Painting production has been severely disrupted this last week and Amanda decided we needed to do a big room-swaperoo... I'm STILL figuring out storage solutions for all the "ON DECK" items (stuff I want to work on, but am not CURRENTLY working on)... but the painting station is set up and I can get back to work... sort of...
New painting station.
There isn't THAT much that's new about it... it's just in a different location in the house...
It's been particularly hard because that Great Unclean One was SO CLOSE to being done... and the disruption has stalled progress on it. Sure, I still have WEEKS until Tanksgiving, it's not like I wasn't going to get it done on time... but when I'm working on something and motivated to work on it and in that "flow state" it is particularly jarring to have to STOP.
One good thing about the disruption is it forced me to clean up a bit and put things in boxes. I love the idea of reducing clutter and only having ONE (or maybe two) projects out on the table at a time - to help keep FOCUSED... we shall see...
I haven't been ENTIRELY idle...
I did make this map for the Path to Glory campaign Amanda and I are playing.
My drawing and watercolour skills are a bit rusty, so it didn't turn out quite how I had envisioned it in my minds eye... but I'm not redrawing it for what will likely be a very short-lived campaign.
You can read more about the campaign on the campaign page:
Path to Glory - Methervale Campaign
Finally... to celebrate the new painting station, I picked up a few things to assemble and paint on it... (because i didn't already have enough things?!)
I got myself some faction terrain (for the Nurgle Army) and some Gossamid Archers for Amanda's Sylvaneth army as that will bring the force to almost (or, exactly?) 1000 points...? Also, while I was at the Warhammer Store, they still had the free miniature-of-the-month, so I grabbed one of them as well!

Rusty skills? Your map is ACE!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jonathan.
DeleteCool hand-drawn and hand-painted map! Always fun to see that sort of mapcraft.
ReplyDeleteNice shiny new painting, too! Yeah, a move like that does help one clean/clear things up, even if it doesn't stay that way for long.
As for painting stations, recently I was having trouble getting some super glue to come out of a bottle, so I didn't realize that it had actually starting flowing quite freely until I discovered a big dollop on the carpet beneath my painting desk, by way of sticking my slippered foot in it. :P (it's ratty old carpeting that should be replaced, but accidents like that make me think maybe I should hold off)
Oh dear!! Yeah, I have ruined more than a few floors in rooms where painting stations have been located... hence the fancy new floor protector matt below THIS station. Sometimes an old dog CAN learn new tricks!!
