Most facings & turnbacks done

Slow process with a mix of different facings & turnbacks even in the same companies

Four companies left to finish as it got too hot to paint
31 degrees C, 88 F, meant the paint was drying on the brush

Finished the facings and turnbacks

Started on the various bags

Hope the painting is going well.

Think l will nominate Paul for title of largest emoji user for 2017 on the forum, with an honorable mention for Techno as runner up....

Painting is progressing better now the weather isn't so hot

Bags finished

Hair done

Hats, Cartridge boxes, boots and scabbards base coated

Hats and Cartridge boxes to be dry brushed next

Then on to detailing

Emojis are a useful shorthand, even if they are so 2015

 

Hats, Cartridge boxes and Officers boots dry brushed

Tack on Officer's horses done

Keep it going!!

4 pages and no pics! Paul you are a tease!

Yeah we got to see pics

Take care

Andy

Just focused!

I know the time it takes to make pics, upload, post to various forums + facebook etc...

Sometimes it's just faster to crack on and show pics when it's. All over

As Peter says, I tend to focus on painting the figures and only post completed units

Detailing done

Touch ups done

Bases for this batch labelled

Flags to be printed today and figures washed tonight

They might get based on Saturday...

Squeaks of excitement.

Photo's soon then.....Just like Andy has hinted.

Cheers - Phil

Flags printed & figures washed 

Final dry brush done

Figure bases painted

Spotted that I'd missed one side of the hooves on one of the horses and the same for one figures shoes

Final, final touch ups done

Once they are dry they need to be sorted and then based

Figures sorted 



Figures based

I'll leave them to dry overnight then touch up flocking, add shrubbery, add the flag and touch up edges

Once dry, varnish then maybe pictures if it dries before the sun goes

In the mean time I'll start prep'ing the next batch

Painted and based
80 Foot
14 Mounted and Officers
  3 Guns
97 Total

Next batch prep'ed and undercoated
Another American Light infantry battalion

What I like about Paul's approach to a new project is the enthusiasm, and pace he puts in. Slow down man, you are putting the rest of us to shame, whats wrong with a good bit of procrastination, followed by some thinking time?

 

I had plenty of thinking time while I cast around for project ideas

Flock touched up & flag cut out
