Week 12 - Getting on with it.

One of the things I always want to get to each year is terrain. The usual problem is that I tend to have a bunch of models to finish during the holiday season, which tends to be a bit busy. So the thinking is that if I put a bit more effort in now I may have time later to get some terrain done in the latter part of the year. So to make that most likely to work my plan is to try and paint 20+ models per week. That gives me a lot of margin for error and would put me on track for finishing my main painting goal by the end of June. It will take quite a bit of effort to maintain though so we will all see how that goes.

So this week I have finished 12 Zombicide models with 9 more drying (so the photo will probably come next week). The trick with these is having to paint them in pairs, the survivor and zombivor together, in order to keep the clothing similar colours.

I still have about 50 of these to go and a pair of commission models as well so next week will be interesting to see if I can keep up with my new weekly target.

Week 11 - Scourge on the March

I didn't have a lot of time to work on models this week so I focused on some easy ones. I finished 12 more Scourge, all of them infantry stands. I'm just about out of assembled Scourge now so will have to spend evenings this week  building the last of them in time for the long weekend.

I should be getting two more commission models sometime next week. Hopefully I can get them done along with the rest of my Scourge over the weekend.

Week 10 - Table Upgrade and More Scourge

Another productive week despite the family having a cold. I completed 7 more Scourge, mostly transports this time. I also spent the day making a new gaming table and workbench in the garage. This will let me play 4'x8' size games as the old 4'x4' was no longer suitable. This will let KnightWolf and I play some bigger games of DZC, among others.

I've had that gaming table since early 2014, built for playing Warmachine. I didn't get much use out of it until the last six months though and it has proven to be too small. Of course I am supposed to be finishing off my garage but I never seem to finish any of these projects! Even the table isn't finished, I need to put a surround on it and add some dice areas. Soon though (probably...)

Week 9 - More Scourge Complete

This has been a busy weekend. My Daughter turns 2 tomorrow so we had her party yesterday. We have family visiting (for the party) and both my mother and mother-in-law are staying in my house. So luckily I got my painting done early in the week! I've got 20 more Scourge complete, which puts me ahead by almost a week on my goal, which I'm definitely going to need...

I've still got a bunch of Scourge to go but this does make my forces look a whole lot nicer. And after next week I have another 2 commission models coming my way so I'm going to have to try and get as much done as I can this coming week if I want to stay ahead.
