Things have calmed down. The basement is dry, although some items are still drying out. The new pump is resting nicely where it belongs, and with the nice weather for a day or two, I got some much-need yardwork done.
That doesn't mean I didn't spend time on the workbench, although more time was spent with the kids painting at the dining room table.
First off is some Easter Egg Terrain.
Maja was off at a hockey game with Mom, so I got Millie to paint up the gold one. I had a heckuva time gluing the bottle cap and the bottom of the egg together. No superglue would work, so I ended up using Elmer's, prayer, and a few layers of primer, paint, and sealant. So far, so good.
Despite their suggestion for using liquid latex for rivets, I found an alternative using tiny sprinkles, just didn't have the time to find them in a supermarket.
These two items (plus a third if Maja finds the time) will play a prominent part in our annual Easter game.
Finally, a quick sample of what I should be finishing up over the weekend. Here's the head chief of the Cult of the Ape God for our upcoming Pulp game.
I hope to have the entire cult finished up shortly, and then I can take a nice picture of my "Polynesian Army" with everything else I've painted up from Bob Murch.
