Diorama Miniatures Painted

Tonighti managed to get the Wolves and Goblin finished as well as pretty much do the same with the elf and dwarf…

I was going to put them on a base I already have, but I think I will make something a bit bigger.

Today was more papering, I managed another wall even though my back and legs were giving me gyp. We had to go and buy more paper as we had a change of ideas.. I think we made the right choice. I am hoping to get the rest of the lounge done tomorrow.

The Goblin and the Wolves

Last night I worked on this trio

Still some work to do on them and for some reason yhey have gone a bit shiny. Nothing a blast of matt varnish won’t cure.

Unfortunately the printer did something weird on the single wolf and although I hoped it wouldn’t be too obvious, it was.

Tonight I hope to finish these and work on the elf and the dwarf.

A Tale of Two Moustaches

I changed the officer’s moustache…

This colour works better methinks.

I also undercoated my Lord of the Rings miniatures this evening…

These are for a mini diorama entitled ‘The Battle of the Five Armies’

My rheumatism, or whatever it is in my fingers kicked off today, but I did manage a bit of decorating.

Wood and wallpaper done today.

Last of the Elves… For Now

So I suddenly remembered that there were two Catalucian officers sitting in full view and have been since… at least 3rd February… so this evening instead of the Samurai I thought I might as well get them finished to join the rest of them.

To be honest, nothing fancy. The one in green has a weird moustache and in hindsight perhaps a lighter colour might have been a better choice for it. I feel a colour change coming on tomorrow.

Five More Finished

This evening I cracked on and got the remaining foot painted and based up.

So that is them all done apart from these two

Since this photo was taken I have managed to paint the base brown and add a black edge 😃. I am going to try and get them finished tomorrow.

Working on the Elves

I spent the last couple of days adding bits of white to the undercoated then Contrast covered elves. This evening I started adding colour to them.

As you can see these are different to the others, the drummer is still a mystery to me. I actually think he is kne of the Ferach (French) elves. The shako cover really does make me think that… I just couldn’t be bothered to check it out. Well he is now in the pay of the Catalucian elves…

Hopefully I will crack on with these tomorrow. Luckily I am on my Easter break so I might get the chance for sneaky painting sessions during the day.

Neolithic Types

This evening I undercoated the remaining elves and left them to cure. I decided to paint something whilst I waited.

Having a mooch through a box I found a pile of Neolithic hunter gatherers that needed finishing… here they are…

These were really crap prints I did with my first resin printer. I reckon it was from the time it started to act up. I nearly binned them at the time, but slapped some paint on anyway.

Elves Finished…

Well, these ones are Finished… However, I have another five to make a start on tomorrow.

Once I have all of the Catalucian’s painted then I will give them all a varnish at the same time.

These are the remaining ones that need an undercoat.

For reasons known only to myself, I bought a drummer! The only thing I can think of is that I was meant to get a sergeant ir something from the command pack and ended up clicking the wrong thing. I just checked and I cannot find him anywhere!
