As it was my youngest’s birthday today, I didn’t get that much done. The new arqubusiers are still in the printer shed, and I will print the third set off before i spray them white.
I therefore looked at what needed doing on the Ironclads…
It is not really visible on the photo, but the Hull bottom is in fact black. I will carry on with these sometime soon. Hopefully I will get the 6mm stuff printed tomorrow and then undercoated.
Tonight I did a bit more on the vampire and the others on the strip with him…
I also managed to get some contrasting green in the cow bases…
Now in case you were wondering, I haven’t forgotten the 6mm Italian wars. I am in the process of printing some more arqubusiers in the flexible resin mix as some of the ones I was working with were snapping off at the ankles… same with some ifvthe artillery… I can see that I am hoing to have to make replacements in the future. I think I have printed off enough to get me a fair old way through what I need, but another plate ful wouldn’t go amiss.
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.
I wish I could have written cows with guns there, but never mind. I worked on the 6mm Italian wars artillery this evening and got four of the six guns done. To hide the base I added some terrarium sand. This needs sealing before painting which is why it is still a natural colour.
The cows need a nkt of work on them.. things like the horns etc, but I am going to leave them pretty much the same colour that they are now.
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.
This evening I was feeling a bit better so I managed to get some work done on the German Fleet…. Still a long way to go, but definitely getting there….
I hollowed out the asteroid, but made the walls too thin, so will do it again tomorrow.
I also did some 6mm Italian wars stuff started too…
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!
