Dont-Be-Haten Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 First of all, Huzzah for 8k comments! DBH rounding us up!! :PBut seriously thanks guys. It is going to be tough, but once I get settled into a routine hopefully I'll become more active again. Lord knows, I have a possible metric ton of plastic to build/paint/fight gloriously with lol.

Panzer Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 (edited) Real life before hobby time. That being said I feel with you. I'm currently working 10+ hours every day of the week plus having other social responsibilities so hobby time is extremely limited currently and probably for the next year as well. My only luck is that my work involves me being on a pc with Internet in a small company so I can at least spam the forums. ^^ Edited May 19, 2018 by sfPanzer Dont-Be-Haten and Venerable Jazzman 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paladin777 Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 (edited) I get it. My wife is home for Hodgkin’s lymphoma chemo and I pretty much am her social life right now so I don’t get to as much painting or hobbying in general right now. I might be able to get vow one done by the end of next week though. Edited May 20, 2018 by Paladin777 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riot Earp Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 (edited) @paladin777 sorry to hear that your wife is sick.

My only luck is that my work involves me being on a pc with Internet in a small company so I can at least spam the forums. ^^  Kinda the same, working at a pharmacy 10 hours per day with the other pharmacist being home with her baby. My pace is building one model per week, and I wont even mention painting.   I get it. My wife is home for Hodgkin’s lymphoma chemo and I pretty much am her social life right now so I don’t get to as much painting or hobbying in general right now. I might be able to get vow one done by the end of next week though.  My uncle went throught that, and I can tell, even tho chemo is a mess, he had a full recovery. It requires some monitoring now and then, but otherwise he's ok! So best of luck to you, I think you'll do just fine.   On a lighter note, I just picked up the Antor Delassio model from Overkill on a 50% sale. Dunno what I'm gonna do with it yet, I just like the model. He'll probably end up a lieutenant. A nice position for a veteran who returned from his watch. I've read in older posts that veterans who return from their deathwatch service can keep their deathwatch shoulder pad as an honor, so thats nice cause I dont want to do any conversions on him. Maybe only remove the pipe he stands on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venerable Jazzman Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 Although painting conditions over the weekend fell into the "difficult" category (high temp, low humidity & lots of beer), progress was made. (click for bigger pics) Â Primed with Halfords Satin Black rattle-can. Base coat of Tin Bitz, Red Gore, Dheneb Stone for white/bone pieces. Â Â Â Base coat of Boltgun metal, power weapons are metallic blue then watered-down dark blue glass paint. Burnished Gold over the Tin Bitz. Skull White, needs knocked back a bit for contrast. Â Â Bases are EC, to tie in with my CSM - Screamer Pink base. They'll be chipped and washed, probably some rust on there as well, and on the track links you can't really see.

Â Â Â Haha ...I've switched to Bourbon, it gives the perfect buzz for painting, and also playing. There's always a point of diminishing returns but hey at that point who cares.

Indefragable Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 If you drink water while painting, be sure it’s in a noticeably different vessel than your painting water and requires a different hand to access :) Majkhel, Venerable Jazzman and Panzer 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainHelion Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 My recommendation regarding paint water is to have your paint water in a container you would never pick up to drink from. Something square, maybe, so if you grab it, there's a sensation to interrupt the automatic drinking response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FormelyKnownAsSmashyPants Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 I know it doesn't help with coffee, but for beer, water coke etc only drinking from a bottle or can is an idea that way you won't get cups/mugs mixed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something square, maybe, so if you grab it, there's a sensation to interrupt the automatic drinking response. Exactly. Switched to a ramekin a while ago and haven’t had any mistakes since. Although it did prompt a general discussion about repurposing kitchen equipment.  FYI Cake racks are also great for drying plaster casts. They aren’t great for drying cakes afterwards though.

CaptainHelion Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 The container I use is an old dice box. It's too small to be any of my drinking vessels (it's about 2"x2"x5") AND it's a rectangular shape, so the square edges are obvious when my hand goes near it.

dread05 Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 I use and old small vase that has be stained red from the paint, so no chance to drink that. Dipping the brush in coffee tho, thats another story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dread05 Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 (edited) To celebrate achieving my first goal of my diet (from 102 kilos to 90, second goal is 85) I ordered 3 more space hulk terminators today. When they arrive I'll have a 5 man squad, Sergeant Lorenzo, Brother Zael, Brather Deino, Brother Noctis and Brother Valencio.

Can we add additional vows later once we've completed #1, or does everything need to be declared beforehand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
