<p>I finally finished&nbsp;a whole mini.&nbsp; I paint slow.&nbsp; I just can't seems to call something done.&nbsp; That's why I do competitions.&nbsp; I have a deadline and have to call something done by a certain date.&nbsp; In this case it was a mini for a small monthly competition at a group on Ebay.&nbsp; I'm especially pleased with this one because the whole thing gelled so easily.</p><p>What some people don't know (those who have followed the WIP of the mini) is that I had a real father and son in mind when I started the scene.&nbsp; No, not Mr C and Alex.&nbsp; It would have been a completely different story depicted if I had done that.&nbsp; More of the father training the son how to fightm I think.&nbsp; Nope, this is of a really good friend of mine and depicts how I see the emotional attchment between him and his son.&nbsp; He absolutly adores his son and the idea of having to be away from him for any amount of time seems to cause him actual pain.&nbsp; It's very sweet to see but if you confronted him with it he'd brush it off with a joke.&nbsp; So this is for them.</p><p>Now that I've got the mushy part of the blog over with, WOO HOO!&nbsp; I finished a mini in a month!&nbsp; That has to be some kind of a record for me!&nbsp; Now I have to shift focus.&nbsp; I have a commission I have to do that I've been getting the evil eye about while I worked on this mini so I have to finish one of the 4 minis in the box for this very soon.&nbsp; So all of you who play Warmachien and are up on the fluff behind the Protectorate of menoth please fill me in.&nbsp; I know absolutly nothing about the game and need help with basing ideas.</p><p>All in all it's been a fairly good week but I don't like weekends much.&nbsp; I do need to say that my son is doing brilliantly in his new school, having aced every test he's taken since the change.&nbsp; Mr C is doing well, as is work abd things are humming along sweetly right now.&nbsp; I'm looking forward to the Christmas season for many reasons this year and early next year looks like some fun things will happen so I'm content right now!</p>
