Mako Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 Hey Steam, how's the world back home? I've just stumbled back from the gym. Argh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteamHammer Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 Cold and boring. Know how you feel about the gym, I got on the rowing machine over the weekend. Things ached the next day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 Yeah. Rowing machines look like a good idea until you're on them. Still trying to get myself to a point where exercising next to the rowing team doesn't make me look about as athletic as comic book guy, but I reckon that's a fair way off! Oh well, I've signed up for the gym for the year, so I'm off every weekday from now on. No rest for the wicked... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteamHammer Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 I just need to get back into the routine of doing it. At the moment it's a very rare occurrence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 Aye. Once you get into the habit its so much easier to deal with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteamHammer Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 Just a matter of finding the time at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mako Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 New catalyst and filters for the glove box, electropolished steel for experiments, cell culture media for other experiments, a peptide i'm doing work on to return from someone else's lab, a protocol from a lab back in England and probably some other bits I can't remember offhand. So just a short list, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LonelyPath Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 ~Sneaks up on everyone with my Girls and we all shout "BOO!" very loud~ MUAHAHAHAHA!!! That woke y'all up Things are as always, watching tv, watching movies, painting minis and occasionally playing some Xbox. However, I have hit 514 minis painted this year, that's more than I normally paint in a decade. Sad thing though, no matter how many minis I paint the pile never seems to shrink I will leave you now with a couple of pics of minis I have painted Also, be warned, there's a Hawllowe'en pic of me coming, be VERY afraid as the Gothic Showgirls approve MUAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Mister Shine Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 Awesome work! You should put the finished ones on display and hide the unpainted ones, and then just ignore the grey horde. Oh god, please dont come after me unpainted minis..... Ill get to you! Please! A little more time! No.... stay back! NOOOOooooooooooooooo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 514 minis painted? Good grief path, I was feeling pleased i might hit 50 this year... They look sweet, where's the pumpkin guy from? Love the little fairy with the love hearts. That's going into the 'epic miniature things' folder.

LonelyPath Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 Mako me old mate! The Pumpkin Golem is from Reaper Miniatures Pumpkin Horrors range, here's a link... http://www.reapermini.com/OnlineStore/pumpkin/latest/03377 I use those models as my Dreamer Crew (they even have a witch sitting on a pumpkin, heh). The Fairy is Hasslefree Miniature's Fairies Wear Boots, it's also 40mm scale and was a bueaty to paint, but a word of warning if you get it, be careful of the casting on the right arm. I base coated mine to find some flaws in the surface meaning I had to remove the paint there, file, retouch with green stuff and repaint it again. Shine, I do try that strategy with hiding the unpainted horde(s), but I still hear them moaning in their boxes. I swear I'll get to them some day... well, eventually... Who knows, I may even get my Orks painted, it's only taken me about a decade to paint all of my current Grey Knights army (which now only uses the current ranges of models unless it's Apocalypse where the old RT era terminators and land raiders come out to play)... Of courses, there are also all of those Bones minis and the Relic Knights stuff will be arriving at some point in the near(ish) future. At least I have most of my Malifaux stuff painted, just 10 more models to go there, I may have to take some pics when the light allows and start a thread in Minis Showcase at some points, Gods knows I painted enough this year. I am hoping to get the Bones Cthulhu painted up soon along with 1 of the dragons I got with it to use as Hell Drakes on my Chaos Marine army.

Mako Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 Awesome. Be good to see some of your painted bits! So how's things going? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LonelyPath Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 Things are about the same as always, strangely I've spent most of the last few months playing Borderlands 2 with Regnak when I've not been painting stuff or watching stuff (normally while painting stuff, lol). Now I've worked out the macro feature on my phone I'll be taking more pics of minis when the light is there, just that it's almost always pitch black these days (dull days and trees outside blocking a lot of light) and daylight bulbs seem to tint my minis yellow when I used them to take pics, lol. Of course, the Gothic Showgirls also keep me busy by supplying me wit ha constant barrage of ales. Also cut down a lot of smoking, I didn't quit though, that'd be foolish since I like taking a break from painting for a ciggy to rest my hands, but I did cut back by about 75% of what I did smoke a day. Gods bless those that invented the electronic ciggy... It was Cthulhu, wasn't it? Heck, Cthulhu gets the credit regardless (the Girls have their own little cult now and worship the Bones Cthulhu, bless their stripy socks).

Mako Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 Well, if they're gonna worship something, they could do a lot worse than Cthulhu! Sounds like good times, and kudos on the cutting back, that takes a lot of will. I can't even manage to resist a cookie... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 ...and just like that Mako's evening goes bye bye. Can I give a 3pm lecture tomorrow as wel as repairing someones failed project? Er... sure, I guess. After all, it's the postdoc's job to make sure the chaos gets held at bay at least a bit... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Shine Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 I thought it was research that inevitably LEAD to more chaos? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
