The Lead Painters' League Season 6

[Za Zjurman]

Just sent in round 9. Now full speed ahead for round 10  .

And for projects after LPL6. I entered to make the lead pile smaller Unfortunately there was so much inspiration that my lead pile just became bigger with miniatures I just had to order

More or less nothing painted the last two weeks. My WIP team 1 for round 10 are still WIP. team 2 have no paint on them at all except for the primer. Got a team primed for round 9, but I'll probably resort to submitting round 10 team 1 for round 9 and then re-use it as the opponents in round 10. Doubt I'll be able to do a scenic entry for round 10. =(

Scenic entry for round 10 ....

Scenic entry for round 10 .... 

Yep. I abandoned that idea too. Did I mention that I have a freshly turned 1 yr old, AND a 7 week old at home...

If I get any painting done, it is through sheer force of will...

I salute you, sir. I thought I had it rough with a 2 year old climbing all over me as I try to paint basecoats. The wife is in rehearsal in the evenings so I'm the childrearer for the last couple months 

[Thantsants]

I'll see your 1 yr old and 7 week old and raise you two four year olds (one is canine and demands 2 hours of walking a day) and a two year old who likes playing with the little men.   

Mind you she was genuinely nervous about touching one of the minis I've painted up for Round 9 so methinks I did a good job on it! 

You must have plenty of will power Leadasbestos as I can't imagine sleep is in plentiful supply with that combo.

Hats off to the Dr too - thank goodness I have my better half running interference!

Good luck to all put-upon fathers for the next few rounds - dig deep chaps and remember to prioritise what is important - there's only 2 weeks of LPL left and a whole lifetime of kids to go!   

Scenic entry for round 10 .... 

I went and bought some scenic bits for this round so I'd best use them really! 

Got any of that force of will going spare anyone?

As for projects - I've got a good portion of the minis done for my Lustrian project - but ended up with a hankering for 10mm fantasy gaming...

Well...I have a glimmer of hope...weather has put us out of the field for a few days and I'm hoping I can get a new team together for round 9....I'm tempted to just focus on Round 10...but I SOOOO want to have new teams for each round...its a tough choice.

And I feel the pain mentioned above...I have a 4yo and a 1 1/2 yo...I can't even think about sitting down to my painting table until 9pm...and then I just want to go to bed!  but Sleep is for the weak...so I hope to persevere!

Cheers,

Blue

Whew, just finished commenting on all entries and voting as well, hadn't been able to before but it was nice to do it after all. I do have a little bit of willpower left and I'll see if I can complete my round 9 entry before worrying about round 10. Monday is Queen's day here in the Netherlands so it's a day off. On the other hand I'm leaving for Germany early on Thursday morning so all needs to be done before then.

My sentiments exactly, Blue! I almost succumbed, but decided to pare the team down to six 28mm figures.  Surely I could get those done, right?  Well, the complication is that I leave Thursday morning for Chicago to attend the Little Wars convention.  So, that means I have to finish and photograph them by Wednesday night!

It is 12:30 am on Thursday, the figures are painted, the wash is drying, and I'll probably be up until 1:30 am flocking and photographing.  I guess with only one victory to my name so far in the League I'm greedy for that bonus 10 points -- ha, ha! 

Good luck getting your entry in!

The entries for round 9 are done. Round 10 however...  5 models are done, but no background, big beasty or ship. Then again, since all the hobby supplies are put into boxes in anticipation of moving to another house/job/town/country I also don't see a lot of possibility for making something. Next to that, the Megabloks ship that I won on an auction in the UK is not coming my way, because the seller is afraid of selling overseas. Quite annoying, since I never had any problems with any packages going to the Netherlands or Belgium...

 9th round in,one last push chaps

[Dr Mathias]

Round 9 in. I bit off more than I should have considering the work needed in Round 10. Took about fifty photos, didn't like the way a few things looked and repainted two figures today... I keep hearing the Iron Maiden song 'Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner' in my head... so near the end...

[Laughing Ferret]

Got my 9 in: was a real pain to photo, in the end discarded the scenic setting pictures and went for the photobox for this one, might make sense when you see them.

I probably really over estimated for round 10, it's also the only one I bought new minis for- just couldn't resist. But at the moment I have just my 1 test mini finished, happy with it, and just started the other 17 and haven't even primed the big mini yet.  will see what happens!

[Tomsche]

Prof, did you get my entries for 9 and 10, didn`t get the usual confirmation so just asking to prevent a re-listing due to the quirks of the digital highway?
