Another Knight Finished

This evening I got this pair finished.

Bill the pony made an appearance to balance the scene up a bit. I am toying with the idea to add water slide transfers to the knight as well as the shields on the various foot soldiers.

I made a start on another pair of mounted knights as well as more foot.

The school has built a little diorama for a local festival of trees. Here is a work in progress…

I will get photos of the finished diorama tomorrow… well it better be finished tomorrow as I need to get it to the organisers tomorrow afternoon.

Painting Knights

This evening I got some paint slapped onto the Highland Miniatures Knights.

The colours for the livery are in a different style to the previous iterations.

I really had to force myself to get this small amount done. I am still not 100% so anything I manage is better than nothing.

Tidying Up

Yes that time has come when both the physical and cyber miniatures need sorting out. I decided to make a start when I kept finding boxes with part painted miniatures in.

The hard drive of shame also needed a tidy up too

Swordswoman

This evening I wanted a quick win so redid this lady.

She basically is the same original colours for the tunic and breeches. I just redid them better then got the rest of her done.

I will get some flock on the base when I get a lot more miniatures done. I could have looked up what actual regiment she is from in the Flintloque world, but didn’t for two reasons. One, it is for my mate, who wasn’t that fussed and two,it is a fantasy world – I wasn’t too fussed either.

It was a nice easy miniature to paint the biggest fuss were the suspenders and even they weren’t that fussy as they are quite chunky and easy to do.

Apart from the base this was all done in Speedpaints 2.0. Oh yeah, while I remember The white bits were my rebottled GW paint from a good while ago…

A Bit of Painting

I got my finger out and finished the grave digger. I also did I wthe masked lady as well as a couple of scatter pieces.

I also used any ‘spare’ paint to get some work done on the knights. Not a huge amount, but enough to make a start.

I will hopefully crack on with the knights tomorrow.

A Night Off

Well, this night off was more forced than volunteered. I noticed there were lots of blooping noises coming out of the kitchen sink and the toilet. This normally means that the septic tank has backed up. Oh yes, it had! So after a whole lot of swearing, I set to work.

An hour and a half later I got it cleared and running through. There was even more swearing when my phone dropped out of my pocket and fell into said Poo-filled hole. luckily it was in a relatively clear bit and I also had a hose and spade in hand so I got to it before it sank.

I managed to stay up until 20.00 and got this written ASAP before I fell asleep.

Spoil Sports

Well I made it back to work today… I was pretty much knackered for most of it, but hey I made it.

This evening I decided to have a bit of a go on Battlefield V on the old console. I had some epic games. I prefer to be an AA gunner as my reactions are, on the whole, too slow for ground combat. It’s really funny if you shoot someone down, they quite often spend the rest of the game trying to get you back. Which is cool… it becomes one on one. However in the last game some total baby evidently wanted to have a go on the gun and basically lost us the match as he was trying so desperately to get me off it that I failed to save my pilots from being attacked. We lost by two kills.

500 Steps

So in the sort of Words of the Proclaimers

“I will walk 500 steps and I will walk 500 more just to be the man who falls down at your door.

I managed just under one thousand steps today. Most of it has been spent feeling crap in bed.

I reckon I will still be here tomorrow if my wife is anything to go by. In fact the whole family is under the weather.

I couldn’t even be bothered to watch YouTube. Well I started watching It and kind of woke up to various Christmas crafting videos.
