Nearly There!




The first month of the Tale of Duelling Gamers is nearly over, and most of my fellow participants finished some time ago. Meanwhile, I've been spending every spare moment of the last week trying to cram in frantic painting sessions in order to even come close to meeting my first month quota. As is typically the case (and as Owen the Puddingwrestler predicted!) I left my painting until the last minute, and am now having to desperately scramble to get things done in order to not embarrass myself.

There's still just over 24 hours left to complete April's target though, and I've reached a stage where it actually might be possible for me to finish the figures in time. I've got just two stages left to paint on 30 figures, which amounts to probably something like 2-3 hours painting. I should be able to complete one more stage tonight, which leaves the last stage to complete tomorrow before the deadline.

Fingers crossed!

    1. I'm definitely going to try your approach next month, and set my target nice and low!

  3. I find that a large pot of coffee, tuck the kids into bed enure the electric blanket is on for The Boss and the globe still works in the desk lamp and then those wee hours of the morning just drft by and your finished unit takes its place on the finished shelf. Mind you you feel like rubbish at work the next day. ; ) Fear not I am about to have to slow right down as it just got busy at work again.

    1. That sounds like a plan Chris! I may have to resort to similar measures for this last 24 hours. Definitely won't feel good the next day when I'm up at 5am for work though! :D
