A Tale of Four Gamers - the Sequel

[Steve J]

Steve has gone Glasgow, it seems.

Very good     . Sadly my shaky hand is to blame, which some days makes painting impossible and typing a challenge as you can see!

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Highlights done, flesh base coated and inked.

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Much painting done since my last posts.
Lot of stuff very very nearly done.
Some actually done. Photos tomorrow.
Some new old bits started,
The wargames butterfly is flapping like crazy, at least four projects and one commission on the go. Some I'm enjoying, some less so. Distraction involves some 80s GW stuff. Even had to go deep into wargames history to find a scheme for one ancient fantasy figure. The main reference I found was painted by a certain Phil Lewis...

[Steve J]

A change of tack and a unit of Cuirassiers for the ECW base coated and washed, ready for highlights and lacquer tonight.

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Basing day.
Lots of PVA slopping about!

[Steve J]

A mix of stuff primed, some hopefully to be entered into the painting competition...

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

That stage where you've highlighted the coats, done the flesh, and added black hats and boots, and figures suddenly start looking good.

[Steve J]

A 19thC photographer, reporter and camera painted this evening. Flocking tomorrow morning.

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Hat brims done.
19th Century types base coated and inked.

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Couldn't sleep this morning,
So cross belts, reins, rifle stocks, webbing, sone flesh tones done and a few bases inked.
Various random stages on two different projects basically.b

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Facings, collars and iron works done.

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Flashes and feathers on the geegees.

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Too wet to walk the hound this morning, so C19TH types got final flesh highlights, trousers and hats toned down, bronze bits and reins done.

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Finished an C18th batch for a commission, a C19th batch for myself.
Bases painted, sealed and clumped, along with more goblins  and a rebase of the existing figures for the C19th batch that a friend sold me, tomorrow will see them flocked and tufted.
Some might even get into the painting comp. Just as padding mind.

[FierceKitty]

Ancient Germans done. We may try 'em out against Gauls this afternoon.

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

24 bases of 15mm cavalry horses finished today, on to the riders later.
More 10mm Sudan worked on too.

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

15mm riders base coated and inked.
Flesh tones and inks on Egyptian and Sudanese

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Massive progress today, only got bronze, hair, details and tidying up to do.
Then basing for ten mms

After a bit of a hiatus due to real life and colds, I made a start on painting a Fokker Triplane that was bought years ago, a simple starter kit IIRC. All part of my plan for a narrative AVBCW campaign in due course.

[Steve J]

Base coats and wash applied on the Fokker triplane. A mix of WWI and Inter-War vehicles all ready to prime later once it warms up a bit. Real life still severely impacting available time to paint .
