Hey guys, been a while since I updated anything. I was a bit burned out after finals/term papers at the end of the semester, and have spent most of my time sleeping, playing video games and trying to get back in shape rather than painting. Re-doing my bedroom had something to do with it as well, I no longer have the space for both a computer desk and a painting desk. I'm currently experimenting with a computer desk buried in hobby supplies, time will tell if this solution can work.

This was a lot more fun than I thought! I built a display base/movement tray for the Dryad regiment. I used a 99 cent wood thingy from a craft store, and carved up several pieces of balsa wood to accomodate the bases. The tops of the bases are almost exactly the right level to match the stand, it looks really nice in person when you can get a better sense of depth. Same as before, click the image for a bigger/clearer shot.

I'm pretty excited to paint this next unit up for my Wood Elves. They each represent a couple hours worth of hacking, pinning, filing, gap filling, etc. and I think the result matches the fluff better than the trees with boobs from the plastic kit.

Yep. Finals around the corner (Wednesday) and 3 term papers due in the next 10 days, and I spend my entire Sunday evening setting up my home theatre in a new room and with a new stand. I never want to strip a speaker wire ever again... but I will in a few days once I have somewhere to mount the rear speakers. Not looking forward to it....

Don't worry kids, it's not as dirty as it sounds. I'm still alive, and still occasionally sitting down and getting some work done. For the campaign I've had to build another 2 regiments, and once again my school work prevented me from doing any actual painting. 5 Glade Riders are 100% built and based, ready for primer. I've got to do another 4 Dryad conversions and then I'm good for 2000 points of Wood Elf goodness. Now all I gotta do is paint some mages and the last 3 Core units I've assembled, and I'm all caught up :-P...
