Come on Matron,  crack open the old enamels,  it's not like you've got a "proper" job  :D
Buy plenty of Matron's sculpts now!

If he keeps using the chainsaw, the value of his work will soon go up.

Horse furniture. Boring as hell!

Horses have furnished stables?   :o

Fair enough I suppose, but not the sort of thing you see usually shared on the forum

Toy soldiers!

Something of a disadvantage for a wargamer, I feel.

I love the end result, the process ... not so much.


This. Just this.

I actually like painting horses. For me, I don't like painting limbers.

This. Totally this. Doubly so when you can't find any conclusive reference to colour, do it a generic colour and then immediately find condescending "everyone knows blah-blah always had purple coloured gear" that some how escaped notice..

Or even just black. As you then go back and repaint black all the stuff you undercoated black and then painted over...
