Hoping to do some painting tonight for the first time in a while, already got the window open and the curtains drawn on the "hobby room" to keep it as cool as possible through the day. If the wind stays down I may end up relocating outside to the shade this evening instead :|

Way too hot to paint at the minute, as it would almost dry on the brush before you got it close to any miniatures.

You're not far wrong. Even my wet palette can barely keep it from drying up for more than a few mins!

Just bronze, white and finishing off/tidying up on the current batch.
Then basing flags to sort

Opposite problem here, noon and it hasn't reach double figures, Celsius, outside yet

Finally the weather has broken and cooled down to a lovely level, after 7 days in a row of 30C temps across the UK :).

Which UK is that then? :)

Hasn't been that hot once let alone days in a row here. Has been, and continues to be, a nice comfortable mid to high twenties. Apparently not going to last :(

Realised two more figures would fill out a command stand, so they got painted today.

Lovely week away at my Dad's
Then last night and today:
1) Two Goth archer tugs assembled for a commission.
ii) Many 28mm Sappeurs built for that commission.
C) Lot of spaceship fighters finally put onto bases (some go back to 2007) for Wednesday night's game of A Billion Suns.
3.2) Three jump gates assembled for above.
iv) Many Stargrave figures built for me, some needed a little of pinning and filling.
E) Awful lot of Mortal Gods assembled, drilled, pinned, and bases sculpted, for yet another commission.
7) Undercoat applied.

Meanwhile, my eldest has been dry brushing two units of Legion Clone Troopers!
