A Tale of Four Gamers - the Sequel

[Steve J]

Thanks Phil. Certainly taking it easy as I keeping knocking the scab, which is painful and bloody annoying!

[paulr]

Don't go too mad Steve......Just in case.

But that's good progress...Very pleased for you !!

Cheers - Phil

Sounds like the voice of experience

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Bases painted, highlighted and sealed. Some pre20th Century foot highlighted and fleshed...

At least I've got a lot of plasters.....Haven't I, Mark ? ! 

Cheers - Phil

Next unit for painting competition finished, sand and pva applied (there's only 12 of them, so not a buggy really)

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

And 8 figures assembled for next but three entry...

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

10mm DPM, why do I do this to myself! 

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Commission renaissance batch of about 150 figures almost finished the highlighting stage, then, just flesh, leatherwork, woodwork and heraldry, followed by banners to do. And I thought I was nearly done...
One competition entry finished, next two competition entries up to the basing, sand and pva stage too.

Weather cool enough to paint and hand ok to hold the painting stick today . So seizing the opportunity, I base coated a Char St Chamand in a funky camo scheme and gave it a Devlin Mud wash, ready for drybrushing tomorrow. In the process I 'found' some tanks I had painted earlier this year but had completely forgotten about  !!!

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Forgotten tanks! Best type...
Kind of girlzundpanzer vibe...

[Steve J]

Tank finished bar a coat of varnish later when everything is dry. Then a search for some possible decals to put on it, if not, off to the Minibits/Pendraken sites for a gander...

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Flesh done and inked, turnbacks, collars and cuffs whited ready for facing colours, then added webbing on six more AWI units tonight, rather enjoyed it too! 

[FierceKitty]

Today we start priming Mexicans. Phew, this is going to be a big one, as the actress said to the bishop.

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Facings and turnbacks then flesh highlights done tonight.

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Two more AWI units assembled, and some werewolves for Warband too.

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Batch done, just need basing now.

[FierceKitty]

50/50 mix of burnt sienna and yellow ochre seems about right for Mexican skin.

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Next batch of Papal goodness started, the machine is in full flow...

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

And nearly done, just tidying up and deciding which figures might need moustaches tomorrow!

[Westmarcher]

Having accidentally broken off a figure on a base of SYW Prussian Jagers the other week, I dug out the 'spares box' to find a replacement to paint up and, whilst pleasantly surprised, didn't know if I should be happy or concerned.

Surprise No.1 was a partially painted Jager figure (result!) which I had started but then stopped painting when first making up the Jager unit but had completely forgotten about (I think I must have decided I had enough figures for the unit and would keep this one to start off a dismounted dragoons unit).

Surprise No.2 was a fully painted and based 15mm ACW Dahlgren Naval Gun & Crew that I had painted earlier in the year and, again, completely forgotten about! 

Has anyone else had similar 'surprises?'
