@spev - and a happy birthday to you, mate. Gomen - facebook told me it was your birthday, and I thought "ah, happy birthday, Spev", I just completely failed to get around to actually saying so.
Anyway - good luck wi the painting project. So much historicals...
As for me, I am kinda back into the swing of things in japan again. Still havent painted owt. In fact, I need to really give my painty room a kick in the arse before I start on anything. As long as I can get it sorted in time for my infinity stuff arriving I should be OK. Incidentally, fings I bought while in scotland include:
the 7th ed 40k rulebook (for 37quid! I was well chuffed with that)
the as-yet-unrealesed new infinity newbie starter box (operation ice storm)
a box of malifaux oiran (which I have wanted for ages and got at a very nice discount.)
some scenic stuff like grass and shrubs and whatnot
a set of paint racks that will hold 144 pots of paint and cost 21quid. They're just laser cut MDF, but it looks nice and does the job very well.
a few odds and ends like paint and whatnot
I also recently watched:
Captain America 2 (very good. highly recommended. best line: "The path of the righteous man...")
Amazing Spider Man 2 (pretty good, but mostly for the scenes with Peter and Gwen, and that bit at the end that i wont talk about here.)
X-men futures past (very good, albeit the "future" scenes were a bit too much "toooomaaaaanyeeeeeeeexxxxxxmeeeeeeenn" for me. Most of the movie is set in the 70s, though, so not a major problem. I'd recommend it, overall.
Good to hear you are feeling better and slaving away on those models.
