Weekly Waffle #115

These updates are beginning to feel a bit like ground hog day with no game night because I’ve been on the road all week. I did manage to make a bit of change this week and took a few paints away with me so I could get some hobby time in. But more on that later.

For me this week the big thing is that for those lucky enough to be in Schaumburg it’s Adepticon. I can’t believe it’s been a year since we were there and seeing all the pictures on Twitter this week has really fired me to up go back again next year. Greg who we met last year has been putting loads of pictures up and it looks like it’s another fantastic event. Some of the Crystal brush entries I’ve seen so far look out of this world. This was one of the big things for me last year where you could see these things for yourself, and I even had the chance to talk to some of the painters which was really inspiring. I know I don’t have the talent to paint to that standard but I also know I can get better with more practice and it’s good to have something to look up to or aspire to. So I think it’s time to start planning for next year and who knows if I do manage to make it next week I might even embarrass myself and put an entry in for Crystal brush, just for the experience.

So with all my travel again this week I took a couple of models away with me and along with a few paints I’ve managed to get quite a lot of work done. I decided to have a change this week so I’ve gone back to black with some more Deathwatch. This time it’s the Watch Commander and a Terminator Librarian. The Librarian is based on the new Grey Knight lord and all I’ve done is to cut off the Grey Knight shoulder pad and replace it with a Deathwatch one. I could probably have been a bit neater with it but I’m still happy with who it’s turned out. The Watch Commander is a really nice and detailed model and I think the pose, whilst being quite static, conveys as real sense of power and experience. I still have quite a bit to do but I’m hoping to have them done for next week.

That’s it for this week and for those of you reading in the UK don’t forget that it’s mother’s day tomorrow. I’m going to spend today trying to get some more painting in and catching up Iron Fist. Have a good weekend and I hope to catch you all again next week.
