Should we have a covid-19 painting club?
«

March 22, 2020, 08:21:05 PM »
It's been a while since LAF has done a painting club and I was wondering if the current situation the world finds itself in is a good excuse for one. Anything to take our minds off the day to day crap has to be a good thing
Basically it would be any figures finished while the pandemic is still on. Sadly, that could be rather open ended, but hopefully not.
There are plenty of virus images out there for the badge, so, mods, how about it

Great idea, but as this could go on for a while how about making it groups, gangs, regiments or such rather than single figures per entry?

second the idea of groups/squads/warbands, sounds like a good distraction, and enabler to get some groups up and done for solo play at the least?

I'd recommend calling it something more vague, like The Quarantined Painter's Club or something, and perhaps not with a virus badge either.

+1 to Gibby. The group (instead of the single miniature) thing as we're also in this together.

I'm looking like I will be laid off by the end of the week, so yeah, anything to not think about it until my company can reopen its doors.

Best of luck with the employment situation Sinewgrab. Hopefully it won't be too much longer.

I like the quarantine club idea, group theme. I'll just be doing my usual
Sorry to hear about the work situation Sinewgrab, this event has certainly thrown a wrench into the works.

Why not a post apoc theme, or is that too grim?

I’m not sure painting each other with Covid-19 is what anyone’s government had in mind when they released their social distancing guidelines.
I suppose there could be a prize for best depiction of the morphology of the coronavirus but I’m not doing it in 6mm let alone 0.00006 mil.
How about best banner or flag painted on your last remaining sheet of loo paper? Points for commitment.

Post apoc is my chosen genre most of the time...but I'm planning on finishing my Teutonic Knights, Conquistadwarves, and WW2 Italians.
And thanks for the good thoughts, people - my wife is a kidney transplant survivor, and the people who say we are overreacting make me want to get particularly vicious.

Why not do something along the lines of the old 'What I Painted This Month' thread - that way it's not tied to a specific theme that not everyone may be interested in and just allows users to post pictures of their work while stuck indoors!
