May I resurrect an old saw of this forum and ask if we may have photographs, because "pictures sell"? That and I can never seem to get good SF camo.

Mine are based on ignoring Ridley Scott's 'Aliens' film.
Will post piccies when done.

I think my problem is that I think - "distant planets. Plant life may not be based on chlorophyll. The light will not have the same wave length as ours" and try a colour scheme that makes my space marine a cross between Darth Vader and a Pride march. Think Aztec with less feathers.

Back to the GNW now after a frenzied fortnight of building 10mm Japanese bunkers for the SELWG game. First battalion of the Moskovski regiment now based and ready for flocking and flagging. Only problem - this particular regiment had three battalions, instead of the usual two.

Those bunkers looked very good for a frenzied build =D> :-bd =D> :-bd

I seem to have spent all my gaming time (which really isn't much at the moment anyway) prepping figures: so, I've now assembled:

Royalists & Rebels for Monmouth Rebellion
Ottomans (Renaissance)
WW1 EW Germans & Brits - both mine & a painting commission

Still need to assemble:
Polish (Renaissance)
1809 French & Austrian reinforcements (picked up unexpectedly as a gaming friend's attention has wandered...)
My Secret Project

Then it'll be texturing the bases. Yawn.

Work has got in the way of figure painting over the last week, so have been making some 28mm scenery for IHMN. Hope to return to figure painting later this week though.

Undercoating 1870 Prussians to finish VIII Corps. Varnish on Sci Fi marines.
Highlights on a batch of 1:3000 ships. Detail work on them tomorrow, hopefully.  :D

Got the three eastern front buildings I bought at SELWG from Timecast painted up. It's an indication of how good they are that it only took a single evening to get them to a good standard.

Painted a rather good obelisk from that friendly fellow at Leven yesterday. Now working on a model of Hon-Tsiu Jo for Japanese battles; Piotrgorod is ready for action too.
