Today I have:
dry-brushed the gunk on the rank 4 bases
sprayed ranks 3 and 4 with matt varnish
tufted, gravelled and flocked the rank 3 and 4 bases
taken a lot of photos of the whole bleedin' lot; resized them (and cropped a couple) then selected a number of them to send to Curt
written a blurb to accompany the pics
sent the selected pics and the blurb to Curt
When I decided to start these 3 weeks ago I thought I'd be pushing things to get them finished before the end of the Challenge. Well here I am having finished them and I still have 4 days left to get something else painted and sent off to Curt. The problem is that all I've got that's ready to paint are some more bloody Swiss! Can I face doing some more of them?
About Me
- TamsinP
- 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).
very well done pushing through with these I just hope I can do the same with the last few SYW French bits
ReplyDeletePeace James
One last push!
ReplyDeleteI must say that I am amazed at the number of figures you have produced in such a short time
Come on you know you can do it!
ReplyDeleteAmazing output it has to be said
Ian
Of course you can, work women work!!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat output. Very impressed - it's taken me 3 years to get something on my bog.
ReplyDeleteOne question though what's your gunk?
@ JamesB - thankjs! Fingers crossed that you get your 7YW stuff done in time :)
ReplyDelete@ David - I'll definitely give it one last go. Whether I'll finish them in time is another question
@ Ian - we'll see, we'll see
@ Ray - 4 days, 48 figures to paint? I suppose it's do-able
@ Dannoc - thanks! The gunk I use is a mix of acrylic modeling past (3 parts), acrylic coarse texture gel (1 part) and brown ink added until I get the colour I'm after. The ratio of paste and texture gel varies a bit between armies depending on the look I'm after.
