Fred's 2013 Painting Diary

[fred.]

The 2nd regiment of WWI French are now pretty much done



But didn't get Santa finished off - maybe tonight

[fred.]

Also started to spray the centaurs - I lined up the Centaurs and gnomes, and started spraying black, got all of one side done, swapped them round, but couldn't coax anymore black out of the can.

Went to get a spare can (and the dark brown) but this was thwarted by not being able to get to the extra spray cans under the stairs due to Christmas stuff.

Managed to spray a few white, and some middle brown, so can start on those at some point


Also de-based some Pendraken British WWI infantry, and start to paint them. The British are so much easier than the French - a quick heavy dry brush of brown all over the figure, and they are 80% done. The French have so many different colours in their uniforms, and such complex kit they really take some time to paint.



These guys should make a couple of battalions for GWSH
I even painted the 18 pdrs for good measure.

Looking forward to seeing some new armies hitting the painting diary soon then!

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

I'd say about £100 worth, by the looks of it!

[fred.]

Yeah!!

But how long will it take them to get painted :-(

My big orders often linger a bit in the lead mountain.

It's like wine, you buy it, and then you let it age gently

Looking good again Fred !!

Santa's Skirmishers

Added a couple of bits to Santa to make him more Santa like - and added some sand to the bases



Watch out for this lot coming down your chimney and stealing your pressies!!!

It's like wine, you buy it, and then you let it age gently 

Do I need to get a cellar then? 

[petercooman]

Yes you do, with a big gaming table, couch and fridge!

Loving santa btw!!

 ....Very festive Fred.
Cheers - Phil.

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

That looks great!
Wondered what he did with the other 11 months of the year, leadinga warband sounds fun.

Now he needs a patch of snow.

[fred.]

Now there's an idea, I think I have some snow 'flock' somewhere around

Santa looks great.
