Swordswoman

This evening I wanted a quick win so redid this lady.

She basically is the same original colours for the tunic and breeches. I just redid them better then got the rest of her done.

I will get some flock on the base when I get a lot more miniatures done. I could have looked up what actual regiment she is from in the Flintloque world, but didn’t for two reasons. One, it is for my mate, who wasn’t that fussed and two,it is a fantasy world – I wasn’t too fussed either.

It was a nice easy miniature to paint the biggest fuss were the suspenders and even they weren’t that fussy as they are quite chunky and easy to do.

Apart from the base this was all done in Speedpaints 2.0. Oh yeah, while I remember The white bits were my rebottled GW paint from a good while ago…

Final Officers Done.

This evening I cracked on and got the final pair done. I even tried doing eyes on this pair…

I also spent some of today sorting out my 3D printer files. Basically I downloaded a pile and got them onto my hard drive… I did a bit of printing too. I increased the size of the Vampire and Scarecrow, printed a giant centipede as well as did a test print of some more 15mm Samurai. I

kind of got these to allow me to do Ronin in 15mm. I will be able to do various Forces to go with my 15mm terrain.

As you can see I haven’t done a huge increase.

Tomorrow I will get a start on the Silver Bayonet miniatures. The centipede is going to spend a few hours in the sun to make sure he is fully cured.

Tonight’s Officer

I got another officer finished this evening, this one was I a quite simple uniform with bit gauntlets and a cloak that meant there was no braid to be found anywhere…

So that is three down, two left…

We have an officer with his dolman thrown over his shoulder and a vampire officer next to him. I just liked the ‘gentleman about town’ look on this one.

I will try and get the ‘Silver bayonet ‘ beasties sprayed tomorrow and them might start with one of them tomorrow evening. I keep forgetting that I have two more days off as we had today off too…

Guard Lancer

Okay, to be frank, I cannot remember any examples in either literature or artistic renditions of elves being in the lancers, but this one evidently joined and no-one noticed his huge ears!

Tomorrow I will carry on with another officer from one of the Guard regiments.

I have three individual miniatures left to go from Alternative Armies followed by a sedan chair with armed occupant. In amongst these I will sort out the 3D printed miniatures too.

I am also considering getting some plastic pikes I can get 24 for £5.00 so it might be worth giving them a go as my concern about the metal pikes is that they will snap off the hands or arms if dropped. The plastic may have more flex.

I have also started getting a bit interested in the 2mm stuff again. I may be busy over the weekend!

Veteran Monster Hunter

Well I said I wanted to get him done and I just about managed it this evening…

I still have a bit of work to do on the wolf pelt and a bit of work on his face, but otherwise I am calling him painted. The following is the illustration of the character in the book.

I managed to shear of the sword hilt whilst cleaning up a lump of white metal beside the sword! But it doesn’t look too bad. I was going to rebuild it like I did with Giggers…

But frankly couldn’t be bothered.

Tomorrow I will get him finished and make a start on one of my other ones.

Many Hands Make Light Work

I spent a lot of today slicing and printing, but in doing so I was reminded of the conundrum… how many angels can dance on the head of a pin… my version is less complicated… now many hands can sit on the head on a penny…

As you can see from above it is quite a lot… I printed out a whole load as I wasn’t sure how many I actually needed, but here is one if them stuck onto one of the miniatures to replace his resin pike.

The Eagle came out quite nicely too… I decided on this pose as I wanted him to be attacking the Goblins I the rise…

The way I will pose him is coming in feet first, hopefully it will look okay. I also printed up another warg and rider as well as another four foot.

I am also printing up some beasties for Silver Bayonet…

Finally I got some paint added to this dwarf officer.

I am rather pleasedwitb him if truth be known.

Doggo Officers

Tonight I blasted through this pair as well as attached the flag to the pole on the hussar

To be honest, nothing too fancy, just an hour and a half slapping the paint around.

I didn’t want them both in full white uniforms, but in hindsight the one on the right might have been better with a coloured jacket but they are done.

Two dwarves and two cannons to do before I get the next lot to paint. I will start on mine when my MDF bases arrive. I much prefer them to 2p’s which is what mine sit on in an emergency.

I am going to put a row of Silver dots along the top of the flag to simulate nails holding it on.

Hussar Regimental Colours

Tonight I messed around with my pens and printed flags….

I took one the original flags and put a triangle downwards from the corner. As the colonel my mate can choose which one he fancies.

They will look something like this…

My test flag

When I attach it it will be glued to the bottom of the cross bar,

My original flag was single sided, these are double sided with the pattern on both. Probably a waste of time to be honest.

I will trial some more tomorrow 😀.

Hussar All Done

Before talking about the painting I just wanted to say a big thanks to everyone for their support after my rant yesterday. I really did appreciate it.

Anyway, this evening I worked on this chap to a point where he just needs his colours…

As you can see he has a crosspiece so a normal flag like the lancer (sporting alternative colours) won’t work. Because of the shape of the model and the thickness of the pole then I am having to do a bit of a head scratch. I had a play around with one of the blank flags and have come up with a sort of idea.

I now have two dwarves, two dogs and two cannons left to go. My mate has just got a few more and so do I, so there are a host more to paint.

Half ten here and the sun is setting….

I thought it looked rather nice.

Lancers Done

Tonight I did a bit of sorting out on the two lancers. I touched up the bits that needed painting. I also selected a colourful regimental flag…

Upon saying the above, I just remembered the sword arm needs a bit of red on the cuff.

Tomorrow I hope to get a good start on the hussar. I can’t be bothered tonight as I have had what could best be described as ‘one of those days’ … a career change is being plotted.
