Weekly update 2

 So not a bad week per se but not enough completed items to show off.

Painting 

I continued to work on my Pulp buildings, with most of them at the finished stage for painting. Next will be work on the windows, 'glass', and signs. Also need to apply some texture to the roofs with Vallejo black lava asphalt.

Of course there are the various villain figures that I did [see painting blog] I have also started to 'refresh' some older paint jobs as I encounter them. This past week I had pulled out some Egyptian themed figures to check out what I was doing for desert bases. Well, the bases were fine, but the figures looked too rushed, and that is because they were. When we were playing the Tomb of the Serpent campaign, I often did the bare minimum paint job in order to get the figures on the table. Also I used a lot of muted colours. So now I am going back with more vibrant colours, and fixing up the paint jobs. It is not going to be my typical pull everything off the storage shelves, then slowly move through the figures as they occupy my painting table for months. Instead it will be a slow piecemeal approach, repairing them as I encounter them.

 

I have 9 Cylons on the painting table right now that should be done this week. 

Arrivals

Most of my Russian stuff has arrived, and the building of said items continues. Maybe 10 tanks to be built and primed and some more buildings. 

Bought a MARVEL Crisis Protocol scenery item, a three story building. It has nice detail, and lots of options, but not so many that it will trap me in analysis paralysis. Despite being made for 30-33mm superhero figures it does look to scale up well with existing building. It will need some modifications/additions if I want to be able to use every floor, and I will need to adjust the fire escapes as they are a little tight. I am not familiar with the game, but I would have thought fighting on fire escape might be a thing, but not so easily done on these fire escapes. 

RPG

Only one turn last week, and only one scheduled for this upcoming week. Last week was my fault for one turn getting cancelled, and mother nature,s fault for knocking out power for another turn. Our heroes on the Moon managed to sneak into the enemy city only to be discovered by enemy patrols, the party splitting up, and one member chased through the city by himself, finally hiding out in a sewer. 

WIP

So far only the first floor of the 4Ground police station has been comleted. I really need to get back into that project sooner than later. The longer it goes between building sessions, the greater the chance that parts will go missing!

So dental implant goes in my mouth on Tuesday, not certain what impact that will have on my hobby activities, time will tell...
