Two Minis, 90 Minutes

I was fortunate to have a lot of folks I know help me out on the recent Goalsystem Delves Kickstarter we ran. Some of them were colleagues in the large public library system I work in, and don't game regularly or know much about gaming. Two of these folks, Don and Wes, each pledged for a single miniature. Small pledges, but important nonetheless for us to maintain momentum and continue adding backers.


Yesterday morning I had some time before work and I went to pack up their minis for inter-office mailing, and I just could not do it.  I could not send these two guys I know so well and work with unpainted metal. What would they do with them?  Throw them in a drawer?  Anyway, I had 90 minutes before catching the train to work, so I resolved to speed paint these two figures (the Half-Orc Monk and the male Halfling Adventurer) to the best of my ability and let the chips fall where they may.

I wanted them to have figures they'd be proud to display on their computers or a book shelf. Anyway, I am pretty pleased with what I got done in 90 minutes.

Not bad for starting with un-based, un-primed, bare metal, huh?  One of my most effective tactics is having a small fan right next to my painting station. This allows me to dry stuff quickly between stages.

Anyway, I've painted these figs so often (maybe 5 times?) in the last 3 months I could probably paint them blindfolded!

Thanks for visiting!
