Back from Canberra

Ive arrived back from Canberra in one piece and after playing cricket yesterday in the D grade grand final (which we lost, the game was called off due to rain halfway through our batting innings and due to our run rate, we lost.) I am a little sore after copping a ball that was hit at a great rate of knots in the forearm, lots of swelling and bruising... lol good times.

I am on night shift for the next 2 weeks and hoping to get a little painting done. Ill post an update once I start putting brush to plastic.

Plastic overload!

I had a productive weekend cleaning up the multitude of miniatures that arrived last week and started assembling some of them. The problem that I have is that a lot of miniatures are obscured once fully assembled, arms across chests and other such nonsense.

Ive assembled as much as I can without obscuring anything. However it is going to be difficult to paint the other parts as is. A lot of the parts are very small. Im going to have to look at engineering a fix to allow me to hold the various parts to enable easy painting. Going to look at that tonight. Ill post some pictures tomorrow of the work so far.

Finally Arrived

With all the weather around, my order got delayed in transit. But it finally arrived today!

Here are some pics of the order during the unboxing. Im going to start cleaning up the minis and assembling tomorrow...

 

The Empire Boxed set is huge. Its going to take a bit of time to go through and sort everything out. Should be fun...
