Getting there slowly

…

A nice bit of dry brushing on the rabbits by my 9 year old and a very iridescent dinosaur by my 6 year old.

I cracked on with the pugs tonight. Rather than the purple and yellow of the Von Mohlblume line infantry I decided to make these into some Jäger.  I have a back story, sort of, formulating as to the colours of the uniform. Needless to say I think these are awesome figures. Little pug light infantry snuffling their way into the fray. I particularly like the officer with his one eye and tongue sticking out. These hardly had any mould lines let alone flash or vent marks. It took me twice as long to clean them up because I kept picking up ones I had already done. In the end I actually had to put the done ones straight into a box to ensure I didn’t pick them up again.

I am rather proud of my 11 year old. She worked hard on these two today. All her own work, I gave the ideas on what to do. She is totally chuffed with them.

I can see she is going to want some more as she was very disappointed when she had finished them off.

That is the Hussars all finished apart from the basing.

Got these finished.

I have made a start on my Orc Hussars. The horses were cleaned up and based around 9 months ago. There are some seriously complicated uniforms here. We shall see how I get on.

A lovely little chap to command my Ostarian forces.

To be honest I have decided I don’t like painting white uniforms. They either look messy/bitty or flat white. Something I will have to work on.

I had to pop into the car place and decided to give this stuff a blast. £6.00 is a lot cheaper than the £11.00 for the GW one. I stuck it in warm water and gave it a bloody good shake. I am happy with the coverage. We will see how it takes paint once dry.

Update 19.00 hrs

I tried to rub off the paint on the flanks of the horse and it wouldn’t budge.
Update….

I have done a base coat on these and the undercoat has worked fine, takes the different colours from the different paint manufacturers without a problem. The one thing I would say is that the undercoat is a little grainy, but at this scale I can’t see a problem.

Well my storage and carrying conundrum has been answered. I ordered these on Ebay second hand. One has a pluck and store bit the other has a couple of trays with bits cut out. All in all happy with what I got. £35 all in.

I will see how much stuff I can get in these with the standard trays around 200 figures plus the pluck and store and the cut out bits so probably will do all of my Flintloque and all of my Lion/dragon rampant stuff too.
All in all a happy bunny.
