Patience is about the only virtue I have!  lol

As my hands are severely cramped up after basecoating the 2 ruins and the buddah (again) and some tombs, I'm keeping this short.

What I did today, all day.

Shoot that looks nice! All of it, but that building you are working on looks really cool already!

Excited to see more of the wood framed building. Once the hands are rested of course!

No bricklaying today, but the 4 walls have had 2 coats of varnish, and the 2 ruined supports are now ready for the final bits of highlighting of the sand. Buddah got painted and weathered as well so he's also up for some varnish. Did 2 little mausoleums as well.

Looking good.  Very ambitious projects there.  Wish I could find the time to do some terrain, painting commissions have been eating every waking hour lately.

Looking good...the walls remind me of Labyrinth so was half expecting to see a little blue worm on one of the bricks :D

It's a hell of a work, but it certainly pays off. Wonderful results

Ran out of blocks, cut new blocks, painted moss. That was my evening....

After cutting all those blocks do you find yourself cutting them at night? :D

Part of me thinks cutting them all would be dull but the Aspie part of me thinks the repeated task is quite appealing...especially when you look down to see a box full.

Always nice to see a fellow Aspie  :D

No, I just cut off a strip of my huge size of foam, and compeletely strip that bit down into blocks and then I'm done. Actually glueing them on is the boring and repetative bit but even that I've managed to speed up a bit. And yes, you can do that well into the night and I really  :D
