Hobby Update

I haven’t really accomplished as much as I would like on the hobby front in the past week or so.  My problems are many.  I thought I would be able to get both of my heavy jacks done in a week.  I was delusional.  I am way too detail oriented and quite frankly anal, to rush through the jobs in order to get them both done in a week.  Secondly, I got busy around the house and was crossing things off of the honey do list, which is never conducive to hobby time.  Lastly, I got side tracked.

Cats wreck everything you love, then tell you to F-off.
My little side adventure involved photography.  I decided to break out the old light box and take a few pictures of the two Retribution minis I had finished.  On a side note, my lightbox suffered from a cat thinking it should be able to walk across tissue paper.  He was misinformed.  From there, I decided to take few pictures of the Menoth models I had finished but never photographed.  That was the better part of an afternoon pissed away.  However, I was not happy with burning an afternoon.  My path meandered toward Lightroom to do some post processing on the pictures to see what I could accomplish.  I managed to get them looking mostly like I had envisioned.  Mission accomplished.  Welllllllll, at least until I decided to play around with Photoshop Elements.  Photoshop came with my computer and I had never taken the time learn how it worked.  What a perfect time to learn a new program.  That whole Journeyman thing will probably take care of itself.  Right?
Anyway, here is what I managed to accomplish over the weekend and the beginning of the week.  It’s a damn good thing that I’m running the league and can’t win anyway.  At least I have an excuse for being rubbish.
