There is also a very high humidity, at least here on the west coast of Europe. Let’s hope it clears up on its own.

Oh noes!

In similar news: it’s 23°C and cloudy. Perfect weather for coating with varnish. Or so I thought. Now the Zaku is frosted.

AAAAAAAAAAAARGH!

Well, last time I had a mini frost the effect went almost completely away on it’s own. Here’s hoping.

I was doing the first layer of shading for the Gundam Assemble Zaku Painting Showcase and then this happened. The glue bond of the pose modification I made gave up.

I still got most of the shading done though.

I’m lucky enough to have a space that allows for two glass display cabinets.  One of my favourite things to do it to give them “a good coat of looking at”.  I don’t find their potential value to be burdensome.  I will doubtless have to downsize at some point in the next 20 years but that is an issue for future me.

Does anyone else find it a PITA to look over display cases and see a pricetag worthy of heirloom items?

Not me gov’ner!

Because:

You need space to put up display cases. And I don’t have that. So I don’t look at them. I need efficient storage. But that’s just me XD

I think that a divide for painting also comes…[Read more]

In my supers rpg there is something going to happen at Halloween, I’m just not sure what yet.

It may involve a scratch build nightclub combat scene. I’m headed to the range later to look for some ‘halloween tat’ that might work as ‘set decoration’ for the situation.

Don’t hold your breath on this as I have not attempted scratch build terrain before.

I say we do that in October and then come back with a painting competition in November.

I second that vote

I’m in too. I’ll have a look in my pile of potential this weekend when I’m back from two weeks in Sicily.
