This is my fabulous Bolt Thrower, painted in the colours of the King’s House – red, white, and gold. Of Gondolin. My only complaint is that – see all that shiny gold armour? It doesn’t count in battle! Talk
I have green hair
about WYSIWYG*! Non-existant! But, I like the colour scheme very much. Thank you, Tolkien!
My other complaint is that the crew got stolen at the same time as Glorfindel on Asfaloth… Did I mention that the guy who took them went and locked them in his desk during March Break? So Dad figured it out during the first couple of days of March Break, and then I couldn’t get them back for a while. Grr. At least they weren’t restolen by some yahoo at whatever school that was. Then I would never have gotten them back. Also, he scraped all the gems off very deliberately. (sigh) He obviously had no idea how much effort it took to paint those.
Again, if they were plastic, I would have gotten them back as dust, so I’m lucky.
Tuesday… Kevin’s braces came off! Yay! Also, we went birdwatching at a bog, and I got my shoulders sunburned. Oh, well. I value my paper-white skin – because I think it looks nice – but it will get whited-out again next winter. I’ll never be able to get a pretty tan the way those beach bunnies in my how-to-draw-manga book do, so who cares? I saw a purple-and-green swallow!
That reminds me – the other day at the duck pond at the golf course, there were swallows flitting around like beautiful, graceful waterbugs. Pretty.
*WYSIWYG: What you see is what you get.
