With the Challenge over, I decided to take a short break from painting and didn't pick up a brush on Wednesday, Thursday or Friday evening. Yesterday saw me return to painting. I think that 3 months of high output painting has taken it's toll - I'm finding ti hard work to keep at it and need to take more frequent breaks.
So, what's on my workbench?
Donogh's Prize Draw Figures
I actually made a start on one of the figures on Tuesday after submitting my final Challenge entry. I say made a start. Actually, it's pretty damned near finished!
Here's a pic of all 10 together:
Swiss Command Stands
My Swiss will be getting there first run out on Thursday against Seb's Free Companies. Well, some of them will - we're only going to be playing 650 points. I will take all of them with me though, so that I can get some pics of the completed army before Seb arrives.
So, I needed to get some command stands done. And decided to do all of them. I've got most of the painting done now, so they should be ready in time.

- 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).

I like those figures you're doing for the prize draw. And those Swiss look sweet.
ReplyDeleteI can imagine that you'd all need a bit of time away from the brushes after the Challenge.
Had I known you would have to paint more, I wouldn't have you so soon.

@ Anne - those Hasslefree figures are lovely sculpts. I'm looking forward to painting the rest up.
ReplyDeleteAs for needing time away from the brushes, *nudge-nudge, wink-wink, say no more - you're the only other person who knows what my secret projects are*
@ Seb - I was going to start painting again this weekend anayway. It's just that the Swiss commanders have jumped the queue ahead of Donogh's figures.
oh, ok then.
DeleteNow, I think I should go back to my brushes. One week without painting is not wargamey enough
;)
The Swiss Command figures look super. They'll grace any army. And nice to see a change in subject with the Hasslefree figures (which are terrific) - the young lass with the rabbit and the pistol is a very cool figure!
ReplyDeleteI do like the look of them!
ReplyDelete(But also looking forward to seeing the entire Swiss army together...)
Lots of Hasslefree loveliness there, which reminds me that I need to pick some of those up a Salute. I know exactly what you mean about not been able to get started again after the challenge although I did mange to order some new bases.
ReplyDeleteGood to hear girl, I'm really fecked off with painting in general at the moment.
ReplyDelete@ Andrew - after the high throughput pressure of the Challenge, easing off is a good thing
ReplyDelete@ Sidney - that young lass is an awesome figure. ps - it's a teddy, not a rabbit
@ Donogh - I'm looking forward to the massed Swiss appearing here :)
@ Michael - the Hasslefree figures are great. Lots of character to all the figures.
@ Fran - after all those 28mm Wild West boys and girls, I'm not surprised you're fecked off with painting
