The 500: Day 2

Dec 03, 2014 08:52

Yours truly faking painting. 

Note the beverage of the gods.

Feudal Muster Last night I picked up more primer and varnish and managed to work for about five hours. This is more than the usual 2-3 hours per night, but nothing really extraordinary. After finishing I watched a few episodes of Zeta Gundam to clear the palate.

I managed to get the men-at-arms (pictured) pretty much done, which isn't really that significant in numbers, but it clears the desk for other stuff. I'll just finish basing tonight and then they're done.

Armed with the new primer, I also primed the 80 troopers and 25 APCs. I'll be starting them tonight. And there's also the Apaches and the Mexicans.

Something a little more important today. I really didn't plan for this, but when someone offered to donate money to charity if I can make, I thought what the heck, let's do this.

Last time I tried to do a charity event, there was an outbreak of Ebola. Back then, the Red Cross was not collecting money for the cause. I guess enough Europeans hadn't gotten the bug...

But this time around they are doing something about it.

Red Cross Ebola Campaign

Here's how this is going to work:

- First of all: DO NOT send me any money.

- Send me the amount you pledge to donate if I make it. Put it in the comments, use the feedback form, email, whatever. I'll post the updated total amount in the daily blog entries.

- If I manage to paint all the 500 models before 2015, handle the donation directly with Red Cross.

Figures remaining: 500

Total pledges: 10 GBP

You really are mad. :-)

I'm not pledging any money, but I'm wishing you a lots of good luck with your task...

Count me in! Absolutely great idea, so I go for ten (10) GPB. Need instructions later.

Thanks! maxxon Dec 10, 2014 08:28

No worries, I'll post a brief summary once we are done.
