Lunchtime painting.
Another lovely set of civilians for Valon. These are made of resin so are very light.
MDF kits
I decided to bite the bullet and try a bit of a building. The ship is for my mate at the club. I said I would build it for him.
I will add more information once I get building.
Schwatrzenbark Finished
Well I got a bit of time this afternoon and managed to get him finished.
He is a lovely figure, I would have preferred a saddle blanket rather than a fur one. However I probably could have given Alternative armies a shout and they may have been able to supply one.
I have decided that he will be used as an officer for my Ostarian rather than Pudigrochumsberg in the pay of the Emperor Mordred.
Slowly getting there –
Managed to do a smidgeon on Scwartzenbark and to shape the pole on the Brougham.
Hopefully I will be able to crack on later this evening and tomorrow.
Reaper Bones
I do like these bones figures. They come as a white plastic figure that is really well detailed. The good thing is that they are nice and cheap.
The ogre chieftain is £2.25, the cave troll sits at £2.00 with the werewolf coming in at a mere £2.55.
They are big beasties too. They are stood next to a Perry’s French Agincourt knight.
The models take the paint really well, this actually Surprised me a bit. I was obviously remembering my old plastic Airfix figures that the paint would spring off.
The werewolf is based differently as I want him for Flintloque type adventures. The others are part of my Dragon Rampant forces where everything is on circular bases.
Beasties
Well I messed around loads tonight so only managed to get the horse done and the werewolf part painted.
I really do like the Reaper Bones werewolf, really cheap but a cracking figure
I also managed to get a grey base coat for Schwartzenbark’s uniform done.
Another parcel from Alternative Armies came today too.
Some figures from the Lady Wintermore’s Fangs set as well as Uncle Rogipoos, Jose and Nursey. I got some more halflings for my eldest to paint up too.
Happy Hallowe’en
I had a bit of Milliput spare…
Dapple Grey
Tried to paint my first dapple grey horse in my lunch break. One can see what it is meant to be, but I am not too convinced.
Maybe once I get everything else Painted and highlighted then it might look better.
I must remember that …If at first I don’t succeed ….. paint them brown!
Toffee Cows in Progress
And if you are wondering….toffee cow???
First time I ever heard them called a toffee cow was at RAF Machrihanish. A flight sergeant was doing a slide show on mountain rescue and said “no matter where he went there was always a toffee cow”. The name has stuck ever since.
Brougham – I couldn’t help it
Well I decided to lift the pole up a bit.
This is the start of the process…
The matchstick is there to keep the milliput pole at the height I wanted.
I will extend the milliput back to meet the turntable then trim down the mdf at bit from where it joins.
