Painted the base coats for the 30+ bases for the extra FK&P markers and units and printed off all the labels I will need for them once the figures are ready.

Adding labels to conform to hexagonal bases means a lot of careful trimming!

Armour and helmets painted and dry brushed on the Cuirassiers and Harquebusiers

[pierre the shy]

threw the existing printed labels in the bin as they were too small a font (7?) to read easily and made the required number in much bigger 9 font that I can actual read with new glasses

Printed them out after I had to go and get a new ink cartridge from Warehouse Stationery. Inkjet is an old Epson and it goes through ink faster than a vintage car burns oil.

Also printed off labels for Ballenvega scenario which we will be palying in the next couple of weeks.

I had to go and get another set of 4 storage drawers for the extra stuff today, with the extra markers, units and sceneary bits and bobs I need them. Going to have to do some rearranging to fit them in my room.

Mrs Shy reckoned if I've run out of room then I can't start any more projects, but she didn't say anything about the ones that I have started but am yet to complete

Not really getting into a flow with these figures for some reason

Hopefully the pace will pick up

[paulr]

Well, the pace didn't pick up for a while

But I have got back to them and finished base coating and dry brushing boots and hats

You have entered the Sargasso Sea of painting. Best deploy the small boats, attach a tow line, and row like blazes. Giving myself a pep talk as well!
