Prepuary

I always tell people the best way to have a successful NaMoPaiMo is to start February with a fully prepped and primed model.

Sometimes I even follow my own advice.

Sometimes, but not usually.

More often than not, my model is this close to being done, but not actually done.

Heh.

This year my model was ready to paint before January 1. A miracle.

My side project is also prepped. He's been done for more than a week.

You would think that's more than enough prepping, but then I thought maybe I would join Tegan Davis' liver chestnut pastel workshop. After all, I have the perfect pony for it. She just needed to be stripped.

The stripping itself went well.

However, she's an older Eberl so I was sad but not super surprised to find a big mess under what was, in retrospect, a suspiciously thick coat of primer.

The road goes on forever and the prepping never ends.

So anyway, I'm spending the second half of January the way I always spend the second half of January: Prepping a model horse.
