Day 19

Still haven't gotten serious about painting, but I'm close. Doesn't help that my Blazing Orange is dried out and the red ink has that weird effect when ink goes bad where it wicks to the top of every surface rather than hitting the crevices... Looks like I can't replace these for a couple more days; lame-assed Compleat Strategist closes at 7 every day except for Wednesday. They'll probably be out of the paint I need anyway.

Anyway, here's the solution to yeterday's dilemma:

2/3 eye and 1/3 lid seems to work really well, and I think I can do this pretty consistently on all but a few of the models.


I did mess with some colors for the bases... I really wanted to use the "ballast" I've had sitting around for years, but it may be too close to the squig color to give me the effect I want. Check out what I mean below.. Oh, and don't worry, that's a fast and nasty paint job on the squiglings just to get an idea what I'm working with. I didn't post any squigling pics before, basically because they are just rocks with eyes and legs.

Hmm. The pics are awfully small, but it's late and I'm lazy.
