Life According to Duck

Ok, so it's been WAY too long since I've written anything on my blog. Frankly, summer has been a crazy and eventful time of year so far, and I just haven't felt any particular urge to write about it.

That said, I heard a bit of news on the radio today that, while upsetting, just made me realize how good we have it here.

Yesterday, the City of St. Catherines experienced its first homicide of the year. Just a few days shy of August, and there's only been ONE murder in a city with a metropolitan population of over 300,000.

I don't think I'll lose any sleep tonight.

MiniWarGamer Dave dropped into the office yesterday. While this is not entirely uncommon, especially for a Wednesday, what took place after that point was. He happened to notice (ok, I gloatingly showed off) my recent Necron Wraith Lord conversion. I honestly didn't expect the conversion to go as well as it did, and as a result I didn't take any photos while I was working on it.

Luckily, Dave came to the rescue. After an unexpected interview with yours truly, he put together a great video detailing how I pulled off the conversion.

Anyhow, you can watch the whole thing on YouTube. Or I might be nice and let you see it right here...

I've got a new article up at MiniWarGaming; this time, discussing a Painting Technique called Blending. Basically, you apply consecutive layers of really watered down paint over an area to slowly build a fade from one colour to another.

Though I've demonstrated this on a Necron Gauss-weapon Rod, there's all sorts of ways this technique can be used. Anyhow, check it out!

I found myself a bit peckish after getting back from walking Callie, and decided that I really wanted a Peanut Butter Sandwich. I went to the fridge to get myself some Milk, and noticed I had half of a ripe Avacado sitting on the top shelf.

A few minutes later, my intended peanut butter sandwich became a small bowl of homemade Guacamole instead. No, I don't understand how my mind works either. I'll provide the recipe sometime though - it's deceptively simple.

On a more sane note, I've got another article up at MiniWarGaming.com, this time a detail of the Necron Summoning Core I've started building. This is my first piece of Terrain, so be gentle

Akismet just caught my first piece of comment Spam today. My blog is now officially good enough to be targetted by spammers.

For some odd reason, I'm actually happy about this. I feel like I've grown up a little.
