A Tale of Four Gamers - the Sequel

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

The Amazing Mrs Denham too the youngest swimming this afternoon, the eldest has been curled up on the sofa all day feeling pesky, so the paints came out for an hour.
Three stands of Warband Dark Elf extras completed apart from one flag and the basing.
Started highlighting some 15mm Roman cavalry for the next commission.
Plus ink and some base layer on epic 6mm Eldar.

Base layers complete on Eldar, Roman cavalry basic highlights done. Dark Elf flag sorted!

Virginia and Connecticut regiments done; undercoating New Yorkers and Tennessee forces.

Painting on 18 x 15mm Late Roman Cavalry (commission) finished tonight. They will be based for their owner in the next few days. Spent 3.5 hours on shields, and they're not even a complex one!! 

Also got the second highlight in my 10 epic Eldar vehicles tonight.

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Sixteen 15mm Renaissance cavalry, 3 Epic Eldar night spinners finished tonight.
Five stands of Epic Eldar Scouts started.
Just waiting on Leon & crew to send through 'special basing' for my Eldar vehicles.

Plastic rods have arrived at last from the US. A bit of 1918 air action soon, I think.

Oooo...

2mm progress last night

Also shovelled PVA/filler onto my 6mm Tusk bases so they currently look like Christmas cake toppers!  

Still can't decide between the classic snowfield; verdant interglacial or fecund step-tundra looks though...

Cheers!

Five stands of Eldar scouts finished tonight apart from basing.

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

One Warband base, one base of Triarii, 6 anti-tank obstacles, 9 jet bikes bases, and one character base sand & pva'd tonight. Inks tomorrow, painting and flock and tufts, all before their first outing on Thor's day!
Hoping Leon and co send the other bases through quick so I can get the vehicles flying too! 

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Bases mentioned above inked.
Six bases (24 figures) base coated and inked of Timecast Russians.  Just filling in, been sitting on the deck for ages.
After 50odd 15mm cavalry which were given to me to do in April, ready for not-Derby in October; various WSS hit the painting decks!

Swore lots, late yesterday afternoon, as the light was fading.
Was at a critical stage on a particular figure, when we had a power cut.
MOST power cuts here are simple 'mains flicks', when the power distributors switch something off and on and power's back on within a few seconds.
(This is still a right pain, as I have to go and reset the boiler's timer, each time this happens....But that's the only thing that's really vexing.)
Not last night, though !

After about an hour the power returned..."Hooray !".....Then went straight off again...."B*llocks !"
(Sarcastic phone call to the power company time.)........(Von made the second call an hour later, as she didn't want me upsetting the poor sod on the end of the line.)

At least it's back now. I wonder whose tractor went through the bloody wires.

That great Spanish painter Goya* had a hat with a row of nails projecting from the brim. To paint at night he would attach candles to these nails.

Just a suggestion. 

What could go wrong?





*For many year the Wellington pub in Runcorn had Goya's portrait of the great man as it's sign. A few years ago it was refurbished and they've replaced it with a picture of the Prince Regent as George IV.

Bases painted, highlighted and sealed last night, Russians progeessed

But where  you are I would have thought you didn't even have gas lights....
