Ladies at the Ball

I managed to get the ladies almost finished.

Reminds me of Cinderella…. two in posh frocks and one in ragged clothes.

The iridescent colours look good on the models but don’t seem to work on the photograph.

I also managed to finish off my Jäger

Christmas Jägerhund

Well it is Christmas Day for another 10 minutes.

To be honest it has been a good one, if a bit wierd without the in laws here for lunch. My kids have had a super day. I was very fortunate to receive a whole host of Flintloque for my presents.

I received a re-animator for my undead, a field hospital for the Ferach, some Ostarian Jäger from my good lady, then some dismounted Ferach Guard cavalry, Elven ladies, dwarf civilians and Towern Marske for my Trollkin.

I also received a book on Bree (for my One Ring roleplaying campaign) from my friends. I would put a photo up, but I cannot be bothered to go and get it.

Lots of goodies…

I have relaxed my paint what I got first as these were presents. So I randomly chose a packet from the box and the Jägerhund came out first.

they are nice sculpts, with the minimum amount of flash… basically I could only find any on the cartridge box, there might b3 some more but it is lost in the clothing.

I was originally going to paint them green, but decided instead to go for the grey with green trimmed uniforms. Although I like painting them how I want, I do actually like the actual colours of their historical counterparts.

Hopefully I will get these finished tomorrow.

Well Christmas Day is over here for another day, I hope everyone has had a relaxed one. Here is to 2018.

Bedtime Voltigeurs

These are taking for ever.

Still the muskets to do, highlights on all of the black, button on the shako, cuff and epaulettes- not to mention all of the tidying up.

I tried using a glaze on the blue, but I think I am going to have to get a wash onto it especially in the creases.

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.

Schwatrzenbark Finished

Well I got a bit of time this afternoon and managed to get him finished.

He is a lovely figure, I would have preferred a saddle blanket rather than a fur one. However I probably could have given Alternative armies a shout and they may have been able to supply one.

I have decided that he will be used as an officer for my Ostarian rather than Pudigrochumsberg in the pay of the Emperor Mordred.

Beasties 

Well I messed around loads  tonight so only managed to get the horse done and the werewolf part painted.

I really do like the Reaper Bones werewolf, really cheap but a cracking figure

I also managed to get a grey base coat for Schwartzenbark’s uniform done.

Another parcel from Alternative Armies came today too.

Some figures from the Lady Wintermore’s Fangs set as well as Uncle Rogipoos, Jose and Nursey. I got some more halflings for my eldest to paint up too.
