Never paint a mini while watching/listening to a bloopers reel from anything.

Feel free to add to the list. But since I just did this one, I thought I'd share it.

No, I'm not taking a picture to show how badly the piece got messed up.

Tamiya Clear paints taste absolutely terrible. Even worse than Vallejo and GW paints.

Cats and figs don't mix. Especially when the ink washes on the fig are still wet.

Picking out hairs after a fig has been sealed is very, very difficult.

Never keep the ashtray near the waterpot. Manky brushes and/or a wet ciggies, sad.

When the girlfriend appears in her sexy undies and come-to-bed eyes, never say "sorry love, I'm painting a dragon."

Just remnants on the brush . I've only recently developed this habit of brush licking, too.

Not enough time can be taken cleaning your brush of Turpenoid. (The bristles wick that stuff up and won't let go) The flavor is not one to savor.

Has happened waay too many times... "I'm bored", "It's cold", "I've got nothing to do" are all phrases where you should lift your eyes from what you're doing to check if she's in an outfit or not... The "Aaaw...*continues working*"-approach is definitely something that can wake the real dragon... One that refuses to go back to sleep for weeks to boot!

If you chose to continue painting when your partner apparently wants a bit of razzamatazz, you'd better get your head checked! :shock:

 

[Chrome]

Got it checked, they said there was nothing they could do other than pray and hope it bears with me the rest of the way. :silly:

But then again, serves her right for doing geeky stuff and ignoring me when it's my turn!:curse:

Razzmatazz? That's what we're calling it now?

But then again, serves her right for doing geeky stuff and ignoring me when it's my turn!:curse:

It's a double standard! And a conspiracy! And... and... a double standard!

i had a girl i dated this summer, she told me if i went to play 40k at the lgs, we were over.

my answer: who said i wanted to keep dating you then?


1. we had dated for a month.
2. i only go once a week for 3 hours.
3. dumped that %$#$ like a bad habit.

Never use static grass in the same area you paint. Goes for fine flock as well. Never eat powdered doughnuts while painting. In fact, keep powders away from your work space all together. Never paint after a knock down, drag out fight. Adrenaline does wierd things to your motor control. Never put your paint water and your soda in the same type of cup.

always use a stronge box, safe, or suitable reinforced biscuit tin to keep your sculpted parts in as the cat will hide them in various locations around the dungeon otherwise. tools also seem to have an irrisistable alour.i spent half an hour the other day trying to find my favorite sculptin tool. the cat may have to disapear..anybody no of a good mechanic?

Don't try to prove how cool your hobby is to everyone around you. Just accept the fact that most people will label you as a geek, and take pride in it. In the other path, the justifying path, lies madness.

Anders you're being very polite, I'd have called him a dumb ass. In fact I think I just did.

Once you understand that and the fact that you'll always be in the wrong, things'll be fine.
