A Tale of Four Gamers - the Sequel

[fsn]

Hey Lemmey! Leave those kits alone!

You said WW2 ships are base coated. Are they 1:600? If so please, please, please, please could you do a step by step with photos? I've got some stuck in a box somewhere and I haven't had the courage to start painting.

Pleeaasee. Be your friend forever! 



If they're 1:3000 I've already done mine so - bye now.

Hey Lemmey! Leave those kits alone!

All in all, you're just another brick in the wall.

1:3000, sorry mate.

Inks on, clumps on many many many bases

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Tufts on, just flags and labels now.

Not painting per se, but I got my paint box out to check if any had dried up since they were last used around 4 months ago. Luckily only some ones I don't use had bitten the dust and frankly I should have ditched them years ago as they were taking up valuable space. Who knows, painting might resume chez moi soon?

Doing some axes and tridents for my rather tame-looking Magister Militum Chinese guards troops.

Assembling some Battlefront Cents and M42's, not much fun. Why will resin and metal never bond ? Tomorrow if it's quiet I'll be assembling some 10mm Sparabatha.

[Steve J]

Normally the resin will have a slight covering of release agent on it. Wash it in soapy water, then rough up the surfaces to be glued with sandpaper. I used to used Araldite rather than Superglue as it has better gap filling properties, as the Battlefront casting used to be all over the place.

[Lord Kermit of Birkenhead]

Ta Steve. No gaps but the Cents did feel rather greasy. No probs with bublles or flash though.

I had 24 hours off painting yesterday (mosylt as I was sorting the photos of the 446 figures I posted yesterday). Siamese guards and 7yw next batch base coated and inked today, *content sigh*.

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Next batch of AWS and Siamese just finished being painted sand and pva on bases of those that needed it..

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Bases painted, highlighted and sealed.

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Conversions done, base coat and inks on last batch of Orcs' stuff, some FPW French and the final set of Siamese.

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Siamese elephants and escorts done, Thai flavour, lots of research on the right colours for their flesh. Just need to do the riders and crew. Just got to be brave and switch the super-thin-super-bendy lead with pins. *shudders*
Orcs cavalry nearly-nearly-nearly done.
As are the various FPW French...
Nearly...

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Elephants prettified and FPW & Orcs last batch done, apart from tidying up.
