I’m trying to do something restful, something that will take my mind off the headache. So, seeing as I want to try some D&D soon, I thought I’d paint some miniatures.

Out come the paints, the geeky paint station, the brushes and files, and epoxy glue. It takes time and I’m little more than an enthusiastic amateur, so the end result is never going to win any competitions.

Indeed, I envy those who have spent the time honing they’re craft and can recreate the Mona Lisa on a 1cm diameter shield without breaking a sweat. When White Dwarf published the annual Golden Demon award supplement with miniature masterworks by the score, I gaze in wonder.

Anyway, I’ll just do the best I can and glean a moment of calm from the experience. That’ll do just fine for me.
