Wargamer lacking in focus with too many projects on the go and too many unfinished and unplayed. Wargaming on and off since the 70s.

14 hour day at work... Not what I had planned. So just some more repainting of the base grey and first highlights on some. Early night needed...

So. I used the wrong grey for the base coat. I blame the vodka.... Despite the test figure looking OK I've started repainting them all and have completed another two...
Needless to say, work was utterly shit again...

Having a big tidy up today and uncovered some fountain pens that belonged to my uncle. They are not hugely valuable or rare I think but I'd quite like to get them working again if possible. Top is a Mabie Todd Calligraphic, middle a basic Osmiroid, and bottom a Wyvern Perfect Pen No 81.

Bloody long day at work. Twattery as always. But a pleasant evening home alone and daubagery...
Primed some more monks... As you so... And stuck the Voynuks to bases... And drank some vodka...

Work was only moderately shit today. Car failing its MOT more than made up for the lack of twattery. Did manage some painting...

Enjoyed doing these. I've got a nice little Ottoman skirmish force now.
