Hundred Years War - DBA

[paulr]

Based last batch of the Scots

[Lord Kermit of Birkenhead]

Undercoated the first batch of figures of the Free Company

Flocked one of my temperate hills, this will hopefully reduce figures slipping.

Will see how it turns out once dry

What do people use to seal flock on hills :-

Spray varnish is the expensive way, or hairspray - cheap and un-perfumed

[fsn]

A dilution of PVA through a spray bottle.

[paulr]

Touched up the flock on the last batch of the Scots

Flock looks pretty good on the first of my temperate hills
Touched up the flock

Thanks, interesting videos

Need to find a spray bottle and water down some PVA, need the hills done for a game this weekend

[paulr]

Flocked second hill

Base coated horses of first batch of Free Company

[paulr]

Touched up:

• flock on second hill
• base coat on horses of first batch of Free Company
• base edges on the last batch of Scots

[paulr]

Flocked last 2 small hills

Dry brushed horses of first batch of Free Company

[paulr]

Touched up flock on the 2 small hills

Base coated and dry brushed the mail of the first batch of the Free Company

Pierre the Shy kindly dropped off the banners for my Scots

Banners added to the Scots
Banner edges and varnishing to do once dry

[paulr]

Banner edges done on the Scots

Varnishing tomorrow if the day warms up enough before the wind picks up

[paulr]

Another bit of flock touch up was needed on one of the small hills
Will hopefully get them sealed this afternoon if the weather allows

Base coated and dry brushed the helmets, metal weapons and armour of the first batch of the Free Company 

First half of the Scots varnished

[paulr]

The weather has turned to un-forecast misty drizzle  ~X(

Hopefully I manged to shelter the figures from the drizzle quickly enough and the varnish had dried enough that no harm was done

Unless it improves there won't be any more varnishing or sealing today

[paulr]

Weather improved slightly so got the hills are sealed
That should give them plenty of time to dry for Saturday

It looks as though the rest of the Scots will have to wait until Saturday or even Sunday for their varnish

First heraldry colour, Or, done on the Free Company

[toxicpixie]

Terrifying when the weather changes just as you finish spraying - severe argh moment!

[Ithoriel]

Was gloss varnishing the underside of the spaceship this afternoon had only just finished when it started to spit with rain. Quick hustle to get the thing inside and all the top lights open to ventilate the place and disperse the fumes.

Good luck with varnishing over the week-end Paul

[paulr]

Varnishing survived the misty drizzle
As usual had to brush varnish the labels and banners, done

Cloudy with a bit of wind today with sunny breaks so grabbed the opportunity to spray varnish the remaining Scots
Brush varnished the labels later in the day

Hills have dried up really well
Thanks Nobby for the video, the key bit of advice was a drop of fairy liquid (washing up liquid) as a flow aid, work much better than my last attempt a number of years ago

Finished the heraldry for the Free Company

Started the main clothes colours for the other men-at-arms
