The reason I haven&#8217;t had much to show this year is that I&#8217;ve spent easily 70% of my modeling time between March and October of this year working on a single large project. It represents the bulk of my productive output in 2013, but I didn&#8217;t want to reveal it until it was completely finished. I originally thought it would be done in May, then amended that to August, and then Christmas. It was finally looking like I would meet that last deadline, and then&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>I burned it.<\/p>\n<p>Well, not the whole thing. But about 30% of the Fimo project&#8217;s work to date was baked too hot and destroyed, and I&#8217;ve been too depressed to restart that component just yet. As such, I&#8217;ve deferred any further work on the project to 2014, and am using my time to work on holiday projects instead. As a result, I&#8217;ll have at least three projects to show you in December, including a holiday-themed conversion, a terrain project that I&#8217;ll be lugging down to Templecon this coming February, and finally, flat-out the best model I have ever sculpted. All three projects are in various stages of completion, and I expect to have all of them posted up by the end of December.<\/p>\n<p>Next, I&#8217;m building an entirely new, heavily converted 50pt army to bring to Templecon, and I&#8217;ll post some updates on that during January.<\/p>\n<p>And then, after all of that is done, I can hopefully work up the courage to rebuild what I ruined and finish the 12-Month Sculpting Project From Hell.<\/p>\n<p>I promise it&#8217;ll be cool when it&#8217;s done, though. Maybe not worth a year&#8217;s wait, but definitely cool nonetheless. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<h2>-Spud<\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>First up: YAAAAAY CHRISTMAS GRAPHICS!
