Tonight I got a bit of a wiggle on and tried to get the bow finished… I nearly made it! I only really have the arm guards to paint in the appropriate colour. I did consider painting them all the same one, but in the end decided to let them match the body armour.
As can be seen I have also started on the green armoured Samurai foot. They are all in their clothing and armour colour. I did have a bit of a problem working out which green I used on the cavalry. The conclusion I have come to is that they have had two lawyers of the ork flesh green.
I was very excited to find a couple of parcels waiting for me when I came in for lunch.
First up…
My ancient GW ones apart from the shining silver are pretty much shot. If I put them on a shaker for about an hour they might revive, but I thought I would give these a go… so a nice parcel to get.
The second one was extremely disappointing…
This was my resin… and err I don’t think the mixing cups made it!
Thankfully the resin, although squashed was not damaged. I have asked the seller for some more cups as I think the measurements up the side will be most useful. thankfully it was just some plastic cups, it could have been a whole lot worse!
Tomorrow I hope to carry on with the Samurai. The printer is chuntering away with more Samurai terrain so I will need to make a start on that soon.

I have about half of those AP metallic paints. I like them very much, but don’t thin them with water, a little acrylic medium if needed, but the results will be poor coverage.
As to the resin, if you have a decent digital scale that is the way to go, in the is case weight is more accurate than volume.

Will be interested to see how you get on with the resin.

Those metallic paints look very nice.
Shame about the delivery- how much longer does post take to get to you up in the Shetland Islands?
Cheers,
Pete.

Those archers are looking sharp! I hope you like your new Army Painter paints. GW’s metallic paints can be a real chore to work with so hopefully the new ones are easy to use and look great on your models.
