Managed to get quite a bit done. Still quite a bit to do.

I also bought some of this stuff:

Well I managed to get a bit done this lunchtime. I got some highlights on the flesh and the light grey base coat for the white belts.

Still a fair bit to do on these.

I got a dark wash on the flesh. Next stage highlights. After that equipment, weapons and metalwork.

I remember reading in Kevin Dallimore’s book where he said paint the faces early on as it makes them come alive sooner.

It is weird but true. A bit of flesh colour and they look totally different.

I really wanted to crack on with these today, however I just about had time to eat my lunch let alone paint anything.

Flesh base coat done. I will have to get the highlights done tonight.

I purchased a set of figures from a well known auction site. The seller delivered it quite promptly. It rattled a bit when I picked it up. But I thought it might be okay when I opened the box.

Sadly, I was mistaken.😡

<<<<<<<<<<
gures in a plastic bag? If I send figures each is individually wrapped in bubble wrap and then packed in bubble wrap inside a box. If they had been plastic, it might have been ok. However even my plastic ones are individually wrapped up.

A fair few have come off their bases, all are chipped to heck and quite a number have bent weapons etc.

Now ok I got 21 undercoated figures for £20 with free postage…. I would happily have paid postage costs if it meant they didn't arrive twisted together. However the same company sells painted figures, I hope they don't sell those the same way.

As it stands I am going to have to rebase them all as well as redcoat them.

All together not a happy chappy.

Update:

Partial refund and apologies given.

Really quick to reply to my email.

I worked on the blue.

My overall wash darkened the blue too much so I have had to lighten it up a fair bit.

Still the highlights to do on the uniform jacket.
