I managed to do a bit more painting tonight.
I think I have found another favourite character. I have always liked this figure. He is an officer of the quasi 6th Hussars. Whereas with the zombies, I went through a phase of hating them, I have enjoyed painting him from start to finish. I still have a bit to go on him but he is getting close.
The Golem whom I have named Egor is getting there too. The highlight is too light on the grey so I will either redo it or put a glaze over it, similarly with his head.
The doctor is just about finished too. I forgot to photograph him.
Madame Boniface is making progress…
I am not sure how I am going to do her dress. I did consider simply using a wash and if so… what colour?
Still a lot to do on her, hopefully she will be finished tomorrow.
The two cavalry are lagging a bit behind, simply because the blue and red I used on the others is in work.
My unpainted pile of Flintloque is growing again. I still have stuff on top of these from Christmas to paint. I still have to finish my undead artillery, they have sat like this since 8th December.
Not to mention everything else I have bought recently. My Bier and Bones figures to start with and I did order some more Finkelstein ogres and the resin Savant zombies, well there was free postage 🤣.
I am really enjoying getting back into the swing of painting every day, there are a lot more talented figure painters out there it is true. But this is about enjoyment of accomplishment.
I have been contemplating the way I disliked painting the zombies. I am beginning to wonder if it was a combination of oldish paint that didn’t flow that well (more like tar than paint) and trying to squeeze a bit of painting into a short session which is normally interspersed with telephone calls. Funnily enough I got them finished at home and that Was when I felt happier with them too.
