BOFA Goblins

This evening I did a bit of work on a couple of the goblins.

There is still along way to go which is probably why I have a bit of a problem with them. The one with the bow doesn’t actually have surfer shorts on, it is in fact a kilt type of thing. I will crack on with them tomorrow and hopefully get them finished.

This evening I finished watching ‘All of us are Dead’. I actually really enjoyed it, although I am not ashamed to admit it … there were a few moist eye moments. I only hope to god they don’t bring out a second series and leave it where it is at.

BOFA Humans

As i said yesterday, I was a bit lacking in the human side of the battle of the five Armies. So this evening I evened things up a bit and got these two done…

Tomorrow I hope to get some work done on the Goblins.

Diorama Miniatures Painted

Tonighti managed to get the Wolves and Goblin finished as well as pretty much do the same with the elf and dwarf…

I was going to put them on a base I already have, but I think I will make something a bit bigger.

Today was more papering, I managed another wall even though my back and legs were giving me gyp. We had to go and buy more paper as we had a change of ideas.. I think we made the right choice. I am hoping to get the rest of the lounge done tomorrow.

The Goblin and the Wolves

Last night I worked on this trio

Still some work to do on them and for some reason yhey have gone a bit shiny. Nothing a blast of matt varnish won’t cure.

Unfortunately the printer did something weird on the single wolf and although I hoped it wouldn’t be too obvious, it was.

Tonight I hope to finish these and work on the elf and the dwarf.

Last of the Elves… For Now

So I suddenly remembered that there were two Catalucian officers sitting in full view and have been since… at least 3rd February… so this evening instead of the Samurai I thought I might as well get them finished to join the rest of them.

To be honest, nothing fancy. The one in green has a weird moustache and in hindsight perhaps a lighter colour might have been a better choice for it. I feel a colour change coming on tomorrow.

Five More Finished

This evening I cracked on and got the remaining foot painted and based up.

So that is them all done apart from these two

Since this photo was taken I have managed to paint the base brown and add a black edge 😃. I am going to try and get them finished tomorrow.

Working on the Elves

I spent the last couple of days adding bits of white to the undercoated then Contrast covered elves. This evening I started adding colour to them.

As you can see these are different to the others, the drummer is still a mystery to me. I actually think he is kne of the Ferach (French) elves. The shako cover really does make me think that… I just couldn’t be bothered to check it out. Well he is now in the pay of the Catalucian elves…

Hopefully I will crack on with these tomorrow. Luckily I am on my Easter break so I might get the chance for sneaky painting sessions during the day.

Elves Finished…

Well, these ones are Finished… However, I have another five to make a start on tomorrow.

All, finished

Once I have all of the Catalucian’s painted then I will give them all a varnish at the same time.

These are the remaining ones that need an undercoat.

For reasons known only to myself, I bought a drummer! The only thing I can think of is that I was meant to get a sergeant ir something from the command pack and ended up clicking the wrong thing. I just checked and I cannot find him anywhere!

The Spanish Take Shape

This evening I managed to make a bit more progress with the Spanish, or rather Catalucian Elves.

Two grenadiers, two irregulars, two line and a light infantryman. Obviously these are elves, but I have tried to use 1808 Spanish uniforms for ideas… as an example the grenadiers and regulars should have white cross belts, but as they are fantasy, then mine have black.

I actually used Speedpaints for the purple, but as you can imagine I was super careful to make sure it only went where it should go, especially when the uniform was white. Obviously I could have chosen a whole host of facing colours, but I fancied purple.

I still have to work on the white on the uniforms, as can be seen on the grayish leg on one of the regulars.

Out of interest, Shetland had a bit of an unusual visitor in one of the voes near to where I live…

The above is a sperms whale and it is bloody huge, sadly, as it is huge, it shouldn’t be there. I took some better photos with my camera. I will share them on the Shetland blog when I get them off.

The whale is still hanging in there…

NEXT!

This evening I ended up late in, but wanted to do something hobby wise, in the end I decided to put some Flintloque miniatures onto some 2p coins and get them sprayed.

It might actually kickstart me into finishing the two officers, last seen in this state….

To be honest I am not looking forwards to the white uniforms on some of them. I am hoping the white Contrast paint will help.

I am going to get back into a kayak tomorrow evening at a pool session with the Shetland Kayak club, so the above miniatures will probably be started on Friday.

It wasn’t a bad evening on the way to do the horse…
