The Road Heavy Rotation part VI

 

        This last trip was a mess. There were no flights. I had to go out of Dullas. Every plane out of IAD is 20 years old. No first class, comfort + was as expensive as 1st.  I got off the plane to the Hertz and my Co card is maxed. Card service increase the limit. Back in Cali, this time staying at the Residence Inn. It was 425 a night. I check in. Co card is maxed again.

        All the part sent were not assembled correctly. I had to rebuild what they gave me on site. Then the customer's tool was not functional. 

I painted nothing, worked the weekend, and flew home for 15 hours. I could have made it to Kuwait in that time!

Terrain Boards, Cons and the Future part XX

 

        Work has interfered with the project. I have been gone too much to get anywhere. I never thought I would be so far behind. It will be a struggle to get finished by Fall In.

        On the first raised board the foam shrunk. I had to re-enforce the top of the hill with 3mm plastic card. This in turn created another problem. The tile that would line up next to it would be 3mm too low. 

        After all the time wasted screwing. Roads are being laid down on the 5th tile. This one will have a grand avenue leading to the FW church.

        Now what? Do I use a realm of battle tile with 3mm plastic card on top or build some sort of wooden tile. I want to save the GW tile. I started with a wooden one. There was enough flex that the roads would pop off. It was re enforced, rebuilt, messed with. Then I said F it! GW tile with plastic card.

        I am printing the Dark Realms walls for the second raised tile. the Flashforge is cranking them out.

        I scaled these down by 20%. They seemed too big in the slicer. They were most likely they right size. I am still happy.

Bought another collection part VI

 

        The SM & IG netted 513. I paid 270.

        The Chaos collection rains in another 60 bucks. It is upwards of 700 total now. I paid 450.

        The Eldar Collection has been selling, 105. Other items are sold, but I will be handing those off. It cost me a total of 546.25

        The IG over flow has sold, 136.00 so far. I am about half out of this one. I expect to be even steven on it. I paid 250.

Epic Traitor guard part VIII

 

        More Armor. Easiest way to change the way IG plays or the lists you can use. IG that walks, that rides, rides large, rides deep, artillery shielded walkers, air assault, MTB heavy and on and on.

        I got all these from Jack the Marine. He sells collections for people that can't be bothered. In doing so he collects a %. I did not take everything from the lot he had. I made an offer on all the FW stuff and pieces I didn't have. 

        All where cleaned and primed at home. Everything was painted on the road. The stickers, flock, and sealing was done at home. The last steps took me forever. I thought I would be done in 2 days. Life got in the way starting with the frig light going out and ending with 5k worth of bedroom furniture. And all I wanted to do was finish some dudes.

            This was round one. Round two is chambered.

The Road Heavy Rotation part V

 

        3 weeks ago was the SpringHill. No extra points. No double points. The Courtyard became a shit show of scream people. The Springhill is dam near 100 more a night. The price increase paid off. No people yelling in the halls. 

        I got nothing done. Only a few mini base layer for skin. Every tool went down. I had a NUB and customer training all week.

        Only home for <48hrs and off again. I had to quickly change my kit to fly. Ensure I have everything and enough to keep me busy.

        This week I am back in Cali. I am not flying early morning and I am going out of MDT. Its an hour closer, 1st class was 500 cheaper, but it is and extra leg and thru SLC.

        San Tomas Holiday Inn. Same one as always, 5k a night plus double points.

            One would have thought a lot would have gotten done. I am disappointed with my efforts for 3 weeks.
