A Song of Arthur and Merlin - project diary

[Corso]

I have been thinking about givingbit a go at some point but want to finish this set first

I have a habit of flitting from one project to another but made a deal with myself I'd stop this year

I have a habit of flitting from one project to another . . .

I don't think you're the only one with that tendency.

[Corso]

Nope, but it's the only resolution I still have from New Year

[Roy]

Excellent. And good luck with the resolution

If I do a 2024 resolution, I think it'll have to be to play a game (last one was in 2017, iirc)

I have a habit of flitting from one project to another but made a deal with myself I'd stop this year 

I seem to have developed a habit over the past few months of flitting from making no progress on one project to making no progress on another at frequent intervals.

Would focussing on making no progress on a single project be an improvement?

[paulr]

Corso,         good luck with the surviving resolution

Roy, just one, even a small one

Ithoriel, possibly but probably not

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Nice tower.
Flit like a butterfly

[Corso]

Still got plenty to keep this project on track with an order from Pendraken and some buildings from the baggage train on their way

This one's another from Leven, I modified the door to fit the scale of the figures better, needs a tidy up at some point but it'll fo for now

[Roy]

Ah, Leven Miniatures...? I did wonder where the buildings had come from (you've probably mentioned, elsewhere, on this thread - I'll have a look).

[Corso]

I don't think I did, I mentioned sn order with baggage train that I'm hoping to get started on next week

[Corso]

My Pendraken order arrived this morning so I spent the afternoon putting Arthur's companions together



Haven't used greenstuff for years but I'm enjoying this project, the Late Roman figures have a solid foundation to work with

The spears and shield are a nice touch on the building

Thanks, it was an attempt to make a 6mm large tower fit in 10mm scale. I think it helps do that

[Corso]

Here are the Companions finished

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Very cool. Lovely crisp shield patterns too. 

[paulr]

       

Seconded on the Lovely crisp shield patterns

You completed them pretty quickly as well

[Corso]

Thanks

Havn't go the hang of the Chi-Rho design so decided to keep it simple

[Roy]

  I'll, also, state that I like how you've based them too.

I've made a mess of my individually based 10mm miniatures in the past, putting too much on to the base and crowding out/hiding the figure with basing stuff meant for larger sized figures. I must remember to have a look at these photos when I come back to doing 10mm foot figures.

It's a pretty simple approach, I mount the figure with superglue, coat with pva and dip in a 80/20ish fine sand, ground green flock mix while the pva is still tacky I dip again is a tub with small stones. What stays gets pressed in. Finally I'll add a bit of green flock here and there if it's looking a bit bland

Leave it to dry and coat with watered down pva glue to seal them in

[Corso]

Arthur's Romano-British are done



Now need to look at some additional characters, finish the terrain and put together some questing monsters
