December in Review

The pandemic continues. Work has been slammed, especially as my boss and I are trying to get things wrapped up before I take my paternity leave. The holiday was quiet. Not being able to see family and friends puts a damper on things, and the little one is too small to get what’s going on. I didn’t get a tree or even a wreath. 

I did get a bunch more time to watch things, and a surprising amount of hobby time. 

Gaming

All gaming is on pause. With the arrival of my son, there just isn’t the time or the energy. I haven't even had the brain power to write up session reports... need to get back to that. 

Miniatures

This has been a surprisingly productive month. I finished Father Christmas, as well as the chronoscope Bones minis Cyber Troll and Space Henchman, and got a solid start on a few other figures in anticipation of Stargrave in April. 

3 minis might not sound like a lot, and really, it isn’t. However I also built a cardboard spaceship. As I write this, the primer coat is drying on it, and painting will commence soon!
