So this evening I got my finger out and started painting. I pushed on with the Recon dude and female civilian…
Now I really needed to add in the light squiggles but I don’t think my eyes or brush control are up to it. Now one day, I may push on and give it a go but not today. You can see what it looks like below.
Yes I managed to get some painting done this evening. I slapped paint on this lot.
I bet you can’t guess what paint colour spurted out of the bottle.
I will hopefully get some more done tomorrow.
Please note the ‘was’ there. Everything is either aching or hurting so painting was cancelled. I was looking forward to having a go at painting tiger striped uniforms. Last time I tried that was in the late 90’s.
The civilian and VC were there as a ‘now you have finished the hard bit’ interlude.
Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day.
I didn’t really make myself a lot of time to paint this evening… but I did a little bit:
Now the shaman in the centre has reminded me of someone for absolutely ages… I just couldn’t put my finger on who. This evening the clouds parted and the recollections streamed through…
Yes, I know he looks nothing like the wise old elf from the TV show… but somehow to me he does. If I hadn’t already painted the hood yellow then it would be painted blue.0
Still aching like mad, luckily no washing machines to move today, but the hot water tank overflow kicked in at 22.00 so I have fastened the ball cock up and turned off the boiler. I will get a new ballcock tomorrow.
I did manage to get some paint on some goblins today…
We have a leader, left. Three frogherds and a shaman on the right.
Hopefully I will get some more done tomorrow evening.
Well okay, they aren’t. But they might have been. I worked on this pair today…
I made a balls up in the left hand face, redid the undercoat and seem to have lost a lot of detail. I will try and remember how to do highlights!
I really must crack on with the goblins as I have at least thirty six infantry to get painted. Not to mention three more Mordheim gangs and a pile more undead.
Tonight I did some more work on the trolls.
These are nearly finished, hopefully tomorrow I will get them completed. Then onto more goblins.
So this is my last evening at home for a while so I decided to crack on with the big boys/girls.
Still a bit to do, but it is less to do when I come back. Typically the washer decided to spring a leak today so it will probably be new washer time when I return… that and pay for the car repairs. April is going to be a bloody expensive month!
I got the Frogherd finished this evening and made a good start on a second.
All of the ones I have painted have armoured footwear. Initially I thought this odd as they would sink into the mire… then it dawned on me that there might be things in a swamp that you wouldn’t want to step in with bare feet.
Foolishly I decided to browse Kickstarter this evening!
March to Hell are doing Vietnam … sooooo tempted!
Must resist, must resist, must resist! Hopefully the free miniatures in 15 and 28mm I downloaded are crap!
I managed to get the pale blue frog repainted …
I am actually pleased that the original yellow shows through. I think that it looks fine the way it is.
This month trolls and frog riders are coming out. Those frogs are going to be Plain colours as opposed to the recent lot.
