I take the photos inside but next to a large glass sliding door so plenty of natural light. I also use the large white styrene sheet I cut the bases from as a reflector.

It works really well to knock out shadows, Paul.
The sun never seems to be strong enough in the Land of Rain, for that to work for me

looking fab....
can I ask a stupid question...
what do the coloured squares mean, I thought maybe sub units ... but now I am not sure

I suspect the close up might be confusing you as I tend to grab one base from each company 

First square is the Brigade, second the Battalion and third the company. So for example 1^st/1^st Herefordshire is the fourth battalion of the 158^th Brigade so the Battalion HQ has a Blue Green (Sand) label and the companies are Blue Green Red, Blue Green Yellow, Blue Green Blue, Blue Green Green.

The Blue for 158^th Brigade is an arbitrary choice (2^nd Light Horse will be red and NZMR are yellow).

I was sort of right 
Thanks for clearing it up

It's either that or he's having a quiet game of 'Mastermind'!

Had to look that game up. An interesting game that I don't remember playing as a kid or with my kids

Used to play it a lot in the 80s - great fun.

Still very slow progress, only first of five dry brush colours done so far

Lack of enthusiasm from work seems to be spilling over onto my painting 

No more progress on this project 

The weather has been too hot and I have been distracted by the celebration of my daughter's 21^st Birthday 

I have managed to post a report on our first Middle East ITLSU game here http://www.pendrakenforum.co.uk/index.php/topic,11289.0.html 

Just come across this thread and read through it.  BRILLIANT.

My only problem is the damn weather report -  envious doesn't come into it.   

Seriously though some really great painting.

Looks like we will be doing a Gallipoi game around the anzacs
later on 25 April 1915 once they got inland a bit.

Quite a lot going on around the 100th anniversary of the Gallipoi landing here in NZ.

They'll be remembered

No progress the last few days 

Dry brushing in over 30 degrees Celsius is out of the question  

Oh....Go away, Paul.....I hate you !! 
Seriously though, 30 degrees would be too hot, even for me !!.....And the green putty would be almost unworkable at that sort of temperature.
Mind you, ProCreate would probably be my putty of choice in those conditions.
Hope you get a chance to do some more soon.....Looking forward to seeing the next 'batch'.
Cheers - Phil

ProCreate?    Hot summer nights, eh Phil?
