Yesterday morning I found myself out in the back garden, standing in the snow, getting ready to prime some figures white. This reminded me of another time, earlier this year, when I was out in the garden at night, priming figures black!
I try not to think about the time I varnished some minis in the rain. ;-)
Just in case I don't get the chance again before the 25th (but I probably will as I'm an obsessive blogger), I'd like to wish everyone a Very Merry Xmas!
The weather is a fickle mistress... especially when you HAVE to spray basecoat or varnish your models. I've spent many an evening freezing my **** off in pursuit of my hobby. Joy.
ReplyDeleteHi Biglee, sometimes that need to have minis ready primed means that I dive out in dreadful conditions; dawn, or 10pm.
ReplyDeleteHowever I don't like to prime minis I wont paint in the next few days; there is no sadder sight than a mini primed 18 months ago, with the undercoat gradually being chipped away...
We have to worry about the sea coming to join us for a party here in the states in Florida. We do not have to worry so much about snow but to us anything under 20 Calvin is cold.
ReplyDeleteSnow on the eve of Christmas it is magnificent!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas and a Happy New Year !
Hi Andrey, Merry Xmas! I was just now posting Merry Xmas on your blog.
ReplyDeleteYou have a lot of Aventines to paint, there... nice minis.
Thanks for all the great posts over the year, and all the best for 2010.
ReplyDeleteHappy Christmas

ReplyDeleteHi Simon; and a Merry Xmas to you, too! I always enjoy your cartoons. Hopefully we'll meet up at Salute or I might lure you to Bletchley for the SOA day in April?
