Working Through a Bottleneck

Over a couple of years, a lot of minis in need of various repairs (mostly rebasing, but also broken weapons and such) got stranded on my prepping station.

The many second-hand purchases I've made lately had me wondering how on Earth I should find the necessary space to handle he not-table-ready minis in order to get them ready for my Warlords of the 41st Millennium project.

Solution: Instead of pushing an ever-growing hill of unfinished busines in front of me, dig in, and get the work done!

The picture below is may pain(t) station - all the minis with white bases came directly from the prepping station, and a couple others had minor repairs done.

Imagine the clutter on the prepping station (below), when all those minis were there, too.

I expect to have the workspace (the green cutting mat) cleared over the next week or two - depending on, how often the weather permits working in the garden - I still have trees to cut up, and branches to cut down, before we can get full sun in the veggie garden.

Family Time: Lea Painting Post-Apoc

While I was busy conjuring up the restless dead, Lea set about putting some colour on one of the Ramshackle Dungers kindly sent to me by Curtis Fell some years ago when Anna requested her own Dungers (I got them prepped and primed, and then life took some turn, and they disappeared into a box for years).

This particular Dunger is going to have light green fur, and probably blue skin, so she started giving it a basecoat of Goblin Green.

I had hoped she would get the time to drybrush the fur, but that will have to wait until tomorrow!

The first drybrush will be with Warzone Venusian Green, and then we shall see from there...

HobbyZone Paint Station(s)

I got my kids a paint station each for Christmas. I found this product in a Polish online store called HobbyZone, and both delivery time and packaging was really top notch.

The MDF kit is quite easy to assemble - although I thought I would have to bend the curved pieces a bit into shape before glueing, which was NOT a good idea (as you can see on the station furthest away).

Apart from the frame, the kit is made of a laminated light-weight kind of MDF, and I think it has a tiny tad too low density, but only time and wear will tell if I am wrong or right.

The paint station (the smallest type) comes at only about €16, and if it proves to be sufficiently sturdy for my kids to use, it will have been worth every penny.
