ECW project - For King and Parliament

[paulr]

Painting progress has been delayed by:

• gardening
• house maintenance, I managed to stay on the ladder while fixing the guttering
• playing a couple of games
• writing up the after action reports http://www.pendrakenforum.co.uk/index.php/topic,17883.0.html

• gardening
• house maintenance, I managed to stay on the ladder while fixing the guttering

Follow my methods of gardening, Paul.

'Nuke' everything with the strongest weedkiller you can get.......
Guttering.....I haven't got an answer for that one.....VILE job.

Base coated all the jackets, takes longer than it sounds as they are semi-random colours

Started on the trousers

[paulr]

Finished trousers

Started highlighting jackets and trousers

[paulr]

Good progress today:

• finished highlighting jackets and trousers
• base coated hats, bonnets and boots
• highlighted hats, bonnets and boots
• started on manes and tails, Bays and Browns done

Paul let me have a quick look at the latest batch of figures when I went to collect him for last nights game.

Looking very nice indeed.....the Pendraken Scots Cavalry looks quite distinct from their English contemporaries.

Time to get some of my MDF bases assembled and painted/flocked...using the same system as Paul has.

Finished the manes and tails

Hooves done

Started on the tack

Glued up the sabots for the English and painted the first side
As Pierre the Shy noted above he will be basing the Scots

[paulr]

Made good progress on the horse once I got the tack finished

Saddle blankets, wood, scabbards and belts done

Painting was briefly interrupted by a couple earthquakes

The larger one was 6.2 but fortunately over 200km deep and about 360km away

Also finished painting the sabots and bases

Not what I was expecting to read halfway down. Hope everyone is unscathed.

[paulr]

Looks as though there was no significant damage and no one hurt
Good thing the quake was so deep

Swords base coated and pistols done

Not what I was expecting to read halfway down. Hope everyone is unscathed.

Definitely seconded !!
Glad everything was OK, Paul.

  Most definitely on a different scale (no pun intended) to my experience!   

I do my painting on the kitchen table. We have a particularly springy floor at the point everyone walks past the table on their way to the sink. Usually this happens when you are doing fine detail. I've got it down to a fine art now (i.e., recognising when someone is about to walk past and stopping painting) but, at first, there was many a smudged figure that had to be re-done. Much less warning with an earthquake, of course, where you are - these are extremely rare where I live and when they do, almost negligible - your experience makes me appreciate the high rainfall we get here instead!

Was under my desk at work PDQ when the quake happened but no damage anywhere this time thank goodness....went on for a looooong time though.

So glad everyone is OK!

Does give this thread a certain,"Other than that, how did you enjoy the play, Mrs Lincoln?" vibe though.

May all your earthquakes be deep and distant, whoever and wherever you are!!
