I prime by hand so missing bits doesn't really happen.

The base coat was done by hand but still managed to miss some areas for example under the body by the legs...

Varnished the Germans this evening

Sorry, too busy assembling trenches to take any pictures before the light went

I will hopefully get a chance to take pictures tomorrow while the filler is drying in the trenches

[Leman]

I base my figures individually on small lengths of dowel so that I can turn them easily:

[paulr]

That would certainly help

Lovely job, by the way 

[paulr]

After the good progress this morning on the trenches I got a chance to take some pictures of the Germans this afternoon.

The sun was quite low so I was having to use my shadow to block the direct sun, so apologies for the picture quality

Light Horse have been packed away along with the rest of my painting stuff in preparation for a BBQ we are hosting tomorrow

Lots of kids so temptations need to be out of site

[Techno]

A BBQ ?

You really, really know how to rub it in, don't you, Paul ? 

Cheers - Phil (Did actually see the sun over the past couple of days... ..It didn't hang around for long though  )

[paulr]

We've had rain and damaging gales today 

But the forecast is better for tomorrow

[paulr]

Light Horse have now been brought back out after a very successful BBQ, weather cooperated very well on the day, then turned to crap again and of course delays due to trenching

Horses have now been dry-brushed

Uniforms next...

[paulr]

Painted shirts on some of the Light Horse, a few BEA4 East/South African mounted rifles figures there for variety, and did a 'paint conversion' of the jackets to shirts on some of the ME5 Australian cavalry

[paulr]

All uniforms base coated, one third dry brushed
ShIrts dry brushed

[paulr]

Another successful day at ValleyCon

The sheik Sa'ad scenario worked well and nicely filled the full day

Pictures and an AAR to follow when I have recovered from two days fairly solid gaming

[Techno]

 

Looking forward to that, Paul. 
Cheers - Phil

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Sounds great
