Tonight I did a bit more on this pair…
Really just the teeth to do on McBam, but a lot more to do on Giggers. I also did a bit on a couple of others.
McBam and Giglamps
Greate Britorcn Officers
Tonight I made a start on some of the Britorcn officers. Left to right are a military Padre, Major Giglamps of Afri and Captain Angus McBam of Joccia…
To be honest the kilt is a little subtle, but felt it was better than my first attempt. They all Have a long way to go, but at least some colours are appearing on the undercoat. The faffing about with the tartan and chequered cloth certainly slowed things down a bit.
Two More Goblins
Tonight I managed to get the next two goblins done. By done please read that as pretty much done… I might dirty up the armour a bit…
The toes could do with a bit of a touch up as the paint was rubbed off whilst holding the miniatures. I really need to come up with a better way to hold miniatures without a base.
Just the fallen hero to go for the miniature painting… well unless I need more goblins 😜.
BOFA Goblins
This evening I did a bit of work on a couple of the goblins.
There is still along way to go which is probably why I have a bit of a problem with them. The one with the bow doesn’t actually have surfer shorts on, it is in fact a kilt type of thing. I will crack on with them tomorrow and hopefully get them finished.
This evening I finished watching ‘All of us are Dead’. I actually really enjoyed it, although I am not ashamed to admit it … there were a few moist eye moments. I only hope to god they don’t bring out a second series and leave it where it is at.
Battle of the Five Armies
Well as you know I was going to do a small diorama with small number of printed miniatures. Problem was I was missing the men. So I added some. Problem with that is that they then outnumbered the forces of evil. So to redress the balance I printed some more.
Technically three men. One of them is having a lie down. I added some orks from various sets to add a bit of variety.
It took ages to get them to print as I reinstalled Chitubox on the PC and for some reason all the settings had changed. It just about drove me up the wall. I got there in the end though.
The Goblin and the Wolves
Last night I worked on this trio
Still some work to do on them and for some reason yhey have gone a bit shiny. Nothing a blast of matt varnish won’t cure.
Unfortunately the printer did something weird on the single wolf and although I hoped it wouldn’t be too obvious, it was.
Tonight I hope to finish these and work on the elf and the dwarf.
Last of the Elves… For Now
So I suddenly remembered that there were two Catalucian officers sitting in full view and have been since… at least 3rd February… so this evening instead of the Samurai I thought I might as well get them finished to join the rest of them.
To be honest, nothing fancy. The one in green has a weird moustache and in hindsight perhaps a lighter colour might have been a better choice for it. I feel a colour change coming on tomorrow.
Five More Finished
This evening I cracked on and got the remaining foot painted and based up.
So that is them all done apart from these two
Since this photo was taken I have managed to paint the base brown and add a black edge 😃. I am going to try and get them finished tomorrow.
Working on the Elves
I spent the last couple of days adding bits of white to the undercoated then Contrast covered elves. This evening I started adding colour to them.
As you can see these are different to the others, the drummer is still a mystery to me. I actually think he is kne of the Ferach (French) elves. The shako cover really does make me think that… I just couldn’t be bothered to check it out. Well he is now in the pay of the Catalucian elves…
Hopefully I will crack on with these tomorrow. Luckily I am on my Easter break so I might get the chance for sneaky painting sessions during the day.
Elves Finished…
Well, these ones are Finished… However, I have another five to make a start on tomorrow.
Once I have all of the Catalucian’s painted then I will give them all a varnish at the same time.
These are the remaining ones that need an undercoat.
For reasons known only to myself, I bought a drummer! The only thing I can think of is that I was meant to get a sergeant ir something from the command pack and ended up clicking the wrong thing. I just checked and I cannot find him anywhere!
