    Eagle of Doom

    <p>The primer is currently drying on the eagle, I didn't get a chance to paint him up yet like I wanted to. Silly things like reading assignments and response papers on the second day of class are getting in my way. Oh well I think I actually learned something which is a treat.</p><p>Anyway I...

    Wood Elf army updatage

    <p>Just a bit of a teaser, but I put in a couple of hours of work tonight for my army (well like 6 to be honest). I wanted to paint, but I mostly ended up drilling, pinning, and sculpting wood grain and feathers. Not the most fun I've had in ages (in fact I think I have a blister on my thumb...

    Proof!

    <p>Proof I'm not completely inept at army painting ... just mostly inept.</p><p><img title="Woodies0001.jpg" height="239" alt="Woodies0001.jpg" src="http://blog.coolminiornot.com/image.php?id=61255516" width="500" border="1" /></p><p>Perhaps more pics to come later, when I'm not rushed to leave...

    Actually finished a regiment

    <p>I'm feeling kind of giddy at the moment. After a marathon session of painting at Tom's house last night, I got my second regiment of Glade Guard archers painted up for that Fantasy campaign I keep talking about. I did move away from the old color scheme in some ways (the first models for the...

    New Years goodness

    <p>Hey all, I hope you all had a safe and enjoyable holiday so far. Just thought I'd give a quick update while I'm still under the blissful effects of unsafe dosages of extra strength Asparin. Got a nasty cold complete with pounding headaches, sore throat and last night I had a lovely time...

    Christmas is canceled

    <p>Wow, I've never been un-invited to Christmas dinner before. I guess I've got some free time on my hands today...</p>

    Die, xenos scum!

    <p>I hope you dirty xenos players will forgive my enthusiasm, but I played my first 40k game in months yesterday. My Salamanders took on my friend Tom's Orks, probably our last battle with the old Ork rules. The new book is out in a couple days for the advance orders.</p><p>The game was an...

    Army in a box (a little box)

    <p>I've shown these guys off once or twice before, but I can't stress enough how awesome these little trays can be for sorting out parts. You can get them at the Dollar Store, usually the walls between compartments pop out so you can fit big bits like flag poles and spears and stuff with...

    Child\'s Play Charity Auctions

    http://www.childsplaycharity.org/ Some of you may remember that I gave the proceeds of several auctions to Child\'s Play last year. I\'ve always loved this charity, where absolutely 100% of the proceeds go directly to buying toys/video games for childrens\' hospitals in the US, Canada and...

    Plans Within Plans

    <p>I know I said I wasn't gonna post anything without pictures (and I definitely had the not posting part down pat) but the bit of work I've been able to do lately isn't exactly worth showing. Lately I've been planning some army lists a bit more, and possibly even figuring out ways that I might...

    ME14 etc.

    <p>Just a quick post to say that I tore my room apart the other day looking for stuff that planecrazy might want for the Mini Exchange 14 thing going on in the forums. I have some pics of the collection up in the Workbench area (seemed like the best place to put them).</p><p>The first&nbsp;one...

    Mwahahah finished with the paper of doom

    As the title stuggests, I completed my ~15 page essay today and aside from the minor nuisance of a big scary midterm on Friday I'm in the clear for a while. A very short while, but it still counts. All right back to the studying... I might sneak in a few hours of painting tomorrow, it all...

    Psychology of Aesthetics... cool class, big projects

    <p>Just thought I'd keep you guys posted about how things are going so far... I'm happy with the progress so far with my big project for Uni, but it's still gonna take up pretty much all my day off tomorrow. Shame too, I was looking forward to sneaking some painting in there.</p><p>I currently...

    Remembrance Day

    <p>Hey everyone, I just wanted to take a quick timeout from the mini painting thing and say a few quick words.</p><p>Today we remember those who fought for us over the years. Regardless of political preferences, conflicting viewpoints or anything of the sort, we can't forget the thousands of...

    Who says the government never does anything good...

    <p>Heh just got another letter in the mail from the City of Edmonton (my summer employers). Apparently they did a vacation pay correction to the sum of $600 on Tuesday. They keep paying me long after I quit, how nice of them! Between the government's generosity and the $90 I got back selling...

    Blood Ravens Color Recipes

    <p>I've been asked what colors I used on my Captain, so I guess this is the best place to post :) Nice and public so everyone can see it. Here's the newest shot, with a bit more work done. Mostly on&nbsp;the chest and shield.</p><p><img title="Ravens0005.jpg" height="409" alt="Ravens0005.jpg"...

    Reading Material

    <p>Just a quick note before I'm off to bed: if at all possible try to avoid reading Trainspotting on a deadline... I had to read half of it in one evening to allow me to get on with my research paper and it was not a fun experience. Decent enough book I suppose, but reading it is something of am...

    Master of the Fleet Update

    <p>Hey everybody, I had a second sitting with the Captain today, fairly brief but I think I settled my issues with the color scheme.</p><p><img title="Ravens0002.jpg" height="406" alt="Ravens0002.jpg" src="http://blog.coolminiornot.com/image.php?id=9119549" width="300" border="1" /></p><p>Blood...
