11/5/14- I finally got my Plastic Black Primer & today is
warming up nicely so I can finish Stage 2 Base Coating today.
My tool room should be warm enough in about 2 hrs to
start.

Meanwhile I'm checking out my assembled paints against
the SoB Miniature pictures to see what I need. I have
the 2 War Paint SoB sets which will probably have most
of what I need but I'm sure I be using some of my GW
& Reaper paints as well.

I enjoy painting but I dislike figuring out which colors
to use. I can dither all kinds of time away trying to
sort out color schemes ,that's why I'm sticking to
doing the figs the same way FFP has done theirs.

" I'm going to the Market; do you think the grass needs a final cutting?"
"No dear it's fine"
" I think it needs cutting"
"Yes dear, I'll do it while your at the market"
(after 50 years of marriage you know the ones your gonna loose)

Anyway both the grass & the base coating is done but I'll need to flip
most of the figs. to get their underparts. The 8 Heroes are however
ready to go.

Finally all the base coating is done (the Slashers due to their pose were
a tad difficult) of course when I get ready to paint I usually find something
that needs a touch up.

I sort of feel the pressure is off now with all the figs. ready to go up in
my paint room. Now I just need to figure out where I want to start
& set some sort of schedule. This will be the first big project I'm
doing since I retired so I may want to revise my usual 20-30 minutes
for week days & 90 minutes on week-ends.

I also realized that I never included the Other variant Monsters
(Bog Bats/Swamp Slasher/ Snow Terrors/ Ancient Spiders) in
The Brimstone Mine Users Guide so I added them in their appropriate
Portal World.
