These are taking for ever.
Still the muskets to do, highlights on all of the black, button on the shako, cuff and epaulettes- not to mention all of the tidying up.
I tried using a glaze on the blue, but I think I am going to have to get a wash onto it especially in the creases.
I managed to get a base coat done on the Ferach and Green stuffed the werewolf’s joints. I would have got more done but I was back up on the byre roof with a roofing caulk. I managed about 45 metres before both the caulk and the strength in my hands ran out. The pain in the bum is that I still have another 15 metres to do. The weather was pretty kind to me and only dropped hail on me about three times. The wind however blew everything of the roof.
I managed to get a bit done today. I really need a better camera and/or better lighting as they look a whole lot better than the photo shows☹️.
I have decided to make a start (aka carry on with) some Ferach voltigeurs. These guys have sat for about a year with just their base coat of black.
Managed a little bit more tonight.
Hopefully I will get these finished tonight.
I managed to get a wash on the clothing. Figures always look naff at this stage, it can get a bit disheartening especially when you look at the amazing work some people do.
Bedtime Trollkin
I managed to get some more of the base colours done this evening. They are lovely figures, they do, however, have faces only a mother could love. They work for Trollkin though.
Lunchtime painting.
Another lovely set of civilians for Valon. These are made of resin so are very light.
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.
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.
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!
I have come to the realisation that my Flintloque collection is more painted than unpainted. However the 3 tons of other stuff is a different story.
