Third painting rod of shield fronts done

[pierre the shy]

First batch of the Iberians were varnished yesterday

Hopefully it will be sunny enough this afternoon for picces

First painting rod of shield fronts done

Four and a third left to do

I had to read that twice......thought you were talking about the number of armies you have left to finish rather than shields for a moment   

[paulr]

 

I'm not quite that fast

Fourth painting rod of shield fronts done 

The sun did break through occasionally this afternoon, but never long enough to take pictures

[paulr]

Finished painting rod of shield fronts

Tunic trim done

Started base coating skin

[paulr]

Finished base coating skin

For some reason this particular step seemed to be a lot of work

Perhaps the number of figures in this batch, 128
Perhaps the quite 'closed' poses of the Scutarii, particularly the swordsmen

[paulr]

Finished the boots

And the sun came out briefly so...

Touch ups done last night

Wash done this morning

A few moments of concern when I realised that I'm getting near the end of the paint I use for the wash
I then checked and I do have another full pot That should last me another couple of projects

I'm also running low on Deck Tan which I use, among other things, for the final dry brush
This wasn't a concern as I remembered noticing I was running low and ordering some more when I ordered some new colours for my ECW project back in 2018, the old one is still running a bit low

Yet more lovely work Paul .
