Kitty Nearly Done

This evening I got some painting done whilst listening to a presentation on the Luftwaffe over Shetland.

I dry brushed the bone on him and repainted the bits where I overbrushed…

I am a lot happier with the bone, but I still have a bit of a dislike for him. Not the model itself, just my painting of him. I really should have used a different colour for the cord holding the armoured plates together. I shall keep on faffing about with him and see where he gets to.

I got a bit more done on the right hand officer as well, but I called it a day after getting the gold done.

Kelenken Finished

My meeting was cancelled this evening as only three of us turned up. I am so glad I didn’t stay in work though.

On the up side, I managed to get a bit of painting done…

Here are the trio of Kelenken in their sort of finished state. I decided to camouflage the chick so it is a bit tricky to see, as it should be. To be honest the chick is my favourite. I think it is because it is so cute.

I also made a start on the Alternative Armies Officers. Thirty seconds after painting the blue one I remembered that I was going to paint him and his troops with a red coat! He may get a clothing change!

Hopefully I will get some 6mm done tomorrow and also carry on with these two.

Terror Birds

It’s been a busy old day, so busy in fact I did around 12000 steps… average is normally 7k. I rodded the septic tank, flattened the track to the house at the worst bits and also repaired the door to the greenhouse. Not to forget mucking out the horse this morning.

In my busy schedule I did manage to get some painting done. I intended to do some on the terror birds as well as some in the Spanish officers. I gave up in the humans as I couldn’t decide on what uniform to make them. I therefore cracked on with the birds…

They all still have some work to do on them, especially the little fella, but progress has definitely been made.

These painted up really easily… I am rather pleased with how they came out. I am not sure how much I will get done tomorrow as I have a school parent meeting. It starts at 19.00 and can go on for a couple of hours.

If anyone knows of any good sites to find Napoleonic Spanish Uniforms I would be most grateful if you could let me know.
