This has been quite the snowfall! Here’s my wife (that’s Mrs Dr Dropkick)’s poor, beleaguered chive plant at the start of the day yesterday, then today at 730am.

Kyle, no!

WIP! For Ghaz! Finished up his other leg today. So next up will be his crotch (grot-ch?) plate.

I have been enveloped by sickness so my slow painting is going even slower sadly.

Canada made weird tv shows because it was all being done with government funded art grant money so they fell in this wacky middle ground between “shoestring budget” and “no expectation to generate shareholder value” which is really the best way to make art

I realized it’s been a week since I’ve posted minis.

It’s been a super busy week and weekend so not much painting time.

What little time I have had has been testing me. Who knew these tokens would start to gnaw at my soul and cause me to fiddle em to death several times?

Taking the “good enough”

I have this one on my wall!

That panther looks sad :(

No context @dannyguts.bsky.social :

“Rob Zombie as Aragorn”.

Y’know, despite 80% of the dialogue being very problematic; Wild Wild West is still a really fun steampunk movie in a world where you can count the live action steampunk movies on one hand.

Did you know I sometimes stream video games because it’s the only way I find I can complete them?

It’s true!

I also think I’m kind of funny.

I can absolutely tell when they’ve tried to hammer it in to what they’ve already written too. And zero proofreading for clarity.

Just give us Canada :( I refuse to travel to that stupid country down south.

He emails I see the “communications people” here send are just the opposite of communications. It’s word vomit. It amazes me in 2025 how bad some people are at email writing.

Here in Canada, the CRA (our government tax org, like the IRS) was found in a study to provide incorrect information 83% of the time. So that’s the other side of the coin: know where you work but don’t know a damn thing.

I have no energy yet I must work

No Ghaz updates because I’ve started working on the prone / stunned tokens from the new Bloodbowl to have em done for the December tournament.

Lots of time but get em done now eh? There is another set on the way too. Can’t have too many!

Super busy week this week too so we’ll see what we can do

Probably an ultramarine. Let’s be honest.

happy cloudflare outage day to all who celebrate

Me to my friend: what a week. It feels like it’s picked me up and slammed me down.

Friend: it’s Monday…

Me: oh no…

Do you think prehistoric peoples had stress dreams about like… showing up to the mammoth hunt without their loincloth on?

WIP on ol’ Ghazza!

One leg down! One to go! Then the crotch, tusks, and other little details.

Then maybe the base? Weird order I know. Trust me.

So. Kill Bill?

It’s here! So exciting!!

Thing I’m most looking forward to though? Status markers and dice that are actually readable at a glance!

Back in my day we just dipped the entire model in the wash Achilles style!

Ghaz update! Still not a huge amount to see. Just plugging away at black armour panels and dark dark silvers.

It’s a lot of odd crevasses and hidden areas and I’m finding myself going back over old areas seeing missed things.

One step at a time, we’ll get there! His bum is next.

Ghaz update! Been feeling a little sleepy today so not much painting done post-work.

Been working on the back and chest armour, and some of the metal plating around his neck.

Thrilling colour palette today.

Well, I’m excited to announce with last nights Zombie, I reached my #paintslam2025 goal of 52 models! I’m proud of this, I’m a very slow painter so I’m pretty excited. Time to get something out of the stash that’s been waiting a while to celebrate!
