I Love IT!

Older son stuck his head in the crap room last night and wanted to know if I had any paint for his warhammer figures. These are itty bitty guys that all come as a single gray color and while, the son hasn't played a game of warhammer in quite sometime, he still likes painting the men.

Well all I have are watercolors and acrylics, neither of which would work and then I had a brain storm and pulled out my Lumin Arte polished pigments and the accompanying fluids that go with them and then handed over a fistful of the best fine brushes I ever found with big rubberized grips and costs a whole twenty five cents each!

I checked in with him before I came to work to see if the pigments with the fluid worked on his guys and before I could even ask, I saw them sitting there shining. He was using beer bottlecaps to hold the mixture and had the reading lamp I got him for Christmas clamped to the tray table giving him his own spotlight to work in.

He told me how great the stuff was, how little of the pigments he had to use to get great coverage and then told me a story....

Seems he liked his results so much that he went next door to show a friend who also plays warhammer. While he was there a second warhammer friend showed up and the second friend was gobsmacked to see the little guy thing shining. Then he protested that since the whatevers lived in caves, they shouldn't shine like that. Ah.... but he didn't reckon with the Graff imagination. Josh told the friend that since his whatevers lived in caves and raised spiders that their tunics were made of spider silk and since they all lived in darkness the spider's silk was bioluminescent and therefore the whatevers could see in the dark caves. The friend mulled it over for a bit and just as he was ready to accept the story Josh admitted that he had pulled the whole thing out of his ass and had made it up. It had all sounded plausible that I even bought it until I saw that grin on Josh's face. His shit eatin gtin we call it. I do so love having him living at home with us, bioluminescent whatevers and all.
