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
Jägerhund
Nearly there with the Jäger.
Basically only the hat plate and ironwork to do plus the base.
I also based up some of the figures the kids got me for Christmas. I am doing the Ferach ladies next. These are now undercoated white to get some more vibrant colours. I might even give the iridescent colours a go on the ballgown.
Ostarian Colours
I decided that my dogs needed some colours too….
This was the test piece, the sharpies I was using were a little blunt. I will have to get myself some superfine ones.
I will have to purchase some standard bearers to add the colours to 🙂
The one thing I am beginning to wonder about is whether these are a little large for the figures. If needs be I can do what I did with the ghoul which was to glue a piece of plastic straw to increase the length (The original banner top had snapped off).
My artistic skills are ok, but I felt that I wouldn’t be able to do the eagle justice so instead I used some creative commons clip art for the designs as well as border art on Publisher.
Even More Colours
HELP ME!
I am really getting into doing these, made more flags and painted nothing over the last couple of days, I think it is because they are so easy to do.
They look better curled and flapping than on the piece of paper. Obviously all of my chaps are holding flags in at the very least a strong breeze.
On the next one I might try to get a drooping flag. I am not sure whether it is possible due to the nature of the paper.
Lunchtime Colours
Regiment II
I had another bash at a regimental colour’s today.
Black and red this time
Instead of paint I gave these a go.
I used the brown on the reverse side to make a shadow, I may have overdone it in places.
Teatime Colours
Updated Regimental colours …
I had another go at the colours tonight. Much happier with the bat, however I have realised that the chain around its neck has blended into the background colour of the circle….
I may just get rid of it to avoid the problem – I didn’t have a very fine sharpie – to be honest I would have probably got a better result with silver paint instead of the pen.
the size works well with the colour bearer. I realised today that he is missing the top of his pole ( unlucky chap) so I have added a bit of straw and will add a skull to the top.
Still got a lot to do to this chappie, not to mention the other seven.
Once the flag is glued on properly and shaped I don’t think it will look too bad for a first attempt.
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.
Voltigeurs and a Ruddy Great Big Werewolf (Visthowla Legion)
I managed to get a base coat done on the Ferach and Green stuffed the werewolf’s joints. I would have got more done but I was back up on the byre roof with a roofing caulk. I managed about 45 metres before both the caulk and the strength in my hands ran out. The pain in the bum is that I still have another 15 metres to do. The weather was pretty kind to me and only dropped hail on me about three times. The wind however blew everything of the roof.
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.
Teatime a Trollkin II
Managed a little bit more tonight.
Hopefully I will get these finished tonight.
