Brief Plan Change

1/5/2011

I'm going to be working on building for a few days.  Long story, but from a combination of getting older, some old damage in one eye and not being able to get to the eye doctor, close detail work is killing me.  I'm having to use a magnifier anyway, but until I get my new glasses on Friday (and then adjust to them for a couple of days), fine detail work is out.  I end up focusing between a 20/20 eye and a 20/400 eye resulting in the "dagger in the eye" headache that some of you may know.

I just finished off those two power fists okay, but the twitch started so that is it for today.  Unfortunately it means I don't get to update the front page on painting for a bit, although I might cheat and do a few backpacks at a time.  I only need a bit of gunmetal on them and the painting level will be all the same on the assembled models (especially the Marines).

No big deal, I still have drop pods and a dreadnought to assemble and if I have more time I can start on fiddling with one of my "expansion" models I've bought.  I do know that I'll be playing the 1k list several times before I think about upgrading in points.  Faster games, less variables (3 Crusader squads, 2 DN in 5 pods) and simpler tactical situations which should give me some quick lessons.  Yeah, I'm not so hot at that level, but then most armies aren't either.

To be completely honest, I've been there. It was a large reason for my lack of painting for a while. I slacked off and didn't update my prescription, so I got massive headaches when I spent any amount of time with this type of thing. That problem doesn't really bother me now, its more of neck soreness that is getting to me right now. I have to hunch over a little bit to see what I'm doing, as I use the desk to brace my hand.

I had to take a break today as well, because of work (15 hour shift). I'm not proud of that fact, as I felt like I lost an entire day of painting. But such things cannot be helped I suppose.
