Traveling and painting in 2025 part VII

 

            Delta to Boston upgraded to comfort plus. Holiday Inn double points plus 5k. No painting

            Delta to Cali, 1st class all the way. Holiday Inn double points, 4k every 4th night plus 5k a night. No painting. Back to Cali again, same old story. No painting.

            At Sea. 1st night on points Holiday Inn in SC. 2nd night on points Melborne Beach. 3&4th night on Points at the Ft Lauderdale Marroitt Beach club. Mouse time. 10th&11th night on points Miami. 12 & 13th nights Hoiday express for the trip home.

            We paid for everyone's room with points. Save close to 5k. And still spend a grand at the Marroitt Beach Club.

            Back to fixing stupid. 4 hours travel to push 6 buttons. 

            TEL install and the week after and the week after. Every week in the Crown Plaza. The company has a deal with them. It is only triple points, no extras. The desk light is ok. No painting is happening. I have my stuff with but its a shit show.

            The Crowne is full up. I am down the street at the Fairbanks. Only double points.

I will paint mine like these dudes!

            At the end of the month they are sending me back to Japan for training. I will be staying in Kai prefecture. The home of Takeda Shingen! I have the 49 campaign with me.

        I been prep-ing sprue and planning paint load out for Japan. 

        I want to see 4 of the original 12 castles also. I could be forced into hippie backpacking and train hopping to make it happen. Weight and volume would be an issue. I want a full load out option and a limited scale pack out. I am hoping the factory will hold my bags as I bounce about.

            The only way to take enough dudes to make it worth the squeeze is to paint on the sprue. I was originally going to paint them on the sprue. Atlantic is very attachment point heavy. I started triming then said fuck it paint sticks. I will need a way to transport the dudes on sticks.
