Yeah I have a spray bottle filled with water and PVA but I think the mix is a little off, takes forever to dry each time. Might up the PVA in the mix next time.

Thanks!

Got some samples for Warring States Chinese. I wish I'd had these before I'd done my last Chinese project as they were more what I was wanting before I ended up going late Warring States/Early Imperial. Not sure if I'll use these as a basis to a brand new project or expand my existing one... One for the future anyway.

Eastern Chinese


Western Chinese


Cavalry





Also got a nice package from Pendraken and have two more units of Sengoku Japan with sashimono affixed, primed and on the painting sticks. Hopefully get to those soon.

Much easier to add images with the new forum, particularly from the phone!

Liking the infantry - where are they from?

Yes, adding photos is much easier, though the boxes in the pop up dialog are strangely small (at least on iOS)

They're from Fogg of War. They've not got their website up yet but got their email off someone a little while back and when I contacted them they sent me some samples. They're hoping to launch their new site early next year. Seem to cover a few nice gaps in the scale.

Those are very nice and good to see a gap in the market being filled.

Finished up a few more units.

First up two more generic Sengoku Jidai clans:





And as a little change of pace, painted up these ancients that had been taking up space on my painting sticks for a while.

Roman auxiliaries


And some Cretan archers


Though when I went to pack these away I realised I must have got my magnetic and ferrous sheets mixed up at some point as they wouldn't stick. I suspect I've put a magnetic sheet down on my Japanese box and as a result used the ferrous paper on all those bases. So going to have to replace the magnetic paper on these ancients and be careful in the future to tell them apart. Think I'll just keep the Japanese as they are, can't be bothered with redoing it all at this point. I should maybe try and source them in different colours on future as they're near impossible to tell apart without finding something metal and seeing if it sticks or not. And even then you're not sure had it just been slightly magnetised by your experimenting...  X_X

Now what to do next. More Japanese or a change of direction...
