Shame really I picked up some figures Friday that I'm itching to get started on as I'm going to use them in a little diorama piece that I'm making for a competition over at Board of The Living Lead Its only a friendly one and is just for fun the deadline for completion is Christmas Eve and then we will post pics on the forum and then they will be voted on by the members to see who wins.
Rules are simply its a Diorama that must be based on a CD and have at least 2 miniatures, one of which must be a zombie. I've themed mine around the a zombie book series I'm reading at the moment.
I started work on it a few months ago and over the past couple of weeks have done a few more bits to it and it is progressing nicely. The diorama base is built just requires texture adding to it and the whole thing needs painting up. The figures will still have there normal bases as I want to use them besides for just this diorama.
I might do a how I built it post as I've taken some pics of it being built. I'll do this after the competition though as I want it to be a surprise.
Here's hoping you are all well and normal service will resume shortly!
Oooh, that competition sounds intriguing!

DeleteThese things are sent to really try us, get well soon Brummie and let us know how your competition goes - looking forward to seeing the finished product.
ReplyDeleteIndeed. Why don't you join in? Not seen you there for a while?
DeleteGet well soon mate. Know how you feel, I had a severe problem with a crippling back injury and not done any hobby stuff. Only thing iv managed to do is catch up on Bloodbowl league games.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear that mate much more serious than a stomach bug. Your team's doing well though!
DeleteFunny the orange
ReplyDeleteHello Brummie good recovery to the family
Cheers
here's wishing you and your family a speedy recovery, mate.
ReplyDeleteReal life mate, don't worry about it, hope everyone is better soon!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you've been having fun, there's nothing more exciting as sickly kids when you feel like crap yourself! I feel your pain!
ReplyDeleteI was off work a few days last week with a nasty cold too. Does seem to be the season for it! I ended up using one of my weekend days (after I'd mostly recovered) to do some painting. But then, I didn't have sick kids to look after! I trust everyone is on the mend now...
ReplyDeleteNow that sounds like seriously good fun! The competition that is and not the illness, which sounds horrid. Hope you are all on the mend soon.
ReplyDeleteI remember those days well. As soon as I got The Hubby and the kids through it, I'd come down with it.
ReplyDeleteSounds like an exciting project and hopefully you'll fell well enough to tuck into it soon.
Best wishes to a speedy recovery for the whole household!
ReplyDeleteI am making good progress on my entry. Really looking forward to seeing the other entries.
Thanks for all the well wishing we are all on the mend just need to get back into the flow of things a bit out of sync this week.
ReplyDeleteHope you feel better soon! That sounds like a cool competition! good luck!! :D
