Managed another four hours of work last night, finishing Mr. G's merry band and the snout aliens. As the Dark Earth had run out and Brown earth was running seriously low, the snout aliens were transformed into dester dwellers with Sandy Paste.

This I cleared everything off the desk, so it was time to start cleaning more figures. I managed to scrape two new platoons of scifi troopers who will be getting primed later today. That still leaves 99 figures to do.

The first storage box is now full for all intents and purposes. I started filling the second one. After the project I'll divide them a little more sensibly, but for the time being this is a good way to keep all the project figures together. There will be a photoshoot for all of them in the end.

I also picked up my supplies restock. I won't be running out of Earthshade anytime soon. On the other hand, I tried to drybrush the bases using my GW Dry paints I bough a couple of years back. They're dried up and unusable! When I bought them I thought this was a pretty good idea, but apparently the execution is seriously lacking. Or maybe there's some truth in the nasty rumors about planned obsolesence of the GW paints after all... I have several pots of paint that are literally decades old and still fine, but this stuff spoils in a year or two in unopened jars!!! Premium products, yeah right...

On the ZZ front the story seems to be finally picking up the pace a little bit. Elpe Puru entered the picture and Haman is about to invade earth (always a good plan). Though I wonder how come there's gravity inside Axis given it doesn't spin like the colonies? Glemy Toto is also starting to grow on me. Haman's too uptight and Mashymre and Chara are just crackpots... though a lovable crackpot in the first case.

There's a lot about ZZ I don't really like that much, but at the end of the day it's still way better than Wing, the show that could have been good if they'd fired the stupid boy band on day one...
