Over the weekend I managed to get two of the three shelves installed, with the location for the holes marked for the last one. I'm really happy with how it's looking and it is definitely helping to open up my work space.
The next step is going to be... three more shelves! Originally I'd planned on putting three 6' shelves over my painting space, but instead I opted for three 3' shelves along a wall next to it instead. That particular wall has a window in the middle of it so I'm going to put three 4' shelves on that other side of the window. Overall more real estate for placing things and I think it is going to look nicer than the original plan as well.
That wasn't all I managed to get accomplished over the weekend though. I also made another mini for one of our companions in the long running 5e Out of the Abyss campaign we are still playing. Yep, you read that right. I made this mini. Introducing Globby!
Globby with my old gnome character Kremermesh Mommanpople for scale |
Globby (aka Glabbagool) is a sentient gelatinous cube that we encountered, and we befriended him... her... it... by telling it stories. We thought he had gone off to explore the wide world of the Underdark but he happened to show up in Gracklstugh.
Globby is made from some clear plastic sheets cut into 2" x 2" squares and then hot glued together. To give him the oozy look, I went over him with more hot glue, pulling the gun down to the base to give it the appropriate drippy look. And what's even cooler?
Not the clearest picture but you get the idea... |
That's right! He glows in the dark! Completely unnecessary but when I saw the glow in the dark glue sticks, I just had to do it!
As for what's next... I haven't decided yet. I need to get the last shelf up, then I want to dive back into my pile of unpainted minis to see what speaks to me next. Plus I'm thinking about seal some of my older minis that are going up onto the shelf just for good measure, in which case I might have to set up the light box and take some pictures of them. Until next time...
