Knowing the difference between a haver and a hacksaw is an important test of reality, Mr Lemmy. Glad you sorted it out on your own.

A few more steps after touch ups; wash, final dry brush, basing, flock touch up, shrubbery, varnish

Then piccies

Touch ups done

The current batch will be washed later today once the touch ups are really dry

While I'm waiting I label the bases

I've prepared the next batch, Arnold's Loyalist foot; Queen's Rangers Foot, Loyal American Regiment, and Benedict Arnold's American Legion (all 35 men)

Bases labelled

Wash done, except for the artillery trails which will be done once the wash on the rest of the gun has dried enough

Do you wash them on the driveway as well? I don't like the strange look people give me when i take them to the carwash...

Keep up the good work!

paulr · 05 February 2018, 01:22:59 AM

Shrubbery, base edges and flag done

Weather not cooperating, too windy for varnishing

Will have to wait for tomorrow

Current batch; coats dry brushed, trousers done
