Lots of excuses as to why I have not posted lately, nor even touched any miniatures at all in the last couple months. (Taxes, Birthdays, selling on Ebay, weather etc.)
Here is a more substantial one: Vision.
For the last six months or so, I have had difficulty focusing on objects within arms reach... which is to say painting and modeling range. To manage it I would have to take off my glasses, and without them on bring said object closer and squint at it with one eye. Naturally this is a fairly limiting practice!
A couple of weeks ago I got new glasses with progressive lenses, which I have had some difficulties adjusting to. I think that I am ranged in enough now that I can paint miniatures, although I have been working up to it with some terrain work.
I do however have a number of projects at the stage where they are nearly ready to post about, so I only need to get my rear in to gear and... do it. Hopefully before we get into the busy part of the early Summer.
