what you mean.  I’m trying to get the very friendly but shy @mossflayer to join up, but I’m afraid she’s at least one or two RCs away…

After a bit of excitement* today, I came into the garage, mainly to put some Contrast bottles I bought at the FLGS yesterday away & it's now 12:16 here & I've finished a few minis & applied colors on others.

 

I also did something which given my current situation for RCon a bit odd, but I primed a prepaint I wasn't completely satisfied with.

 

Funny, there was a part on the figure I just absolutely hated (soft lime green skirt with black "freehand" trim ) & this part was combo'ed with light grey-blue skintone. After applying some white Stylenrez prime, I was like "Wow, this looks 100% better already!". I ended up just filling on the rest with primer. ^_^

 

I think I will quit for the night. Get a jump on this early tomorrow!

 

*nothing serious, after work came home fell asleep for a couple hours. When I woke up my wife asked if I wanted  tag along for the rock festival. After that, we  went to the store then came home.

 

Afterwards,  my wife & I assembled a bed frame I ordered off big A. It arrived a couple days early. Design eliminates the box spring. To assemble, first we had to get rid of the 2 twins that were our boxsrpring (we have a Cali king) & the 9 cinder blocks that were the "frame".

 

Couple this all with close to 100 degrees temperature (really after 90 does it matter what it says?).

Gah! That's still plenty of time, but also not enough time.

 

Yeah, I am calling this year a rebuilding year. Only things I have painted were table top quality for my son. Way too out of practice. Hate to get paper or bronze when I know I can do better. Just need some practice which I will not have time for this summer. The con usually provides a motivation boost that I will need to use for next year.

Productive evening!! I was able to bang out a bunch of the same "but different" sculpts, along with a couple that I've had on the table or near it since I started last month. Nothing difficult, just didn't want to finish them.

 

Hopefully tomorrow I can repeat the process.

Actually got some progress done on an entry.  Funnily enough it wasn't any of the ones I had already planned.  Was looking through some drawers and found some Bombshell figs that I bought at last years Con and figured they would be fun to paint at Paint Day.  So they are now 80% done.  Now to decide if I really want to scratch build a piece of machinery for the diorama or not.

Told myself that I was going to use this vacation to work & print off the pregens for my Con games. 1 set down (the lowest level at 2nd) thou one of those characters advances to the 8th level game. I decided that the 8th level game will consist of the previous pregens, just leveled up.

 

I see Heroic Maps is having a bday sale (60% off everything) I better get in on that, as there are few areas I need maps & I love their style.

 

Minis/terrain bits, I think are around less then 20 maybe. Pretty damn good considering where I was at this time last month. I needed to take a break today, as my feet were starting to bother me from sitting too long the last couple days.

 

7-11 EDIT: After tonight's session, I stand corrected, I have 37. not 20 pieces left to paint up.
