&lt;p&gt;In the first of two painting contests/competitions/events I entered this month, I took a very important first step: I misread the event date and immediately started working on something else.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>202060407 New Theme</title><link>https://blog.floppy.parts/posts/20260407-new-theme/</link><pubDate>Tue, 07 Apr 2026 07:00:59 -0500</pubDate><guid>https://blog.floppy.parts/posts/20260407-new-theme/</guid><description>&lt;h1 id="new-theme-who-dis"&gt;New Theme, Who Dis&lt;/h1&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It&amp;rsquo;s everyone&amp;rsquo;s favorite day of the month! Where I tell you how I spent my time.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>20260328 My New Single</title><link>https://blog.floppy.parts/posts/20260328-my-new-single/</link><pubDate>Sat, 28 Mar 2026 15:25:23 -0500</pubDate><guid>https://blog.floppy.parts/posts/20260328-my-new-single/</guid><description>&lt;h1 id="my-new-single-my-new-single-is-dropping-is-dropping"&gt;My New Single &amp;ldquo;My New Single Is Dropping&amp;rdquo; Is Dropping&lt;/h1&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This was truely the month of &amp;ldquo;what can I do in order to not have to paint Forgeworld models?&amp;rdquo; The answer is, a lot of little things.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>20260207 Floppy Parts 1</title><link>https://blog.floppy.parts/posts/20260207-floppyparts1/</link><pubDate>Sat, 07 Feb 2026 08:50:20 -0600</pubDate><guid>https://blog.floppy.parts/posts/20260207-floppyparts1/</guid><description>&lt;h1 id="were-so-back"&gt;We&amp;rsquo;re so back&lt;/h1&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Turns out I was able to crank out one more painted model during a conference call.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>20260129 Jan Wrap Up</title><link>https://blog.floppy.parts/posts/20260129-jan-wrap-up/</link><pubDate>Thu, 29 Jan 2026 07:09:17 -0600</pubDate><guid>https://blog.floppy.parts/posts/20260129-jan-wrap-up/</guid><description>&lt;h1 id="january-monthly-painting-wrap-up"&gt;January Monthly Painting Wrap Up&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I admit I&amp;rsquo;m writing this a little before the end of the month, but I&amp;rsquo;m also realistic I&amp;rsquo;m not going to finish anything new in the next two days. The first month of &amp;ldquo;no buy, all paint&amp;rdquo; 2026 was off to a good start.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>20260121 WUB W1</title><link>https://blog.floppy.parts/posts/20260121-wub-w1/</link><pubDate>Wed, 21 Jan 2026 13:21:01 -0600</pubDate><guid>https://blog.floppy.parts/posts/20260121-wub-w1/</guid><description>&lt;h1 id="weekly-update-bulletin---week-1"&gt;Weekly Update Bulletin - Week 1&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Week one is in the books. Or in the bowl?&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>20260118 End of the Line</title><link>https://blog.floppy.parts/posts/20260118-end-of-the-line/</link><pubDate>Sat, 17 Jan 2026 17:35:43 -0600</pubDate><guid>https://blog.floppy.parts/posts/20260118-end-of-the-line/</guid><description>&lt;h1 id="end-of-the-lineplayers"&gt;End of the line(players)&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And with these final two, numbers 15 and 16, I finish the linesplayers for the Skaville Skablins. Which leads me to only have specialist positionals to work on now. Probably starting with the bomber, but don&amp;rsquo;t hold me to that.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It is also here where I realized my terrible mistake in team-building. I haven&amp;rsquo;t actually played my first game yet, but I realized my team has 3 secret weapons players and only 3 bribes to start with. So I can either play all my secret weapons for two drives and them lose them all, play 3 for one drive, then 1 for two more drives, then I&amp;rsquo;m down 3 players. It&amp;rsquo;s really a lesson learned on how to play Goblins that I&amp;rsquo;m learning the hard way. Oh well.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>20260109 First Blood</title><link>https://blog.floppy.parts/posts/20260109-first-blood/</link><pubDate>Fri, 09 Jan 2026 16:13:49 -0500</pubDate><guid>https://blog.floppy.parts/posts/20260109-first-blood/</guid><description>&lt;h3 id="unreal-tournament-voice"&gt;Unreal Tournament Voice&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;h1 id="first-blood-or-paint"&gt;First Blood (or paint)&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;At the end of December, I was really pumped to start painting immedately after the start of year so I could start racking up the points on my fake, made up paint points chart. I didn&amp;rsquo;t get a good start until I recovered from the &amp;lsquo;vid, which I contracted over the holiday.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But I finally got paint on models and put a few points up on the board. With the upcoming Blood Bowl League, all my attention right now is to paint the rest of the Skaville Skablins. So I finished up two goblin linesplayers for the Skaville Skablins, players number 13 and 14. They don&amp;rsquo;t currently have names as the starting lineup for the Skablins only goes up to player #11, but I&amp;rsquo;m painting all the linesplayers in anticipation of buying out all the available positions. Finishing number #14 means I have two more linesplayers to paint (#15 and #16) and then on to painting the specialist positionals. 10 down, 8 to go.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Wub0</title><link>https://blog.floppy.parts/posts/wub0/</link><pubDate>Thu, 08 Jan 2026 11:28:06 -0500</pubDate><guid>https://blog.floppy.parts/posts/wub0/</guid><description>&lt;h1 id="weekly-update-bulletin-week-0"&gt;Weekly Update Bulletin Week 0&lt;/h1&gt;</description></item><item><title>New Year New Site</title><link>https://blog.floppy.parts/posts/new-year-new-site/</link><pubDate>Thu, 01 Jan 2026 16:11:20 -0500</pubDate><guid>https://blog.floppy.parts/posts/new-year-new-site/</guid><description>&lt;h1 id="new-year-new-site-new-you"&gt;New Year, New Site, New You?&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I&amp;rsquo;m generally not one for New Year&amp;rsquo;s Resolutions, but this year I thought of one that might actually be keepable, and I&amp;rsquo;m putting it on the internet to hold me accountable.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id="the-problem"&gt;The Problem?&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;h6 id="miniatures"&gt;Miniatures&lt;/h6&gt;
&lt;p&gt;That&amp;rsquo;s right, I&amp;rsquo;m not buying &lt;em&gt;any&lt;/em&gt; miniatures in the year 2026. But there&amp;rsquo;s already two caveats to this rule:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;3d printing miniatures doesn&amp;rsquo;t count.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;If I sell miniatures I currently have, I can use that money to buy miniatures. Or make trades with my current kits. Net-zero and all that.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I find myself bouncing from project to project a lot, so I would like to think this will force me to work through my Pile(s) of Shame, which is as follows:&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Floppy Parts Is Back on the Menu</title><link>https://blog.floppy.parts/posts/floppy-parts-is-back-on-the-menu/</link><pubDate>Tue, 30 Dec 2025 15:09:37 -0500</pubDate><guid>https://blog.floppy.parts/posts/floppy-parts-is-back-on-the-menu/</guid><description>&lt;h2 id="were-so-back"&gt;We&amp;rsquo;re So Back&lt;/h2&gt;
