WIP: MACH-3

I'm not calling this done, because it's not sealed and every time I look at it it needs more silver and it's too cold to spraypaint anything. But here's MACH-III, in an advanced WIP form... that is to say, almost done.



I was at a gaming store today, the Compleat Strategist in Falls Church, VA, picking up some Heroclix for a game this weekend. I heard a familiar sound, and looked up to see the clerk shaking a can of spray paint. He left us in the store, walked outside with a shoebox in one hand, and sprayed a basecoat on some miniatures. So:

A) It's not too cold to spray, or, at the very least, I'll get to seal this stuff soon.

B) That was an awesome spray setup, I'll have to adopt it. Action figure customizers are always having to leave their figures outside, and once somebody's Toad got stolen, I read it on Internet.

C) There's been a real change in the management at Compleat Strategist since I was there last, at least three years ago. You can tell because my story featured a clerk that stood up, quickly moved outside, then rejoined us in the store. Far too much movement than what I was used to. Last time I got the most morbidly obese of a truely epic set of hobby store clerks. I never saw the guy get up, and he, rather amazingly when I recall it, hammered out my order on the cash register using a typing cane.

Anyway, bravo, Compleat Strategist, and I need a shoebox post haste.
