Oh yes! I'm going to win this!

Pics for the Xmas competition are taken and sent to Benno. No answer yet (he's probably stunned by my amazing marvelous entry). No painting this weekend and no big buys either. Bought a new car and then our dishwasher died. When you have big costs there is usually more to come, sigh. Well, got what I need (not for Gata Forest (would love to get my hands on some of the Valdemar figs (but they'll have to wait)) so that's not a big problem. The Valentine Competition will be a close call. If everything works out as planned there going to be some fun for/from me at Benno's, but that will take some time. A small Xmas-pic while we're waiting for the competition pics (wrong scale, don't know the maker, but the right theme :-D).

Xmas! Competition

Yes! Now I've finished painting the entry to Benno's Xmas competition! Now it's only taking pics left.

Being stupid!

More stupid than usual. The missus sasid I was crazy and had a good laugh when I told her what I've done. What did I do? I contacted the Russian sculptor Alex (at Bennosfigures (hmmm, are there readers here that haven't heard of Benno's? Don't think so.) and asked if he wanted pictures to use. The answer was that he already had an idea (it sounded very good) (I've posted some various pics of myself at Benno's) and didn't need any pics. So I gave him free hands to do what he wanted to do. :-D We will see if there is some result from this.

Wash & Go

Never thought I would get anything painted this weekend. Friday evening the missus was unwell (when you can't walk there are other bodyfunctions that doesn't work properly either). Saturday was a little bit better, but she was tired. Sunday I suggested that we buy some Asian food (you get so much it last for days), and I got some painting done. Now it's just washes on the ACWs and building a base for them. (And I'm still working on my blond Bavarian). Looks like I'm being able to join the Xmas-competition and started working on the Valentine-competition too (just out of pic).

Back to Gata

Some genuine coats-of-arms I've found at the Danish site "Roskildehistorie". At least as genuine as far as I care. And some personalities too. No painted figs yet but I've got something to work on. The week have been okay between the missus and me, but I'm always afraid of the weekends. We always have too much to do and she always have trouble with me staying home too long (but she won't let me go away either). Hopefully something more painted after the weekend.

Some very small progress

... but not on Gata Forest. Working on a little ACW-something too and think I'm going to finish this. But warring with the missus takes very much energy and I've got no time to breath at home. The first thing to give up is the psyche, then it's the body. Feelings? They're still there. At least I have them. She, I don't know. Sigh. Hope it will get better, but I doubt it.

Dead Flowers

... is a song by Rolling Stones (pretty good 'un too!), but also my latest competition entry at Benno's Figures. Didn't go very far, but at least 5 votes. Don't know if this one going to Gata Forest or in what state if he's going. Not very fond of this pose, but there is probably use for him somewhere, maybe as a casualty (and then I could call him Blomma and the title would be fine. :-D)
