All Done

Well that is the eighteen infantry and six cavalry painted. It was a bit of a rush job, but I got there this evening. As I said yesterday, they won’t win any prizes, but they are done apart from the bases. I will get those done tomorrow.

So here they are with the paint still wet…

I am just hoping that the ones in the shed that I think are done are actually finished. I will find out tomorrow.

I would have done it this evening, but I am knackered and really cannot be bothered.

I will add them all together and see what they look like. I know the crossbow men are in a specific livery, I think I have some liveried spears too.

Panicked Painting Progress.

Well I eventually got started on the pile of plastic for Saturday. Six mounts and six infantry finished.

My son worked hard on the mounted gendarme on the right too.

So that leaves me with twelve foot and six cavalrymen to do.

Will mine win any prizes- nope but they are getting done and that is all I want.

I have actually got some Agincourt mounted knights in a shopping cart somewhere, I just have to remember which site I was on!

Goblin Frog Riders

Well as expected I printed the three missing frog riders, and because I can never ever leave any space on the build plate I added a couple of Gallian men at arms.

I even managed to choose ones I hadn’t used before… (pure fluke!)

But because it is me then I decided to print another half dozen men at arms!

Sadly I didn’t feel up to painting and didn’t even try. Not sure if I will manage tomorrow as it is the school leaver’s assembly. I probably won’t be up to much.

A Busy Boy

Well after a totally Shite day work wise I came home and decided to be productive.

This lot are now finished, apart from some form of symbol on the two banners and shield  (oh and the green one needs a shield).

I know green is a bit of a rare colour in these kinds of fantasy miniatures  but this isn’t Brettonia so the green rule doesn’t apply. Interestingly enough after the 13th century green was actively avoided into the 15th century. It came back in the 16th, long after people had the need for it on a shield.

So I had a mooch about and got out the medievals I could find…

I might actually have more somewhere.

I now need a lot more commoners!

Actually to be honest, I really need to ask myself… do I really?

My original plan was that each knight had ten to twelve foot. So I would need about another fifty or so to paint! Obviously if I have some unpainted ones lying around then I will get them done.

I also painted some 6mm ork chariots and did a bit more on the bust. I tidied up the painting  cupboard and made another covered (Duck tape) cat food box to store some extra Speedpaints in.

Woohoo Painting Achieved

This evening I christened the painting table and managed to throw some paint on some of the (started) knight miniatures.

I have actually repainted a few bits as well as adding some fresh colours.

Now I have started having a smidge of an interest in painting a bust or two. Because I am a pillock I will give the one coat paints a go. The beauty of the printer is that if the result is naff then I can print another if I don’t just respray it.

Ready for Undercoating

So this evening I felt inspired enough to hunt our some bases and get nine of the eleven stuck onto them.

The spare two were front left. As I have a bit of a Tyranid force then I thought it only fitting that they have some helpers. These are the Code Splicer cult. They remind of something else with a similar name 🤔.

Behind them is the pair of ‘slave ogres’. Front right are a pair of skull server things. One with a gun and one with a medical saw and syringe.

Behind them are a trio of police officers with a spare head of an Erroish warrior as a proxy. Some twit dropped the original somewhere and it cannot be found. I felt the gas mask worked with the other pair.

And finally at the back we have a cyborg bounty hunter which frankly looked so cool that I had to print it.

Somewhere I have this lot that I want to paint and can I find them?

We are taking my school on a mini residential tomorrow so I might have random bollards to write tomorrow evening. Part of me fancies taking something to paint tomorrow evening, but I doubt I would get the chance.

Back with the FDM

Well I picked up some filament in a charity shop really cheaply, I wish I had got the other three rolls, but didn’t. By time I got back they had gone.

Sadly they weren’t in grey, I hot the most staid of them with green.

Here is my first print with it

It’s just shy of 7 inches tall and printed  in four or five bits. I cannot actually remember.

Printer Overdrive

Well I have gone a bit bonkers printing things. I am certainly running through my resin backlog.

I eventually managed to print the large chemical mixer thing…

I also did the walkways and a leaky drain.

The  drum above is the second attempt… the following shows us boys and girls why we need to ensure that we fasten the build plate properly!

The following are a couple of pipes. They were part of four things on the plate. The chemical barrel pallets both failed, which led to a lot of swearing. The vat was full so it took a few shenanigans to get the cured lumps of the FEP.

Chemical Plant II

This evening I sorted out the new chemical tank. This one is a little more complex than the other one. It has screens and buttons etc, but it is still going to work well.

I have sprayed it black ready for the white dry brush tomorrow.

I am printing a second one right now. My plan is to have at lest two joined by a walkway. Three would be better but I am not sure if I can be bothered to paint three.

Rust Bucket

Well this evening I added the rust to the industrial terrain piece.

I really tried to get the rust where it would get rusty.

The sign is one of the ones I printed last week.

Hopefully I will actually achieve more tomorrow.
