Painting bases while waiting for it to warm up enough to undercoat in the garage

[paulr]

Nearly got warm enough to undercoat this afternoon, then it rained

Painted some more bases and flocked the first of the skirmishing sabots
In V&B infantry (3"x1.5" bases) can break down into detachments (1.5"x1.5" bases) to occupy villages or to deploy into skirmish order (placed on 3"x1.5" sabot skirmish bases)

I also collected my printed flags and labels from Pierre the Shy
The flags look even more impression first hand  

The labels look good glued to the bases
I've gone with a slight variation to the light stony grey suggested by MMCV

It is similar in tone to the bases but is a distinct colour differentiating the two sides nicely

Painted some more bases and flocked some more skirmishing sabots

Had to buy a new large test pot of the paint I'm using for the bases and basing
First money I've had to spend on this project except with Pendraken

Based the first two battalions
Very pleased with the overall look, even if I say so myself    

Will touch up flock and add flags tomorrow

Not quite warm enough for undercoating but it should get warmer later in the afternoon

Once the basing mixture is dry tomorrow I have a couple of Colours to add and possibly some flock to touch up

I may get a chance to take pics tomorrow afternoon

These won't be getting varnished until the weather is much warmer
