Back with the Italian Wars

Yes, I got my flexible arqubusiers sorted today, only to find that I am short. It didn’t help that I got carried away doing ranked ones. The rules state 8 Pike and 8 guns. I reduced the size of the Pike to half size, but forgot with the arqubusiers…

They can be used in an army list so there is no loss there, plus I now have more pikes than I need so they could be used in that.

I am however, short four bases of skirmishers to cover the Landskecht Pike blocks. I will do some more tomorrow. I also need the base of Doppelsoldners for each one too. I will have to slice these and get them printed.

I took too long collecting the second lot from the drying off basket… All I can say is that I a glad it is flexible resin…

The straightish one is my first set which I cured after about an hour to get the ISO off… the others was about two days!

The British Take Shape

As it was my youngest’s birthday today, I didn’t get that much done. The new arqubusiers are still in the printer shed, and I will print the third set off before i spray them white.

I therefore looked at what needed doing on the Ironclads…

It is not really visible on the photo, but the Hull bottom is in fact black. I will carry on with these sometime soon. Hopefully I will get the 6mm stuff printed tomorrow and then undercoated.

Vampire and the Fop

Tonight I did a bit more on the vampire and the others on the strip with him…

I also managed to get some contrasting green in the cow bases…

Now in case you were wondering, I haven’t forgotten the 6mm Italian wars. I am in the process of printing some more arqubusiers in the flexible resin mix as some of the ones I was working with were snapping off at the ankles… same with some ifvthe artillery… I can see that I am hoing to have to make replacements in the future. I think I have printed off enough to get me a fair old way through what I need, but another plate ful wouldn’t go amiss.

A Speedy Post

A quick one tonight as kne of my staff has had a lateral flow test come back as positive so she is booking a PCR test for tomorrow.

I am now off to read all my documents to see what to do

But first… some guns with their bases all painted green…

Wish me luck….

Guns All Done

Well I decided to just push on and get the light guns finished. Everything, apart from the bases, is painted…

I have painted the pva water mix over the sand so should be ready to get the bases painted tomorrow evening.

As these are light guns then I decided that the stands would be less gaudy.

I also did a smidge on a couple of the Flintloque miniatures that I started in about April.

Cows and Guns

I wish I could have written cows with guns there, but never mind. I worked on the 6mm Italian wars artillery this evening and got four of the six guns done. To hide the base I added some terrarium sand. This needs sealing before painting which is why it is still a natural colour.

The cows need a nkt of work on them.. things like the horns etc, but I am going to leave them pretty much the same colour that they are now.

Whoops!

Now I am not an electrician, nor am I any kind of expert, but I really don’t think that this is meant to be in my light switch…

Looks like the roof has had a leak for a while at the other end, but this one is new.

The rain was apocalyptic, with wind from the South East, which us unusual, so it evidently found a gap somewhere!

To be fair to myself, this was the first thing that I ever built and in all honesty I knew that the roof would need replacing eventually. I just cannot believe that the felt only lasted 11 years, when it Should have only done five!

All Cannons Great and Small

Or to be ore accurate, really small big cannons… yes I worked on the larger artillery pieces this evening and got a bit more done…

Not a huge amount of progress but I am slowly chipping away. I think I needed a break away from these for a little while as J was getting burned out… not really surprising as there were pikes as far as the eye could see…

I also added a bit more colour to my German Aether fleet….

They are getting closer to being finished. I am not too struck on the copper colour and will probably either shade it a bit or more likely repaint it in a brass colour… only problem is… I only have Army Painter Metallics and frankly they are crap.

Oh yeah while I remember, I came in this evening and went to pull the light cord and noticed it was wet in my porch, luckily for me I noticed… the roof must have sprung a leak in the apocalyptic rain we have had over the last couple of days. It decided to fill the light switch with water. Luckily past Stephen built in a switch to isolate it…. guess what I am up to tomorrow before more apocalyptic rain and wind arrives.

Ironclads…an Update

This evening I was feeling a bit better so I managed to get some work done on the German Fleet…. Still a long way to go, but definitely getting there….

I hollowed out the asteroid, but made the walls too thin, so will do it again tomorrow.

I also did some 6mm Italian wars stuff started too…
