This evening I forced myself to paint something. I am really not in the mood at the minute. Ongoing health problems mean I am knackered and then I have had this flu thing…
But this evening I went for it 🙂
Mr Dwarf was picked up and added to the part painted pile. He is nearly finished… it has only taken me about ten months so far.
Hopefully I will keep the momentum going tomorrow.
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.
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.
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.
Felt crack this evening so achieved an undercoat!
I suppose a teeny bit of progress is still progress!
I really didn’t fancy painting the Sisters this evening.
The Steroids seem to be becoming less effective which is an absolute Bugger. I have already had to go back up a microgramme and it is looking like I will need to go back up again.
So instead of painting I built a few more Gallians, which will be undercoated and painted tomorrow.
The metal ones are for my mate. This pair arrived with the ones I painted yesterday. these are from Westwind miniatures.
I will of course be back with the ‘one coat’ paints tomorrow. 🙂
Huzzah, I got the last of the printed goblins finished.
Not sure what I am going to paint next. I do have the Sisters as well as a few more knights that are printed. The sisters are undercoated so it may be better to do them.
I still need to decide what to do with the Tyranids.
Let’s be honest… I have so much crap to paint I could still be painting daily until Christmas and still have some for the New Year.
This evening I managed to get my finger out and finish off the goblins. I am going to have to add a brighter edge on the weapons.
There are also a few touch ups that I need to do on some of them. The bases also need a bit of colour.
I will hopefully manage this tomorrow. My eldest is doing their first concert for their music course tomorrow evening so the painting may have to wait.
A bit of a mixture of topics. I decided I had better add some painting back in in case you all thought it had become a medical blog.
So yes I got the goblins and paints out and made some progress, not as much as I would have liked, but progress is still progress…
It is mainly just the metalwork to do and the back of the shields. I would have got further but my daughter was off getting sweeties from random strangers for Hallowe’en, so dad’s taxi was requested to bring them home.
So finally, a FB friend shared this. Now I am not 100% sure, but I believe a comma would help make the sentence mean what she meant.
Now I suppose if I need to or have to then okay, but I believe she meant let’s ride, witches. Punctuation is important… if you remove the capital letter then the following sentence has a totally different meaning…
‘I am going to help my Uncle Jack off his horse!’
Tomorrow back to the goblins… I hope
Oh yeah, evidently I have shrunk. I was measured yesterday and have lost about an inch and a half in height!
This evening I was a bit pooped and really couldn’t be bothered to paint anything.
I did force myself to do a bit so spent a little time painting the tunics on the rank and file.
To speed things up I painted them all a grey colour. Basically they are all in un-dyed cloth.
Hopefully I will crack on tomorrow and get a fair bit done.
