Or perhaps it is a Skeleton ghost… either way it is done… I have five more to go but this one was my test subject.

I also got the bulk of the four legions painted as well as some sand getting put onto three legion bases, I would have done four but ran out of glue and sand.

I slept for about four hours this afternoon. But after dinner I got my 2mm legions sprayed as well as a 28mm ghost from Highland Miniatures.

I have enough cohorts to make six republican legions. I intend to paint each legion in a different colour.

I also had some EPVC knocking about so did some hills for the 2mm stuff too…

Today I printed off some more 15mm miniatures. Only problem I had was losing a foot.

I was feeling so much better today, then bam .. at 16.30 whatever string had been holding me up was suddenly cut and off to bed I needed to go.

Still positive and although the government says I can return to work tomorrow I have decided to take another day.

Today I got some new books…

This evening I also started printing a Bushi Force on the resin printer. I also chose a barge (of all things) to print on the Filament one as a test.

The following image is June’s Patreon release from Highland Miniatures.

The leader on a giant flying creature is missing from the photo. As are the terrain items.

Well I made it to 22:30 before needing to retire. I have been hot and cold all day and my back was a nightmare most of the day too.

I managed to have a couple of meetings today as well as answer some emails. So as a reward I sliced some Sohei for Ronin. I was going to do a samurai force but unfortunately the miniatures were sorted into groups of four or eight miniatures.

The ones I did do will be ready by tomorrow morning.

So in my pain filled time in bed, in between sleeping and yelping (sadly my back is still buggered) I had a mooch on my minifactory and ended up joining Highland Miniatures on their Patreon …they can be found here

I have been considering them for a good while and eventually bit the bullet.

The following image popped up in my Google image reminders, I made this kit to help out a school who wanted to visit the castle and have a Knight in it. I didn’t have the heart to tell them the castle was from the 16th century

Just call me Typhoid Mary!

Started to feel cold and shivery, started feeling a bit sick and have lost my appetite… so just to be on the safe side I took a Covid test….

The T line appeared almost instantaneously…. Definitely no faint lines for me!

I suppose on the upside I can have a lie in on Monday. On the downside all this uncontrollable shivering is not good for my bad back!

Okay, totally out of context but Joe came over this evening for a yarn about what we fancy playing in the future.

We also had a quick gladiatorial game too.

It started of easy enough, my Retiarius against his Murmillo.

He won initiative and hit my boy for three wounds, unperturbed I struck back and totally missed.

A couple of turns later I managed to get him in my net, I had already dropped it once!

I totally failed to hit him, even when he was wrapped up…

I managed to get some solid hits onto him but not enough to delay the inevitable…

It was nice to dust off the arena again… obviously I now want more Gladiators!

Okay not exactly, but I followed Eric’s advice and put a brown wash over the red. This desaturated the colour a bit…

Brown wash on the left, original on the right. I definitely am a lot happier
