Ok that's not so much true, on Monday I used that extra spare time to help a friend to fix a roof, on Thuesday assemble the rollator for my mum and on Wednesday, well on Wednesday kids were back for one day, just to be gone today for another campground.
Of course, the daily job of writing templates for electronic papers, finding bugs in swing event queues, and helping with a quotation for a new contract, so that reduced the amount of actual 3d work from again back to 3–4hrs in the evening. I really should try to move it to early morning instead.

I was not able to keep my brushed away from those and already started painting, because I wanted to know how hard it would be — and those first 4 are ok — the “benchmark” was the red stripe. That's just the base colors, additional details, no wash, no drybrush. Just one go with the color, and you can still see all the crisp details, aren’t you?
