Although I am drugged up to the eyeballs with painkillers I did manage some painting this evening…
I started on the Dinocrocuta and finished the Smilodon. This time I did the beasty grey to allow for the bone armour,
I got my copy of the new ‘One Ring’ today. I had a very quick flick through, but will have a proper read through soon.
This evening I got go work on some humans of various types
Obviously there is still a long way to go, but I am getting there. As I had some basing gunk going spare yesterday then I shoved it on this lot.
I hope to get this little bunch finished tomorrow.
Tonight got the spider demons and oni finished. I then sorted out some basing gunk… aka PVA, sawdust and brown paint.
As I couldn’t find my spatula it went on with an old brush…
Well, I intended to get various bits and bobs done tonight. I was sat here eating a shortcrust mince pie and suddenly realised that it was 21.45. I still need a bath and sort out for work tomorrow.
Therefore, there will be no painting or anything tonight… hopefully tomorrow will be more productive!
So my little parcel arrived today and built my MDF paint rack from the outpost…
Here it is sitting on my shelf, now this was worse than IKEA furniture to out together as although it was meant to be friction fit,
The back had a bit of a problem as the tab if it was in the top vertically stover the hole…
In the end I had to sit it in at a jaunty angle so that I could get the top row of paint in where the support was.
To be honest though, I have gone and bought a new one as it will sit beside this one … well for £7.95 it seemed a good price and it will hold 24 paints neatly.
Tonight I worked on a couple of Ono (one armoured) and half a dozen Spider Demon.
Still a lot to do, but they are getting there. When I was sorting out I came across some remnants of my Warmaster armies.
I have at least a couple of empire wagons in the bottom shed, but these are all that is left of my once mighty forces. To be fair I bought the dragon second hand.
This evening I went for 6, 15 and 28mm miniatures.
I worked on my Italian Wars, I did some work on the Sengoku Monsters and bones and the I sort of finished my Flintloque Guerrillas…I realised after taking the photo that there were a couple of bits that needed doing.
Although the flu has gone, the cough persists intermittently… trouble I am having now is insomnia. I think my body got used to maps all day and coughing all night… it now thinks this is the norm.
Hopefully it will settle soon as I am back to work on Wednesday and Teaching on Thursday.
Tonight I decided to do a bit on the four guerrillas. It turns out I did more than I expected…
Once again I kept to a limited palette, this does seem to speed things up a bit. There is still a bit to do on them, bu I am definitely over the hump.
As I got on with the undercoating yesterday I managed to make a start on these nasty beasties…
There are three poses out of the thirteen miniatures. I need to get the hair redone in some of them.
I decidedto splash some cash and save myself a job…
The 2.2 litre boxes fit perfectly and were on offer so I grabbed a few.
I got the 15mm Japanese fantasy stuff undercoated and also managed to get some work done on my 6mm Imperials…
The ones covered in sand are a skirmish unit, the other four are my Doppelsoldners. Each base is attached to a Pike block along with two bases of skirmishers. It was good to get some work done on these, I haven’t touched them in about a month.
I managed to get out and about today…http://outaboutinshetland.home.blog/2021/12/31/new-years-eve-patterns/
So while I still have time. I hope everyone has an awesome 2022. Health, wealth and happiness to you all.
