Old Painting Notes

I just found a stack of old painting notes that I never got around to putting into an electronic format. Some of the paint colors are likely no longer available, or at least not in that particular name.

Paizo's Goblins

 Paizo's football-headed goblins look ridiculous.

End of the line

 After November 2023 you will no longer get here through the littlemetalmen.com domain. Working Federal Government jobs killed my love for writing code and I will not be renewing my hosting fee in November.

I will retain ownership of the littlemetalmen.com domain for a little longer in case I get the bug again, but right now I just don't care.

I'll leave the blog up but you'll have to access it directly.

A quick note on...

 ... the old Wargames Factory Celt Cavalry.

Dreadful miniatures. For now I'll just leave it at all the right arms look like they've suffered from shoulder dislocation. Maybe I'm putting them on incorrectly but they look horrendous at every angle. I can only imagine the infantry types are just as dire. Maybe it's time I invested in some Victrix sets.

Disappearing Comments

 Looks like I'm the latest recipient of disappearing comments. This seems to be a longstanding issue and Google hasn't seen fit to rectify the situation for going on three years. Comments on older posts are still there but newer ones have disappeared. They must have pushed out some "new and improved" code after a piss poor performance by their QA team. There seems to be a lot of that going around these days.

WotR progress

I'm well on my way through cleaning up two boxes of the plastic Wars of the Roses Infantry figures from the Perry brothers. The obligatory mold lines aren't the worst I've ever seen but they're obviously there, and my OCD just won't allow them to stay!

While I haven't quite decided on the number of figures to do up for archers, billmen, and command, I have pretty much decided on a retinue thanks to my genealogy obsession and Citadel Six Custom Design. I'll keep that decision a mystery until I actually do a little more research and get these models ready to paint.

I just about have all the bodies cleaned up and plan on doing the heads next so I can get them attached for easier painting. The arms and weapons will also likely be painted separately, at least to a point, to make painting an easier task.

Now, if I can just stop watching Turnip28 videos and hold off that temptation for a while...
