LunchBox Posted August 17, 2007 Author Share Posted August 17, 2007 Well idk about cutting I might cut myself, but I can help with the painting! :P I just did my bathroom afterall which was to much scraping a redry walling for my tastes! :D I gotcha beat, bub...this summer...my "teacher's summer off" included tearing out all 3 bedrooms of carpet and base moulding, chiseling out the tack strips, laying 2 pallets of bamboo flooring in those rooms, replacing all the trim with stick-built base (not the pre-fab 'buy-it-and-nail-it' stuff), filling, caulking, and painting it all...painting the 2 larger bedroom walls with 2 coats of primer, and 4 coats on the walls (because the color change was so drastic), hand cutting in all the edging instead of using an edging tool, painting the ceiling in our bedroom after installing a new ceiling fan, sanding, painting, and faux finishing 2 doors and their trim as well as all the trim in that room, tearing out ceramic tile in a bathroom and the entry way, replacing all the electrical outlets and cover plates, and retrimming the rest of the house...again with stick-built base moulding. That's just IN the house...shall I detail for you the fencing, barn and pasture work I've been doing between training 3 horses, and giving riding lessons? Come to think of it...when the hell DO I get a chance to paint...I'm going to the liquor store this afternoon... :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Chaplain Astador Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 Ok so you got me beat, even when I finish the kitchen you still have me beat! Good you deserve a nice cold beer today for all your hard work. Hell if it gets you painting buy a couple of 6 packs and kick back! haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LunchBox Posted August 29, 2007 Author Share Posted August 29, 2007 Since I'm home for the next week, I guess I have time to get more done. *For those of you who don't know, I went to the ER late Sunday night, and went into surgery Monday morning. Stupid appendix... Anyway, here's some progress so far. I really took my time on the NMM for the sword...I spent about 3 hours on it today. <edit> I spent 3 hours on the blade...the handle was a different story, as I changed my gold NMM recipe to play with it a bit. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v492/lunchboxmtbr/starkswip.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v492/lunchboxmtbr/starkssword.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of that month is a blur. I forgive you, fuzzy bunny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LunchBox Posted August 30, 2007 Author Share Posted August 30, 2007 I finished Captain Starks today. I have to figure out how to speed this up a bit...the backpack took over 6 hours. I changed my gold NMM up a bit, and played with the NMM steel recipe too. I custom mixed 2 more shades of gray, and glazed all the highlights. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v492/lunchboxmtbr/CaptainStarks.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking good lunchbox. I need come by for painting lessons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LunchBox Posted August 30, 2007 Author Share Posted August 30, 2007 Thanks, Bitz...hey, have you gotten a surprize from GW yet? The day I got home from the hospital, there was a package with the 1st place painted army plaque, 3 boxes of Harliquins, a Shadowseer, and a Death Jester. It made me feel better...or it coulda been the morphine... Neph, the only problem with that is that it takes me too damn long to get anything done! I spent the same amount of time on that stupid pack that Wappellious spends painting a single mini. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berzerker Pezz Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 The only type of NMM i can pull off convincingly is SENMM :o I am jealous. I don't think Khorne is very SENMM, so now I have to study your schtuff and try to copy >.< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wappellious Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 Hey, this guy looks really fantastic! Congrats on another amazing paintjob! :) I think one of the reasons I got to painting faster was all the people who wanted to see thier painted minis yesterday.. or last week, or last month.... :rolleyes: All the extra care and time you spent on that backpack really shows, and I'm sure it is even more stunning when you see it for real!
