Dark Angels

Yesterday unloaded a grand in Custer books. One 1960, one of one, Custer Album with the 7th Cav pin on the front cover. 

SAGA Long War Greeks

            Half and Half. Half were purchased at Fall In. Half were painted long ago in NY. All need rebasing, touch ups, skin, and shield stickers.
 

            All Fall In minis from Walley's basement. I repainted then in Black/Blue armor. Brad Pitt style.

Traveling and painting in 2024 part X

 

            Hampton Inn double points, plus 10%, plus 2k a stay. What is with this light. Why bother?

            Staybridge bar. 2 big over head lights. A light above the door, one in the kitchen area, one over head behind ya. Its crazy good. I did some painting this trip. Athenian hoplites, FIW Indians, and Anno Domini.  

            2k every 2nd night, plus 5k a night and double points.

            Back in a Staybridge for a night. No paints. I was sent in to train the front half and back half on PLCs. Same points package as before, different hotel. The bar was a eat in kitchen height table. I was able to block in and finish the pants on most of the 2nd round of colonial spainsh.

            Holiday Inn Staybridge double points plus 2k a stay. I did not get the bar. A handi room with a some what normalish shower. The desk light is good. Better than average, but no over head lights. The desk is half dark.

            I had to exchange Colonials for Greeks. The work on the Colonials will take more focus and very good lighting. The Greeks require less intense focus and control for the stage they are in.

        Springhill Marroitt, normally has better light. I got a shit room. 

By Fire and Sword bought an army

 

        There I was minding my own business. Some lad's dog was dying or he was going to lose his house or life was just kicking him in the balls which caused him to need money. I pitch an offer 450. He stated he was in the UK needed it in pounds. I said shipping would eat me and pounds are more than $. I counter offered with shipping included 550 USD.

        Division level in size. Which is why I countered. Normally I would not counter. 

        Above avg paint job with hand painted flags that don't suck. I was surprised when it arrived that the flags were cloth.
