To Do List 3-10

Looking back on last week I was able to get the blitzers done rather quickly.  The next two weeks are pretty busy for me so I hope to get a lot done but I may not.  I think I will have all of the DoA players finished by the end of this month.  I need to work on their bases so I can get them pitch ready.

The next tournament I think I'll be attending is Headbanger's Ball IV.  Right now I'm planning on playing Underworld or Slann but I may debut the DoA at that tournament if they are done enough.  I have plans on making them the major player of my three rotating tournament teams.

Here is last weeks to do's:

To Do by 3-10-14
1.  Highlight and tattoo Tig. (Done)
2.  Highlight and tattoo Clay.  (Done)

To Do by 3-17-14

2.  Highlight and tattoo Half Sack.

Update 3-7: Blitzers

Progress.  The DoA are moving along quiet nicely now.  Last evening I finished up the highlight and tattoos on two more Dwarfs.  Clay and Tig have received there treatment and now I can move on to the runners.

I also did some work to the bases.  A friend of mine pointed out that the players were too tall with the base style I had picked.  He was right as they made my dwarfs the same height as a standard human linemen.  I decided to go down to one layer of cork so Big Otto has been de-based for the time being.

Here are Clay and Tig as they stand now:

 This model was designated as a runner by the manufacturer but he looked too tough.  I think Blitzer suits him better.

Update 3-6: Bobby Elvis

One more down.  Bobby Elvis has been highlighted and given his Elvis inspired accents.  I think the team is taking good form.  The miniatures that become players, the more excited I get to seeing them on the pitch.  This brings the total of players to four; Jax (Troll Slayer), Opie (Troll Slayer), Otto (Long Beard), and Bobby Elvis (Long Beard).

Just as a reminder here are the others.

To-Do List 3-3 and Update

So it has been a while since I did a To-Do List and I want to get back into it.  I feel like I've been doing well in the area of keeping up with a schedule but putting it in writing is a way to stay on track.  If I can keep up my current pace I should be finished with highlighting and tattooing of the DoA by April.

To Do by 3-10-14
1.  Highlight and tattoo Tig.
2.  Highlight and tattoo Clay.

Now to the update portion.  I highlighted and tattooed Opie.  He is the only shirtless and cut-less character so I decided to go for it and tattoo up his back, ie the SoA character of Opie.  Here he is.

I really like posting pictures here because I can see better what to correct.   When the team is done they will be better.
