Hundred Years War - DBA

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Photos? Plllllllllllllleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaassssssssseeeeeeeeeeeeeěeeeeeee.... 

[Lord Kermit of Birkenhead]

Do I get the impression Will wants some photos ?

[paulr]

Patience Will
I need to base them, hopefully today, then touch up the flock and add banners
They should be done next year

French sorted ready for basing

All of the Low Countries army fits on my painting rods as one batch

They should make a nice change from the French, no horses and one batch instead of three

[paulr]

Low Countries undercoated

I bought some paint on matt varnish and applied it to the three labels that had fogged



It appears to have fixed the fogging, will check again when it is fully dry

I could be doing quite a bit of varnishing today

I also realised that I will have enough French elements to field four French armies (IV/64c), two based on mounted and two on dismounted men-at-arms
I'll also need to select other options appropriately

[paulr]

The paint on varnish fixed the fogging when fully dry

I made the most of the good weather and spent the day doing multiple batches of varnishing

All the painted and based HYW figures are now varnished

I needed to paint varnish all the labels, some needed it more than others

I also needed to paint varnish some but not all the banners

I'll hopefully get the last batch of French based this morning

[paulr]

Blimey you're racing through this lot, be interesting to see the 6/8 complete armies in action sometime later in the year....

Glad the brush on varnish sorted your clouding issue.....overall the Valjello matt spray varnish is OK?

[FierceKitty]

Low Countries undercoated

You must have needed quite a large brush!

[paulr]

The few hats done on the Low Countries

French are now ready for varnishing the weather doesn't like like it will cooperate tomorrow

All foot makes it a pretty quick army to paint

The Valjello matt spray varnish is good on the figures and the brush on sorts the labels and any flags that fog

I spray undercoat, no brush required

[paulr]

The weather has been more cooperative than expected, the French are now varnished

I had to touch up one of the labels and interestingly the spray varnish did not fog on the painted area of the label but did on the printed part

Good progress on the Low Countries army:

• remaining hoods done
• wood done
• Shoes/boots done
• half the belts and scabbards done

[paulr]

Other half of the belts and scabbards done
Brass done
Skin base coated
Hair done
Labels prepared

[paulr]

Skin highlighted, the Low Countries army is now painted

I'll check for touch ups later today and wash, final highlight & paint the figure bases over the next couple of days

I've got out the first batch of the second French army ready to prepare
