Iron Painter Round 3 Ends- Wednesday in Progress for 11 May 2016

Round 3 of Iron Painter is over. I scraped together what I had to submit an image Monday morning. I was still painting half an hour before I had to have the image submitted and spent next to no time going through pictures and making the collage for this round.

My partner for the round,Neveroddoreven, submitted a fantastic piece. He sculpted the entire model aside from the head. I really enjoy the model.

Captain's Personal Log - Stardate 13016.128

Our destination is Ironius Paintorus III in the Wyrd system. Preparations are underway to present the representatives with a scientific gift that will interface with their technology, but not be of their own making. The engineers ensure me that all of the components are available and assembled. My Science officer will be calibrating the prototype model while the ship's Counselor will be overseeing the final preparations. We must arrive and present the model no later than the morning of 13016.130, or all is for naught.

This is a personal entry. It is a little bit on the long side. It is a post that many should probably skip. There is a bit of me feeling sorry for myself in this post. This post may contain Too Much Information (TMI). Consider that a final warning that you will not get back the time it took to read the remainder. I feel it is important to share life's hiccups on occasion, and I have the time to do so right now.

Iron Painter Round 3 - Wednesday in Progress(?) for 04 May 2016

Last Wednesday I talked about starting the third round of this year's Iron Painter. Then I talked about restarting. This week I am going to talk about restarting yet again. Shipping took longer than I had hoped for the second project I started, so I am on a backup that I started yesterday. There really is not a lot to share at this point.

The model is a Monstrosity for the Cephalyx faction in Privateer Press' Game, Warmachine. I finished cleaning, pinning, magnetizing, and putty work on this model yesterday. I had already cleaned on the model to use for gaming previously, but I gave it another go because @#$%! Privateer Press' plastic models. To be fair, the monstrosities have been a joy to clean compared to other plastic models I have picked up from the company.
