Mustering the Troops - Paul's modest contribution

[getagrip]

Maybe you should sculpt one or model a severed stump?

If I tried to sculpt one it would probably end up looking like a severed stump

There are a number of wounded poses, a number of painters (including my son) have commented how sad it is painting them

A very productive weekend  

Current batch on this project all touched up and will be washed after work tomorrow  

10mm Turks washed  

Good game last night http://www.pendrakenforum.co.uk/index.php/topic,11285.msg156067.html#msg156067

Reviewed Peter's scenario for our ANZAC day game, very well done scenario that looks very interesting

Started reading Chain of Command by TFL, interesting   Looking to give it a trial run with counters after our ANZAC game

Two more batches of 54mm figures have arrived from the Perrys so it looks like I will have some more to paint - 15 days 21 hours left

Keep going, Paul 

Did you notice any effects from that cyclone ?......I assume you were hundreds of miles away.
But as it was SO severe......

Cracking game, love the use of armoured cars and infantry rather than loads of super biffy tanks

Also being distracted by planning 1/4,800 Napoleonic naval

Nothing yet, tail end of it should arrive tonight

Will probably be some rain and a bit of wind. Use to wind living in Wellington, anything under 100kmph is not worth commenting on 

Will likely be worse for the Gisborne area, schools closed today

The Thumbling Dice ones come with caste masts and rigging. I'm looking to fight big battles and the ships are cheap
Also 1:4,800 is a workable ground scale, 4cm to the cable

Current batch washed on Monday night and highlighted yesterday, did the final silver highlighting before work this morning 

The missing arm has been replaced thanks to a personal visit by the organiser, the Armchair General 

Looks like I should be able to pick up my next batch from the local organiser tonight or tomorrow   

Will probably be Turkish wounded 
Some of the painters, including my son, have commented on how sad it is to paint significant numbers of wounded/dead

[paulr]

I will be picking up my last batch about noon tomorrow  

Just under 10 days to go  

[paulr]

I have now varnished the 24 figures I have painted...

[Techno]

Cracking work, Paul !
Cheers - Phil.

Brilliant, Paul. Congratulations.

Just picked up my last batch of this project 

10 New Zealanders 

All casualties in various poses 

Will have to improvise a bit on colours, will see what I need to buy vs mix something close enough

Less than 9 days to go

New batch cleaned up and washed
