The Lead Painters League Season 8 - General Discussion

[Elk101]

I still haven't sent mine in. Mine are all taken on a phone (camera is bust) and when I reduce the size to 800 x 800 the quality is awful. I can't see a way around it?

[Blue in vt]

Yeah me too boys...I made this one by the skin of my teeth...I hope...

Crazy work load and the man-flu have hurt my painting time terribly...what happened to that "time cushion" I had built up!   

Hang in there!

Time flies when you're having fun... I finished my rd6 at 2 a.m. this morning.

All week I kept adding this, then that....scenic scope creep at its worst...   

[Elk101]

I still can't find my Round 10 WWI figures and have no idea what I'm doing for Round 9 (7&8 I know). I need to do Border Reivers, Victorians and Old West so any of those would be useful. I'll probably follow the path of least resistance!

[Dolmot]

Crap week. I have major non-mini projects going on and the key people keep disappearing without doing any of their part. Well, 6th sent sort-of-successfully, 7th will be tricky again. At least there are slightly fewer other matters to worry about, I hope...

This was also my closest shave with the deadline. I went to bed with dullcoate drying on the figs. I woke up at 6 am to do a second dullcoate, and then placed the figs in the scene I'd set up the day before and photographed them. The pic was sent to Alex one hour before the deadline.

Luckily, round 7 is already done. Rounds 8 and 9 are primed, as of today. Blue...I was wondering the same thing: "Where did my 'cushion' go...?"

I havent even bothered to dullcote mine. Afraid i'd get that one in a thousand shot of bad spray and ruin the whole batch...

Hmm...good point. Well, they look awesome -- loved your entry! I know I'd try to rescue that winsome lass...!

There's a lot of close calls this season. Well done, participants!

It certainly has been very close in many cases! Very great league this year, kudos!

Thanks

Sent my photo in for Round 7 tonight, though the figs had been one of the batches finished in preparation for the league. Finally got around to staging the photo...definitely something different. 

Round 8 is about 3/4 of the way or more done, too, so this is a definite improvement on last week's close shave with the deadline! How's everyone else faring this time around...?

Almost finished the bases for round 8.  Starting with the bases for this entry, rather than doing them last.  Got a couple of night shifts coming up, so hopefully get them finished nice and early.

I just finished!  Four spare hours to go.  Of course, it is almost 2 AM here...

I have round 8 primed and mounted on bases.  Next week isn't going to be any easier than this one...   

[Dolmot]

Barely.

Finally got rid of a few other matters, but buffer level is currently zero. Next week could be a little bit easier, though, at least in theory.

I was hoping the LPL thing would facilitate me carving some time out of work and all the other stuff... in the end it was sleep time that was sacrificed It's been fun though, but tough on the brain chemistry! I'm enjoying it, as I always do and looking forward to the next few rounds!
