Aren't all their clothes small?

 

Cartridge boxes and hats highlighted

Backpacks base coated and highlighted

Facings and turnbacks started, too hot to paint 26 degrees C (79F)

Worked on a scenario for Jericho in February 1918 instead
I've started making more wadi

Already mid 20s C so time to stop painting and do some other things

Facings and turnbacks finished
Musket stocks done 

Prepared bases for next couple of lots of troops and started painting them, both sides done & one coat of the edges on half of them

Scenario for Jericho in February 1918 nearly finished 
Reasonable progress on the wadis, need cooler temperatures while adding the caulking compound

Know the problem. We're having a heat wave here, too. Currently around 3 degrees here in rainy Scotland.

A bit cooler at work as aircon works well here.

Hope those Mk IVs turn up if we're assaulting  trenches ☺

Some heavy showers cooled things down enough for me to do the musket barrels
But heating up again
Finished painting first half of the bases for next couple of lots of troops & first coat of the edges on second half done

The Mk IVs (8 Mk Is with 3 Mk IV replacements, I believe) have been left far behind
I really should put a Second Gazza scenario together so the tanks get a run, probably near "Jack & Jill", perhaps at Easter

Don't worry the Turks probably haven't had time to wire their position, assuming you get to be British

Heavy showers are all we seem to be getting over here, at the mo'.
That, and the storm force winds !! SHEESH !

Cheers - Phil

Hmmm, last night was a tad windy and wet, with the river Avon bursting it's banks in a few places. At least I'll have a tail wind home tonight

Musket barrels, locks, straps and bayonets done
Most of the bags done

Last of bags then musket brass to do, then skin and hair

jock straps! Oh—wait! sorry, never mind!

 

Finished painting current batch
Touch ups next

Finished painting the bases for next couple of lots of troops

Touch ups done
They'll get their wash this evening

Finished making the extra wadis, once the chalking compound is dry they need a little paint then a wash

Current batch washed
Noticed I had missed one of the officers scabbards will be done tomorrow morning once the wash is dry
Final dry brush and figure bases then ready to base

Next batch prepared, the first of the 'British', the British, German and Loyalist mounted officers and the Queen's Rangers Dragoons
I'll do all the horses in one go

Missed officer's scabbard done
Labeled bases for this batch
Final dry brush and figure bases done

Magnetic vinyl for the next couple of lots of troops while those dry

Chalking compound still drying on the extra wadis, they need a little paint then a wash
