It has been one of those days, so I was not in the mood for 6mm so instead I decided to get some more paint added to these

I did have to spend a good old while touching up the bits where the paint had chipped… that will teach me to not get them finished…

A quick one tonight as kne of my staff has had a lateral flow test come back as positive so she is booking a PCR test for tomorrow.

I am now off to read all my documents to see what to do

But first… some guns with their bases all painted green…

Wish me luck….

Well I decided to just push on and get the light guns finished. Everything, apart from the bases, is painted…

I have painted the pva water mix over the sand so should be ready to get the bases painted tomorrow evening.

As these are light guns then I decided that the stands would be less gaudy.

I also did a smidge on a couple of the Flintloque miniatures that I started in about April.

Now I am not an electrician, nor am I any kind of expert, but I really don’t think that this is meant to be in my light switch…

Looks like the roof has had a leak for a while at the other end, but this one is new.

The rain was apocalyptic, with wind from the South East, which us unusual, so it evidently found a gap somewhere!

To be fair to myself, this was the first thing that I ever built and in all honesty I knew that the roof would need replacing eventually. I just cannot believe that the felt only lasted 11 years, when it Should have only done five!

Or to be ore accurate, really small big cannons… yes I worked on the larger artillery pieces this evening and got a bit more done…

Not a huge amount of progress but I am slowly chipping away. I think I needed a break away from these for a little while as J was getting burned out… not really surprising as there were pikes as far as the eye could see…

I also added a bit more colour to my German Aether fleet….

They are getting closer to being finished. I am not too struck on the copper colour and will probably either shade it a bit or more likely repaint it in a brass colour… only problem is… I only have Army Painter Metallics and frankly they are crap.

Oh yeah while I remember, I came in this evening and went to pull the light cord and noticed it was wet in my porch, luckily for me I noticed… the roof must have sprung a leak in the apocalyptic rain we have had over the last couple of days. It decided to fill the light switch with water. Luckily past Stephen built in a switch to isolate it…. guess what I am up to tomorrow before more apocalyptic rain and wind arrives.

My son downloaded Battlefield V the other day and the opening is rather moving…

The Great War ended with a deafening Silence,

The World moved on…

And in the Silence, we forgot.

Lest we Forget!

This Lurgey is crap and it can just sod right off. I am absolutely fine unless I try and do something foolish like walk the 6 metres from the bedroom to the kitchen.

You will be pleased to know that I actually managed to get something done today. Yes I magnetised the guns on the Ironclads, okay I had to go and have a lie down afterwards, but I didn’t want you all to think that I was sitting on my arseall day, okay, to be fair that’s a pretty accurate description of my day…

I stuck them upright in the pots to prove they were magnetised.

To make sure he polarity was correct. I glued one into a gun then put another one on top of it. I then put superglue in the hole on the deck and then placed the gun in position. This was then slid sideways to leave the magnet in situ. I had a few false starts but got there in the end.

Still feeling crap, and wasn’t in work today. I won’t be there tomorrow either. I spent most of the day sat on the sofa under a blanket, but did manage to get some more bits sliced for Ironclads.

My magnets also came to allow for guns to be changed etc on the vessels.

This evening I have been mainly watching YouTube…right now I am onto Bob Ross….https://youtu.be/mT0RNrTDHkI

When I worked as an outdoor centre coach we would have the TV on in the common room. Sadly for the boss, his morning briefing would co-incide with the Joy of Painting. Poor chap never stood a chance.

The weather today was chappy and furthermore I have spent most if the day feeling cold and headachey. I blame my good lady for giving me the bleurgh. She has spent the last three days in and out of bed. I did manage to undercoat the guns and will hopefully get them started sometime soon…

I also re-found this chap…one if my original Necromunda gangs… I much prefer this style to the more modern version…

I have decided to repaint him and see how I get on. As I was considering repainting him I foolishly decided to see if I could get him some friends….error not at those prices I won’t!

And finally…. the German base coated Fleet next to the British one…
