Let’s start with a quick update the Elf project. I made what feels like immense progress this week yet again and am pretty much at the point where I won’t have to paint many more “repeat” parts now which is great. While initially I didn’t think the gems looked as good as the other side, … Continue reading The Elk and Setbacks
Another week and more progress on the all-consuming elf project. I’m working on the other side of the elk which isn’t as exciting but is possibly a bit more relaxing since I have a pretty good idea of what I’m doing with it. I also knocked out the red armor parts which is by far … Continue reading The Far Side of the Elk
So much has been going on since my last update that an update on my personal life is in order. I have moved (finally!). It went pretty well all things considered. The worst part was having to wait almost a week to get the natural gas turned on which meant no warm/hot showers during that … Continue reading Synthetic Life
I finally decided to take a break from painting the Elf this week and focused on something else. Unfortunately, I didn’t choose all that wisely because the final Glowing One for Fallout was a bit of a chore. What I didn’t think about until I started is that painting one of these, is that I’d … Continue reading A Glowing, Ghoulish Finale
I’ve had a very sleep-challenged week for some reason. I woke up early in the morning Saturday night and couldn’t go back to sleep but then a worse thing started to happen. My dog started showing signs of kennel cough. A dog with a cough, could be a little gross, sure, but what’s the big … Continue reading Even more Pointy-Eared Fun
Well for this week’s installment of what’s going on outside of hobbying, I can share that I closed on the condo finally! It was stressful up until the end but thankfully, I have the keys to the new place and can start to make arrangements to move. A couple of things like switching over utilities … Continue reading An Elven Update and WandaVision
That title might confuse some but I promise it will make sense by the end. This week might have been the worst I’ve had in terms of wedding and moving stress. I finally jumped through enough hoops for the closing only for the lawyer and lender to schedule it on a day without consulting me … Continue reading For Ulthuan and Crom!
It has been another hectic week for me. Closing on the condo has been keeping me busy and it looks like next week is when that will finally happen. I got my second Pfizer shot yesterday and compared to the first, it has been taxing. I’ve been tired for a day and a half and … Continue reading Embarking on an Elven Journey
I might as well get the big personal news out of the way. The condo buying process has taken several big leaps forward. After my fiancée and I offered and haggled a bit, our offer was accepted. We had a home inspection this week that went fairly well all things considered and now we just … Continue reading Deathclaw in Progress
Its been a strange time for me hobby wise the last week or two and then I had about the worst 24 hours I’ve had in a long time this week as well. I usually steer clear of stuff going on in my personal life because I’ve always kind of viewed this site as a … Continue reading Halfway to The Institute
