Light Horse have been packed away along with the rest of my painting stuff in preparation for a BBQ we are hosting tomorrow

Lots of kids so temptations need to be out of site

A BBQ ?

You really, really know how to rub it in, don't you, Paul ? 

Cheers - Phil (Did actually see the sun over the past couple of days... ..It didn't hang around for long though  )

We've had rain and damaging gales today 

But the forecast is better for tomorrow

Light Horse have now been brought back out after a very successful BBQ, weather cooperated very well on the day, then turned to crap again and of course delays due to trenching

Horses have now been dry-brushed

Uniforms next...

Painted shirts on some of the Light Horse, a few BEA4 East/South African mounted rifles figures there for variety, and did a 'paint conversion' of the jackets to shirts on some of the ME5 Australian cavalry

All uniforms base coated, one third dry brushed
ShIrts dry brushed

Another successful day at ValleyCon

The sheik Sa'ad scenario worked well and nicely filled the full day

Pictures and an AAR to follow when I have recovered from two days fairly solid gaming

 

Looking forward to that, Paul. 
Cheers - Phil

Sounds great

Goblins being prepped for basing in advance of the Painting Comp.

Almost 3 weeks and no progress on the Light Horse Brigade

I suspect I'm not going to get a lot of sympathy but the weather has been too hot for painting, certainly for dry brushing. High 20s or low 30s

I have been busy doing the AARs for Cowpens and Sheik Sa'ad and more recently sorting out some WWII 6mm a friend wants to sell

Last night I realised how close we are to 15 March so the focus will now shift to preparations for Guilford Courthouse

Still too bloody hot for dry brushing 28 degrees

But good progress on preparing for Guilford Courthouse

Rain forecast for tomorrow night and Thursday, first significant rain in a month, still going to be in the low 20s

The weather cooled a little today and was in the low 20s long enough for me to finish dry brushing the uniforms of the Light Horse Brigade

Manes, tails & hooves next
