From JohnM: AHPC IX Wrap Up

A photograph taken just 2 weeks ago showing a somewhat perplexed me as it is just starting to dawn on me that we had just played the 2 initial scenarios from the CoC Von Luck campaign and had totally screwed them up. This frequently happens to me, especially when I have been working the night before and have had 4 hours of sleep. I believe I would be better off if I drank!

As requested here is a photo of myself, but unfortunately not posed in front of my collective contribution to the AHPC IX.

I will offer a long and complex explanation on why I have not done what I was supposed to have done (anyone who knows me though will appreciate that I have a long history of not doing what I am supposed to do).

First: I have a very specific post painting figure process. All figures once photographed are immediately covered in gloss polyurethane and left for a couple of months to harden and than have a matt polyurethane applied when it is nice outside.

Second: I can not photograph glossy figures as they look sort of sh___y.

Third: All the terrain and figures once polyurethaned get immediately packed away in specialised drawers and then placed in cabinets but unfortunately I am never really sure where they are as I have a lot of drawers and cabinets. I just can not find them again.

Fourth: I am going away for 3 weeks on Tuesday so my wife says I have to have everything packed away and tidy before we go away. So I am not allowed to retrieve what I have done even if I could find things.

Fifth: I hate photographing miniatures.

Sixth: I think the whole point of Curt's final request for this specific post is a cunning maneuver to reveal what we look like rather than to demonstrate our modelling or painting prowess.

Seventh: One, I suppose, could just conclude I am too lazy to do what is requested of me, but really if this was the case why would I spend so much time constructing such an elaborate series of reasons on why I have not done it...........................
