    I've added some rust to my troll. Many people on the web site, The One-Ring, said that the armour was far too bright for a troll. I think the extra rust came out very well, I think it looks better than before. :)

    I haven't done much more because reparing it took quite a while.

    Stuff 2 :p
    Two days ago, I dropped my Troll Chieftain onto the wooden floor of my bedroom (accidentally). I was feeling kinda down, and particularly unenthusiastic about how the paint-job on my troll when I did it. I didn't really feel too bad about it. But afterwards it kinda sunk in - how much work had been ruined, I could hardly sleep. Even the nut that connects the display base to the gaming base had broken off, despite all the greenstuff I had used to put it on. I had been too unhappy about it to come and write until now. Though, "Pain is temporary but art is forever" so, I'll get over it. Well I guess I'm okay again 'cause now it's back together and looking great. I've "puttied up" the gaps, pinned some extra joints, including the ones that broke, and I think that he's in a more upright position now too. I'm really happy about the way that the paintings going, but I've got a bit of a headache at the moment, so I might kill a few helpless souls on San Andreas before I get back to it. Here are some pics of the disaster (I only had my video camera at hand when it broke so the pics are really bad quality, and the painting doesn't look very good in them because of it):

    I'll take a good pic to show how he's going, but it's late now, the light isn't right, and my dad hasn't printed out the right background for the pic yet. I'll post a pic of how he's going tomorrow, then. :)

    Cya,

    Stuff
    It's the summer holidays for us, and it ain't too great. I've got coursework to sort out, come on... coursework in the summer holidays - teachers are evil. And I haven't been able to get to sleep because I've been getting up too late and so I have loads of energy, and don't tell me to get up earlier 'cause I just can't - I have no will power in the morning, I'm a different person. So I end up playing GTA San Andreas (doing nothing on it basically) 'till about half 3 each night. I want to be able to see the morning light, dammit! And to top it off, my mum has just started her summer hols and I know I'm in for 3 weeks of depressing nagging. I know it sounds evil not being happy that someone has holidays, but she really gets me down.

    Anyway, I've been working on a new miniature too, for golden demon (national miniature painting comp). And I just can't help thinking about it loads. The mini's going pretty well though. But I keep looking at it and thinking: "it's crap, what am I doing..." Ah well, it will hopefully look good once I've finished it.
