Strike one.

Well this was more of a foul ball that looked like a home run but went just the wrong side of the pole.  I got about 90% done with two more of my militia figs but I just couldn't wrap them up.  We had a party to go to late in the afternoon and so I only had about 4-5 hours to paint.  I would still have probably finished but I spent at least two of those hours playing WoW. 

It was for a good cause though.  We had our game groups 4th of July party on the 5th.  Actually it was more than just our game group.  About 30 or so people were there.  One of the GMs in our group has a really nice house out in the country about 15 miles from town.  We had great food and drink and all the Dads had fun shooting various firearms on the property owners firing range.  The AK-47 was my favorite.  One of the guys in the group worked at a fireworks stand so he came with about $1,000 in fireworks.  Best show I've ever seen at a private party.

Anyway I should be able to finish what I started today quite easily tomorrow but I'm afraid I may end up getting another strike on Tuesday because I have to be out of town that day.

Wow, what a day.  We have no such day in the UK, we desperately need a national day for something to celebrate.  Guns, we don't have those either, except for criminals and farmers.....................

Got a couple more militia done today.  Just three more militia to go and I'll be done with them.

Just barely got this guy done today.  I really didn't feel like painting tonight but I decided to sit down and get one done.  This is another militia trooper.  I only have two more and I'm going to get them done in the next two days.

Fantastic!

I used to be addicted to the Prof's "Africa Every Day" project and this looks like being just as good  :D

I'd hate to see this project abandoned so early.  Why not cheat by setting the extras aside (for a rainy day, as it were) on the days you finish more than one?

I finished another militia tonight but his varnish is still drying so I can't post pics until after midnight.  I'll have him up soon.

Ok the varnish dried enough he didn't look to shiny to photograph.  I only have one more milita guy to do after this one.  I'm pretty happy with the way these guys turned out but I'll also be happy to work on some other minis for a while.

Well they all look fantastic and I echo the calls of "why is your speed painting better than my normal painting?"
So many projects..... so little time.......

Not the old "laundry" excuse. It's just not good enough!

Now, back to my "one mini a month" project  lol

You say two strikes but how many minis have you done in how many days?
(I could go back through the thread but its easier to ask)

I bet with your extras you are still on schedule really. Keep 'em coming.
