A Tale of Four Gamers - the Sequel

[Steve J]

Grit applied to bases and hopefully it will be warm enough tomorrow for some priming.

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Base coat and inks on the latest batch of infantry.
Cavalry might get to the same stage later...

[Steve J]

Bases primed and base colour applied, with drybrushing to follow once dry.

Drybrushing has commenced.

[Steve J]

Bases all drybrushed and figures given a brown drybrush to bring out the detail, which is superb.

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Futility room floor screeded today.

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Dry brushing done, flesh on, inked and first highlights on.

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Flesh finished, wood and leatherwork done, metalwork done and inked.
Just details on Daciams and webbing on moderns to do..

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Two orders arrived today.

Ooohh shiny! There's some lovely stuff in there, some for me, some for clients, some purely for the painting competition...

Already also assembled most of it.

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Base coats and inks late last night, first highlight this morning before breakfast on some of the stuff, which is trying to catch up with the rest of the stuff already on the painting desk.

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Extras caught up to main batch, apart from theor boots and then rifle butts on about 5 figures.

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Lots of stuff finished today after work, ready for a mass basing session tomorrow - along with the Dacians:-
South Korean infantry company and heavy weapons company, over 150 figures, including painting four extra .303cal MMG teams that I had missed off the batch.
Two pieces of WW2 armour.
Three bases of American transportation from a previous century.
Assembled and undercoated my next 28mm Street War gang, who need bases sculpting.
Finished a sci-fi figure that had been in the painting pile for at least 8 years.
Finished a 15mm bowman that had escaped (from a commission).
A lot of fear of the unknown got through with these, that's the main thing that stops me starting a project.

And two online quick play gladiator games won tonight too.
And a roast dinner cooked and eaten.
And time reading with the youngest after helping her with her coding school work.
Must decide what to paint over half term too.

Well done that man

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Many batches finished tonight. Photos of some later.
Pity I missed a base out, its waiting for glue to dry so I can flock and tuft it, then inish these photos tomorrow.
New batches assembled.

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Well, that was a weird day of prepping and base coating.
Ray asked me to build and base, but not paint, 33 New Kingdom Egyptian chariots for him.
So yesterday was prep, clean, assemble chariots, attach horses, putty up bases.
This morning was sand and pav bases, this afternoon was sealing it.
While I was waiting for things to dry I base coated several 10mm units and some 28mm Napoleonic French for a commission.
Fun researching the 10mms
