Distract self from painting eyes on figures by buying Fat Dragon Games’ Capital City Base Set (allegedly buildings fold flat for storage). Executive decision: Discard Mantic zombies – only bought Studio zeds because forgot Mantics were in cupboard, but prefer Studio ones anyway.ĭay 12 (Monday): Invited to lunch and beers with old college buddies no schedule impact, can’t go further with chosen schemes until more paint arrives.ĭay 13 (Tuesday): Waiting for paint to arrive. Paint bases for figures with painted shoes on a whim, use plain grey for bases as did in 1970s. Gravelord Grey works well as non-metallic gunmetal must try overpainting with Zealot Yellow to make non-metallic gold, use reactivation to advantage. Would’ve been better to buy Mega Set initially. Kid’s got promise.ĭay 11 (Sunday): Wait impatiently for moar Speedpaint, need extra colours to complete chosen schemes rework colour schemes where possible to use existing colours, carry on. Progress slowed by deferred Cinco de Mayo lunch with daughter and family, spend afternoon playing seven-year-old grandson’s homebrew skirmish wargame with him especially like remote-control exploding pig summoned by ‘good’ wizard. Glue Studio Minis zeds to bases, stable without but look better with. Irritating, but won’t show up from arm’s length so decide can live with it. Let’s see what repainting does.ĭay 10 (Saturday): Pallid Bone on Tamiya white different shade than on Corax White. Notice have splodged red paint from catgirls’ costumes onto Pallid Bone skin discover can’t overpaint red with brown, reprime selected areas with Tamiya flat white (no, not a coffee) this reactivates the red paint in places, so wait for it to dry, try again – works fine. Spent money on them years ago, yes, but 99% certain will never use them now so is painting them best use of time and resources? Shuffle to back of painting queue while thinking about that. Consider sunk cost fallacy re: Mantic zombies.
Meh, only zeds, who cares only use them for solo ATZ. Scaly primer accident and bubbly paint horrifying under magnification, but invisible at arms’ length. Quick and easy to paint, make excellent progress. Day 9 (Friday): Blitz Studio Miniatures zombies.
