Productive morning of dry brushing infantry bases and basing up some artillery, oxen and the odd figure or two for table decoration :) .

Lots of terrain up to flocking stage. Lots equates to four double sided spreads of the Daily Mail that my in-laws left here.
It has one redeeming feature, absorbance

Grit applied to bases this evening. You do notice how much quicker many stages are in the warmer and drier weather of Summer compared to Winter, so thing moving along at a fair old lick :) .

I use it to line the chickens litter trays, as my outlaws also read the rag.

More base painting and priming this morning, as both SWMBO and I woke up with a bit of a cold, so head not in the right base for gluing figures to bases etc.

Duke Speedy of Leighton

Much terrain finished, last 5 28mm FPW built, three and a half 10mm FPW units built, then I ran out of glue.
Milliputt added to two 28mm character bases. 28mm Orc chieftain built.

Odds'n'sods basing of figures and base coat painting, given the simply dreadful weather means I don't want to risk the final coat of lacquer on my paddy fields :( .

Given the very wet day we've had, at least I managed to base 8 units of infantry and add grit to their bases too. So not a complete wash out :) .

First unit for my 18thC India project has had base colours and a devlin mud wash applied. Highlights and lacquer tonight.

Tidied the wargames shed, part tidied the conservatory as the amazing Mrs Denham will need to use it for a while as her new job involves video calls while working from home and she needs a child free space during the holidays.

Base coated an 1870 French division in 10mm, plus some 28mm 1870 French, and WW2 Soviets and some vampire types.

Then found another whole division of French for 1870! Wooohooo!

Another light infantry unit has had base colours and wash applied. Highlights and lacquer tonight if I'm lucky...

One infantry unit completed and another started. One bonus of the wet and cool weather we are having, is that I get to spend more time painting!

Steve J

Another unit completed with another just requiring highlights and lacquer. Then a bit of flocking I think...

Duke Speedy of Leighton

Flesh base and inks on, eppilettes on Chasseurs à peid in two scales started, WW2 Soviets uniforms highlighted.
