Roundup - april 5
Uuuuuuugh. I have a cold/cough and may actually be dying. Tbh I have done nothing this week except watch Marvel shows on Netflix and attend one DnD meeting which ending in the coughing fit to end all coughing fits.
Has anyone made any progress this week?




oh noooooooooo colds suck! hopefully you feel better soon :)
Thanks :( it's already getting better some, so I'm planning to get some sewing done this week
It's easy to feel guilty when being sick impacts your productivity, but the fastest way to recover is to rest and sleep as much as possible. Hope you feel better soon!
My 10min/day plan continues to pay off. Multiple project update time!
Ghostbusters: I've finished all the repairs except for the painting. \o/ I have some improvements I'd like to do to the packs, but those are low priority since they look just fine without them.
Tron: I think I'm finished the painting on the smaller shoulder. I also mixed more paint. Despite being super careful, I think I mixed it a hair too dark, and I ran out of white, so I'll have to buy more if I decide to lighten it a bit. Fortunately, I haven't used the new mix yet. I've always been a bit unsatisfied with the diffusion/color system I have for the lighting, so I went and got some glass paint and tried that out on samples, but the system I have figured is still better. I don't think I can improve it unless I have someone custom make plexiglas, at this point, so I'm just gonna go with it. It's easy to rip out and reinstall those parts later, if I find something amazing.
Red Paladin Sword: Allllllmost done with the beveling. The outside beveling is 95% done, but I checked my reference and there's a bit more internal detail beveling than I recalled. Additional marks have been made on the foam. :D
Red Paladin itself: I did the worbla forming for the first piece of one of the gloves... and decided the foam was shaped wrong, so I need to re-cut the foam and worbla and do it again.
