Flippin’ heck I achieved more painting this evening and got the Spyre Gang up to the shiny gold decorations.
There is still stuff to do on these, well I want to do more on the, but if I wanted to I could call these done.
I am seriously thinking of just using my gold Sharpie to make them shiny 🪙🪙🪙🪙.
I may of course may change my mind 😉.
Well I made a start on a pair of the Erroish in Geek Club yesterday and managed to get them finished this evening. I also worked on the Spire big guy, and the other three for that matter
The big guy still needs the decoration done on his armour. I have decided to go for Gold as I feel this befits a super rich, nasty bully.
These are my pack beetles…
The saddles also had some failures, you can see an obvious one on the end of the front strap… Well actually it is a decorative border. But hey, either way it will get the Greenstuff remedy.
Hopefully I will feel up to a bit more of the same tomorrow.
Well I actually managed to get a tiny bit of painting done this evening.
I went for the unbased one to begin with. He is going to have either red or yellow on the chest and knees.
The other two miniatures are for my youngest. These two were the ones that failed yesterday. I did a plate re level and it worked fine second time around.
Well if Geek Club has one personal thing going for me, apart from the warm fuzzy feeling, then it forces me to sit down and paint for about forty minutes.
Today I managed three miniatures. Two adult males and another child.
I still need to get the bases done as well as sort out the belt buckles on the three males.
So the two males on the right and the girl in blue join the rest.
I really do enjoy painting a nice simple miniature!
Even though I am spending far too much time playing Fallout 76; I still managed to paint this pair this evening.
The collar was done with thr same light blue and it does make Barkhoven look like he has blue ears.
I cannot remember what the other one us, one of the civilian range from Alternative Armies, but as to the race… not a clue.
Yes eventually I got my finger out and picked up a paint brush and got the ghost bride up to the basing stage.
I think the ideas in my head transferred to the miniature. In fact I think it is an improvement on my own original one. For one thing I was a bit more adventurous in adding other colours.The red eyes are not evil in my mind… just the poor lass has been stood up at the alter and cried a great deal.
Funny I went green with my original and blue with the latest one.
Not the most grammatically accurate title ever, but flipping heck I got some paint on a miniature…
A down and dirty 25 minute (if that) paint job. Geek Club started again today and as our cupboard was a total mess I tidied that before starting my painting. Will it win any prizes, nope, but a finished miniature is a finished miniature.
You would imagine that after a week of the white stuff then I might have got a bit sick of it… out in the wild – yes! In the kitchen on miniature bases… not so much, but as I really dislike doing bases then … I might have to sit on the fence
So I forgot to take the photo at 15.00 today to compare the snow… this was taken up my track though!
Tonight was the first of the fire festivals, so I iwas off gallivanting for a bit. I decided to do something useful when I came back. As I had found my leaf punch yesterday I decided on leaves!
I basically used a brown paper envelope and threw loads of dipping inks on it in random patterns.
The other side has more yellow and orange and less green.
I tried the punch out when the paint dried and if I say so myself they look rather good. Yeah I know I am meant to use real leaves, but it has been raining a lot, it was pitch black and the wind was up.
I will show examples tomorrow.
Yes, the Flintloque miniatures are nearly done. I worked on them this evening again. Painted the base, did the rims, took the photo and then realised I had forgotten all the brass work on the rifle and pistols!
I will try and get it done during the day tomorrow.
I have a hospital appointment with a specialist on Thursday so it is a ferry trip down to Aberdeen tomorrow evening. I could have taken a flight, but this way it is cheaper for the old NHS… oh yeah and it means I get some time in Aberdeen.
I am going to see if I can find any model shops… not holding my breath as I haven’t been able to in the past.
