Now I've finished my wine exam, barring results, painting has restarted in earnest.

I had a wine exam.

Well, I have examined wine...

Base coats and inks tentatively on some figures, not sure if they are right though.

While waiting for basing to dry, and to see how badly a basing experiment will go wrong, I've assembled my WWII Polish.
.
And started a mental list of what else I want/need/desire for them....

After the Xmas rush has ended, and I actually have a day at home,Ive base coated and inked the Poles.
Only to discover my armour base colour had practically been finished,so anirder to Leon was placed, that might feature extra transport for the Poles. And tanks for Early War Germans...

Having added a painting desk to my games room (aka the spare bedroom), I've managed to base coat some PzIV's and Panthers, as well as some 6mm buildings. Being able to leave stuff out is such a luxury and will hopefully improve my painting out put!

Anirdir? Remind me, was that Elrond's half-mother, Anirdir the Wolf-Speaker? Or is it a material used in the manufacture of troll-proof cloaks?

Camo scheme added to the PzIv's this morning, with details to follow and then a Devlin Mud wash. Arm a bit shaky today so not easy doing said scheme. The details should be easier though... :-\ !

Details and wash added last night, but not easy with the old shaky arm :( .

 5 x Pz IV's completed this afternoon. Having a dedicated painting area as part of the games room has really made a difference to my output and my enjoyment :) !

10mm WW2 Polish Infantry done.
As in, needs basing, and I'm sure I'll add more, but the initial batch are complete.  8)

3 x Battlescale 6mm buildings done, bar the doors and window frames. A real pleasure to paint :) .

Steve J

Buildings finished and the BUA bases had large clump foliage applied. SWMBO is happy that I now have my own space, which is rather nice :) .

It does!

glad you are getting more painting done and it fits better domestically too. 

I'd get very little done if I had to make space to setup every time.

It was all going so well on the Polish armour, even if my Darks and was too yellow for camo,and I had to repaint all thecamo flashes in buff. That was until I stripped the paint off a truck while attempting to add it's canopy, it's a tight fit! Then realised I was quite a few physical bases short of what I needed!  :'( 10 minutes basing work, done.  ;D
But that also convinced me to start the 3 Pz38(t) to bolster my Early War Germans that have been somewhat lagging behind in the arms race!  8)
