Apart from my venture into the outside world, what have I been up to today?
1) Sleeping - as I said, this bug has me absolutely whacked out.
2) Using up tissues at a rate of knots
3) Feeling grotty
4) A little bit of work at the paint table
Following a brief snooze after I got home from the shops, I decided to do something which wouldn't require a great deal of concentration. As I noted before, the Mongol cavalry had been primed white. However, almost all of the riders and just over half the horses have armour. The armour needs an undercoat of black as a base for the metallic paints.
Then, after a light lunch (I'm not feeling very hungry) I crashed out on the sofa for a couple of hours more. That helped a bit so I decided to try doing a little bit of work on the ACW cavalry. I have managed to carry on, despite feeling gradually more wiped out. I'm going to leave them for now and hope to do some more tomorrow. Progress has been slow as I've needed to take breaks more frequently than usual.
There isn't a great deal left to do on these before they are ready for basing - flesh, hair, belts and other leather equipment, canteens, metals, guidons and touch-ups. I might be able to get that done if I'm not feeling worse tomorrow than I do today.
Hope you feel better soon. Even sick you have been painting more than I have for the whole year.
ReplyDeleteNever mind chuck, you'll be better soon. Rum is a great cure-all. Taken in moderation it certainly eases things. If you accidentally overdo it you won't give a toss anyway! 😉
ReplyDeleteGet well soon! :) And enjoy your new acquisitions :D
ReplyDeleteDon't work too hard now. cheers
ReplyDeleteThats a lot of fun shiny in that box!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing your ACW Cavalry - your Yankee infantry came out beautifully
Sorry you're feeling poorly. Stock up on Jewish Penicillin (chicken noodle soup).
ReplyDeleteI got some new shinies in myself, so I feel your joy.
Don't push it Tamsin, you will get better sooner and get more done.
ReplyDeleteIf it makes you feel any better I am getting next to nothing done this week so no surprise point bombs from me
Ian
Quite the haul there, Tamsin - get some rest and recover fully so you can get to grips with the latest addition to your lead mountain!
ReplyDelete@ Chris S - thanks! :)
ReplyDelete@ Gary - no rum here, but plenty of Scotch :)
@ RMacedo - thanks and I will enjoy them :)
@ Brendon - well, my illness does help stop me pushing myself hard :)
@ Paul O'G - are any shinies not fun? The ACW cavalry are looking good and should be up on Saturday/Sunday :)
@ J Womack - shinies are always good. I do have chicken soup in :)
@ Ian - it would take quite a points bomb for you to catch up with me now. I'm not pushing things - the bug won't let me ;)
@ Evan - I am resting, but also doing a little bit to get the new shinies ready for painting :)
Rest when you can, paint when you're able.
