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.
Ways NOT to post things.
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.
Lunchtime Voltigeurs
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.
Voltigeurs and a Ruddy Great Big Werewolf (Visthowla Legion)
I managed to get a base coat done on the Ferach and Green stuffed the werewolf’s joints. I would have got more done but I was back up on the byre roof with a roofing caulk. I managed about 45 metres before both the caulk and the strength in my hands ran out. The pain in the bum is that I still have another 15 metres to do. The weather was pretty kind to me and only dropped hail on me about three times. The wind however blew everything of the roof.
Another batch finished.
I managed to get a bit done today. I really need a better camera and/or better lighting as they look a whole lot better than the photo shows☹️.
I have decided to make a start (aka carry on with) some Ferach voltigeurs. These guys have sat for about a year with just their base coat of black.
Goosey, Goosey Gander, Whither shall I wander?
I blasted through these tonight. Just realised I missed a wash on the eyes…. poot!
Teatime a Trollkin II
Managed a little bit more tonight.
Hopefully I will get these finished tonight.
Teatime Trollkin
I managed to get a wash on the clothing. Figures always look naff at this stage, it can get a bit disheartening especially when you look at the amazing work some people do.
Bedtime Trollkin
I managed to get some more of the base colours done this evening. They are lovely figures, they do, however, have faces only a mother could love. They work for Trollkin though.
Lunchtime Trollkin
I managed a little bit today. The highlight on the old troll’s trousers is a bit too bright. I will tone it down a bit.
I doubt I will get anything done this evening but we shall see.
Trollkin Civilians
Lunchtime painting.
Another lovely set of civilians for Valon. These are made of resin so are very light.
