Not more zombies I hear you cry….

Yep afraid so.

I ran into a bit of a problem with these last night. The red would just not cover effectively; this was after me coming down with repetitive strain injury shaking the bottle.

I went back to the old tried and tested method… make a nice pastel shade (in this case pink) and then cover with the required colour.

It worked a treat and red cuffs and helmet crests are a nice vibrant red.

However, looking at the pink, it did look rather good.  If I hadn’t already painted my units in blue I would have gone with the pink.

The other thing I managed to do was to fix this resin figure.

He was one from my mate’s collection and painted by Alternative Armies. He had snapped off at the ankles.

It wasn’t just a case of superglue him back on as he was leaning at a bit of a funny angle. Therefore, I resorted to superglue and Bicarbonate of soda.

Luckily, I had a useful assistant who could lob the soda onto the superglue as I held the model in an appropriate position. The soda reacts instantly with the superglue leading to a hard, almost plastic bond. As it was his ankle, I did not file it down, as I wanted a larger surface area to hold together. Luckily, it looked like he had a bit of a raggedy bottom to his trousers.

With having to shake the paint bottle so much I am seriously considering one of these nail polish shakers!
