2018 painting challenge: reduce the mountain some more!

Bugger, glad you managed to save most of it #

There's a forum member calling himself that name? Someone's out and proud!

[paulr]

Kiwi usage is a bit different, apologies if any offended

bugger	Usage similar to "damn". Made famous (or infamous) in the 1999 Toyota vehicle ads. https://www.nzonscreen.com/embed/e5a6a7f7ecc8f2f9 The original meaning is seldom used in New Zealand. The term can also be used to refer to a person, e.g. "he's a cheeky little bugger."
bugger all	Not much; very little. "I've got bugger all money left after the weekend."
bugger off	Go away. Same as piss off.
buggered	Exhausted; tired. "I'm buggered."
	Broken. "It's completely buggered."
	An expression of surprise or amazement. "Well I'll be bugger."

I know. But who could resist the opportunity! Just playing silly Bulgars (who, by the way, are in fact the origin of the term - part of a Byzantine defamation campaign against the Bogomil heresy).

Well bugger me, I didn't know that

Looking forward to seeing some or whatever else moves to the top of Peter's list

Depends on the mood when I start my next painting session, but pirates should be up next now!

Plague zombies! Do the plague zombies!

Quality progress

Now, should we establish a figure scale ratio?
How many 10mm is a 28mm worth?

[petercooman]

No problem there, everything on my list is 28 mm 

But since you ask, a model is a model , no matter what scale.

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Phew, that's alright then!

239, soon to be 340, then 370 by Friday night...

[petercooman]

 show-off!     

Wish I had the time for the moment?

Bugger: One who exterminates insects as in "The Bugger should arrive at 10am, be sure the cat's water dish is covered."

[petercooman]

Should really start painting pirates, just can't get myself going on the painting front. 

[petercooman]

Made some good progress on the pirates. Most of the clothing has been painted. Now need to do hair,skin,belts and weapons.

I'll be happy when they are finished. Looking forward to painting some uniformed troops. Takes a whole lot longer painting irregulars!

Actually, thinking about it, except for the marines, I have painted nothing but irregulars since the start of the christmass break!

[paulr]

Good to hear you're making progress

[petercooman]

Skin , belts and weapons done. hope i can get there by the end of next week!
