I think our Viet Nam little project is almost complete, the pack of mules is an add on that pops me reading the cold war commander list.

You could see our figures VN figures finished and based here http://www.pendrakenforum.co.uk/index.php/topic,10601.0.html

At this time I would like to explore Cross fire but in the future I would like to play the period with CWC, then maybe I will make an expansion of VN armies.

I also painted a huey (not a very good painting), but I did not take a picture and now I did not have it with me. Maybe Ed (if he read this lines) could upload a picture.

I would like to move to a new project in the next months: Ottoman Turks, army of the half moon. But you know the wargaming intention is like surfing a wave...

Currently I am basing and finishing an old project, Poseidon and his fishmen critters army. It is only left to paint a unit of mairmaids, have the idea but now I need to make it real.

I read a book last year from an FAO who flew in Vietnam, and he describes how he and a colleague spotted an elephant convoy crossing a river on one flight. The action against it is possibly one of the saddest things I've ever read

Project: Las Navas de Tolosa 1212 Battle

I ended this proyect, but I was using two xbowmen horsemen in the christian king list, so I as not very satisfied because xbow is not a weapon characteristic of the period. Now is time to fix it. So in some way, project complete

Thank you guys; about the muted palette recently I start to use a new method. It was a kind of accident. I start using as a physical palette the bottom of the top of my recently new dirty water bottle with no other intention than make some mix of color. The next day, when the bottle is screwed, I saw that the moisture inside the bottle has keep the color fresh so I could still use the mixes made days ago. Then I though thas is a kind of water palette but cheaper and easy to make.

Also some moister condensate, so colors blends each other resulting in interesting degrees of colors. Sometimes you do not want that, but other times pops up interesting tonalities that you are not searching, so serendipity happens.





It is easy, it is simple, it is fast, no cost money, nor effort of building and keep your colour mixes per days, and it is possible to blend itself the colors! (beware do not shake after or before the bottle is closed)

Use it and if you are satisfied send me 5 pound to help me investing in Pendraken figures
