[FierceKitty]

Should finish the Iron Brigade and the Ohio cavalry this evening, DV.

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

12 infantry in 15mm done, plus 18 10mm peasants with arquibus done for my Samurai force, 30 Musket armied Ashugau to do next (& still haven't finished the s*dding camp!

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

FINALLY finished painting the figures for my extended Samurai army camp, just got to base it and extended the surrounding wrap (it must have a formal name, but it's too early to research that).
Just 30 republican and two command figures to go before Warfare...

Basing up an ECW regimental gun and crew for use with my 'The Pikemen's Lament' Companies. Ditto odd civilian figures for decoration and useful for certain scenarios. Very enjoyable.

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

30 figures base coated and inked tonight.
Yay, progress! 

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

30 Ashugaru finished tonight.
Varnish tomorrow and onto mdf, their first run out tomorrow night and then into basing over the weekend.

Michigan and North Carolina regiments, Rush's lancers, a couple of sub-commanders, and some Choctaw auxiliaries to be done, observation balloons and stretcher teams finished, and the Dixies can fire on Fort Sumpter (sp?).

Only managed some basing of spare figures so far this week, due to evenings having been busy with family stuff. Nice to have created some different units though.

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

80odd Principes started for my stalled Middle Republican Roman project. along with a whole heap of Renaissance generals, heavy knights and arquibusiers, a band and a chorus line for that 10mm Renaissance commission.

Bases painted, highlighted, edged and sealed.

Samurai camp and shooters done, photos tomorrow. Much progress on other bits too

 * Top Tip of the Day *

Vallejo Paints: Never squeeze the bottle too hard when pointing the bottle with the cap off at an upward angle towards the far end of the room .....     

Completed painting 16 SYW Austrian fusiliers today ..... including the successful removal of unwanted paint from two of the said, completed figures.

Glad you managed to clean it off the figures

Have you looked at cleaning the rest of the room yet

[Steve J]

Another unit of shot completed for my 'The Pikemen's Lament' Company's. A load of flocking etc to be done tomorrow, which should then allow me to get in some small games of the aforementioned rules, or a 'standard' game of 'Dragon Rampant'.

Until about a month ago I did not know that the nipple dispenser can thread out with the cap. Did not notice until I tipped the bottle over the dish.
It flows out really fast!

[FierceKitty]

Time to complete a couple of ping-pong ball observation balloons.

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Highlights, flesh base and Indonesia tonight.
Slow progress, but I want to get these right...

There's a lot of Indonesia to paint

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

I know, that's why it's taking me soooooooo long!
