About Me

My photo
London, United Kingdom, United Kingdom
A mythical beast - a female wargamer! I got back into wargaming in the summer of 2011 after a very, very long break and haven't looked back since. I must admit that I seem to be more of a painter/collector than a gamer, but do hope to correct that at some point in the near future. My gaming interests span the ages, from the "Biblical" era all the way through to the far future. I enjoy games of all sizes, from a handful of figures up to major battles (see my megalomaniacally sized Choson Korean and Russian Seven Years War armies).

WIP: Donnington 30YW Cuirassiers #5






They're very nearly done!

Done Today:

  • Horse markings - Ivory 918
  • Horse tack and sword belts - Saddle Brown 940
  • Holsters and scabbards - Leather Brown 871
  • Wood (pistols, flag staffs) - Mahogany Brown 846
  • Metal bits - Oily Steel 865, some Bronze 998
  • Armour touch-ups - mix of Oily Steel and black ink wash
  • Horse eyes


Still To Do:

  • Klear/ink coat
  • Glue to bases
  • Add basing gunk
  • Dry-brush basing gunk
  • Matt spray varnish
  • Flocking and tufting


I'll probably be able to do the first 2 of those steps tonight, and add the basing gunk tomorrow evening when I get back from Broadside. If I don't get back too late, I might even be able to get the dry-brushing done which would allow me to do the varnishing and flocking on Monday.

    @ Dux - you love the touches of blue? Not so much the touches of red and green? lol

    @ Geordie and Rodger - thanks, it is tough at times but I'm usually able to stick with it.

    @ Mecha Ace - it helps that I'm just going for a good 15mm tabletop standard, so no 3-shade painting to slow things down. of course, when I eventually do some 25/28mm....
