Forgive the post title. That would be me reaching for a dad joke to break the ice after a long silence. That said, it is most definitely July. It’s been a bit. Life happens and routines get lost to time. Thus, this overdue update sneaks in to catch up on a few things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

July Painting Progress<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When I last posted<\/a>, I was just starting on some 28mm British Airborne models. Two hundred models by the end of March would stall on me a bit. Various things took the wind from my “painting sails”, but I am still going! April and May were both slow months in this regard. As I compose this update, however, I am at a grand total of 296 painted miniatures in 2022. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the British Airborne finished in the first week of July, I pushed on to other miniatures. I have found that bouncing from bulk painting of groups to individual models helps me keep up a decent pace. The issue with the Airborne troops was that I started painting them in small groups. I changed my tactic and started painting parts instead of miniatures. The assembly line focus of just berets or helmets or camouflage really pushed things along.<\/p>\n\n\n

Photography<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To be honest, things have been slow. I’ve got some material to share and will soon. If you follow me on Instagram or Facebook, you may have seen some of it. One reason I have been “away” is a series of power surges damaging a RAID drive I use for one level of backup. It took a bit more time than I would like to recover my solid footing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The worst part of that incident? I had just started work on a new editing concept. I was on a roll. That is when this stuff always happens! But, the new concept is intact and I am continuing to play with it. I’ll share more at a later date.<\/p>\n\n\n

I Suppose I Am Back<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I am going to work on getting back into the usual Tuesday\/Thursday update cycle. If you would like to be a part of the fun, I’m looking for models for the new editing concept and for general content. Find me on social media or send me an email<\/a>. Let me know what I can shoot for you and let’s see if we can make something work for both of us! I am, of course, available for hire: Headshots, products, and modeling portfolios top the list.<\/p>\n\n\n
