Hundred Years War - DBA

[paulr]

I've made some progress on the Scottish Knights in this batch of the French army, main clothing colours done

[paulr]

Finished the base colours for the Scottish Knights in this batch of the French army

First clothing colour done on the rest of this batch

I've finished as bottle of Vallejo paint

Deck tan which I use for a lot of un-dyed linen and similar colours, also for a final dry brush on almost all figures

I'm not sure how long I've been using this particular bottle but it pre-dates me joining the forum so is probably about 10 years

Second & third clothing colours done on the rest of this batch

Hats done

[pierre the shy]

Crickey how many French and allies have you got left to do? 

[mmcv]

Must be nearing that time again where the question over the next project looms?

[Lord Kermit of Birkenhead]

It will come to you soon....

Crickey how many French and allies have you got left to do? 

This is the last of the second French army, six camps, Scots and Free Company to go

With my 'new' job progress has been a patchy

Must be nearing that time again where the question over the next project looms?

I've combined with Pierre the Shy on an order to Navwar, my part will round out my WW2 naval forces (US 5 BB, 1 CA; Australia 1 CA, 2 DD; Japan 2 CL)

This will be my next mini-project, after I paint up some more ECW figures for Pierre the Shy

[mmcv]

Very good, no time for slacking!

More progress this afternoon

Wood, feathers, boots and half the belts & scabbards

I will be impressive to see all these armies in action on the table in a BBDBA game.....

[paulr]

Once I've finished this batch of French and done the six camps there will be enough troops for a BBDBA game

I might even take a break from medieval and paint some ECW Scots & Irish

Second half of the belts & scabbards done

Brass done

Trying to get back into doing a bit each evening

[paulr]

Manes, tails & hooves done on the horses

Added a bit more colour to some of the Scottish knights

Painted the second side of the bases for this batch

Cut out the styrene bases for the six camps I'm doing for this project
Remembered that I need to sand them
I should have ordered MDF ones from Pendraken but it took me about 3 weeks to decide how big to make them and I really needed to have the tents to make the final call

[paulr]
