Well I was going to get painting this evening but was required to rescue an offspring from the south of the island… So no painting achieved.
Pretty cool sea and sky on the way down.
Dad’s Taxi
Next!
Was back to work today so got these out, photographed them, then went Nahhh will do them tomorrow…
On the left six knights/ yeomen and on the right we have the city Guards. I wonder if the back left us called Colon. Can’t be Vimes at the rear as he has plumes in his helmet. Unless of course it is a civic event and good old Sybil will make sure he looks smart.
More Civilians
Well these were a bit quick… All done in a short time
A Goose girl, Flautist, Bloke with a snake and a posh lady with evil intent, either that or she is about to chop vegetables.
I have more Undercoated ready for tomorrow.
They will probably take longer as they are a mix of knights and Guards so will need their livery done.
Sorry
Apologies up front…
Over time I have developed a phobia of German Sausage… now I always fear the Wurst!
Sorry I just had to!
Another Lot Done
This evening I managed to get these pretty much finished apart from the bases.
Managed to get to 22.30 without a nap today so I think I have turned a corner.
Sod All Done
Well I have a couple of excuses… First being I am still need three or four hours of sleep during the day. I get to about 14.00 at the latest then go rapidly downhill. Second is my daughter lost a tiny phial of brine shrimp eggs and we spent an absolute age trying to find them
I did eventually get my Mounted Borgia miniature from Alternative Armies, to be fair to them I got it last week. To say sorry they shoved in a wood pile and a simple well. This was nice of them as I had two dismounted miniatures so…
Coming Home
What’s a place you visited that felt like home?
The odd thing is, when I first rolled off the ferry in Lerwick in February 2006 to attend my interview I honestly felt like I had come home.
Luckily I got the job and am still here. I have lived here longer than anywhere else in the UK and it now is home. I have lived in this house for 18 years now so… Yeah home.
Painting & a Map
Well I ended up off work today. Totally knackered, ended up asleep for about three hours this afternoon.
I did however manage to get the civilians started…
I also finished my map I started when I was coming back on the boat…
Just about finished me off, so I reckon I will be off again tomorrow unless I suddenly bounce back.
A Smidge of Painting.
I am definitely a few twinkles short of a rainbow at the minute so I really didn’t fancy doing anything at all. As you can imagine I really had to force myself to get these progressed.
Can you tell that I hadn’t realised that I basically had the same bloke with a bag. Thankfully their lower halves are different. One is barefoot and the other has trousers and boots. The rear one also carries a pickaxe.
Brigands and Civilians
So I made a start on the undercoated lot from yesterday…
Made a start on five, nine left to go.
I was in our scrap store today, a charity organisation that employs adults with learning difficulties. I saw this interesting box…
Hopefully I will carry on painting tomorrow…
