I blame Peter Jackson and the Perrys for the delay on these figures  

How cool is that sentence?

. Just about sums it up I think.

Before leaving for work this morning I shook and brushed off the excess flock on about half the bases I did yesterday. Seems to have worked well 

Some touch up flocking will be required and the edges will need a paint. They will be ready for ANZAC day 

[paulr]

Touch up flocking done
Edges painted 

Now I just need some varnishing weather  before ANZAC Day 

Also got a chance to prep and undercoat the next batch
- a battalion of the Camel Corps Brigade
- a Field artillery battery, 3 models
- a Horse artillery battery, 2 models

First colour done on a quarter of the camels before I headed out to work this morning  

I've decided to go with four colours for the camels; buff, dark sand and a couple of light browns. I'll see how they looked after they've been highlighted

[fred.]

I think only a wargamer or interior decorator would think of those as four different colours

Or my wife.

Or debate if the off white highlight should be stone grey, deck tan or Ivory

All camels base coated, used German Camo Beige and Tan Earth for the browns 

Started green base coat on artillery

Have you ever tried to tan a camel? You can't get it to lie down on the sunbed...

Camels have had lighter 'underside' tone applied and saddle blankets painted

Guns have had a very weathered sand colour applied, allowing the green to show through where the sand paint has 'worn off'

I suspect there won't be much more progress on these today as I have been given a list of domestic tasks that require my attention

Can't really complain after the high painting workload for the last two months and spending the last two weekends working with the Perrys

Will make sure I take some pictures of the Ottoman Arabs I varnished during the week
