The prep work continues

 So this week I ‘ave mostly been prepping! Anyone in the UK reading this remember The Fast Show? Anyway, the less fun side of things is getting new units and models prepped for painting. For all you visually stimulated ADHD’ers out there here are the photos somewhat prematurely.

I am now ready for the painting to continue over the weekend and next week. I envision these will take approx. two weeks to complete. Then it’s just the Murid cavalry left - forty eight cavalry in all. Oh and the C-in-C group/mini-diorama. Oh and the baggage/camp mini-diorama etc. I estimate about four weeks work in total. All other things being equal. 

Now for some light entertainment. When at the painting desk in the new luxury, purpose built, gaming shed - see photo at end, I like to listen to audio books. One of my favourite series of this year has been a literature RPG (commonly referred to as litrpg apparently). It is called Dungeon Crawler Carl series by Matt Dinniman and ready by Jeff Hayes/Soundbooth Theatre. Now I find most litrpg to be, let’s be kind and say, less than excellent. However, the Dungeon Crawler Carl series is in a league of its own. It’s brilliant, funny, entertaining, wonderfully woven, with a unique cast of characters, hilarious, and at time heart wrenching.

 If you like Sci-fi combined with a fantasy dungeon crawl with hilarious results then this could well be your thing. Don’t judge the book by its name - I mean I quite like the name of the series, it’s very Ronseal (it does exactly what it says on the tin)! Jeff Hayes is a genius voice actor - he does a lot of the voices himself. You have to hear it to disbelieve it’s all the same guy! And the new book is out, and the new audio book version is due out beginning of September. However, be warned, it is definitely an adult series. 

So, if you are still reading and paying attention (God bless you, yes you!), how do you paint your Cream Eggs? What do you listen to? Or watch?
