These cavalry have taken a bit longer to finish than I thought they would, mainly from my stupid sequencing of steps which meant I had to go back over things and touch them up. I've learnt my lessons for the next batch.
I've still got to give them their Klear/ink coat (I'll use a thinner mix than normal, about half strength) and base them up, but here are some pics before I do that:
I also had another package delivered this morning. Not more piratical plunder though. This was a set of resin buildings from Kerr & King - an Oriental gatehouse and an Oriental "city" set (5 buildings does not a city make!). The buildings look great with removable roofs and interior detailing.
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).
There' s always a missing step in a stupid sequencing of steps...ALWAYS...believe me... ;-)

Looking good so far! Yeah, I hate when I realized I missed something and have to go back to fix it. Especially awful mold lines.
ReplyDeleteThey look cracking to me Tamisin. Ooooh those buildings, I like, I like. You're having a great week with the postman it seems :)
ReplyDeleteCavalry is looking great! The buildings look good - sure they will be as K & K stuff is the dogs ...
ReplyDeleteCheers,
Ross
The Koreans are looking good.
ReplyDeleteNice work Tamsin!
ReplyDeleteGood stuff.
ReplyDeleteDamn nice and more goodies!
ReplyDeleteLooking very smart indeed. The Oriental buildings will looks perfect with these chaps!
ReplyDeleteVery impressed with the Koreans Tamsin. Those building look cool too!
ReplyDeletethanks guys! :)
ReplyDelete@ Marzio and DFlynSqrl - not so much a missed step as a step done later than it should have been done (dry-brushing the gold studs on the armour coat - I did that after painting other details and of course the gold went onto them)
@ Anne - yep, lots of goodies coming in at the moment :)
@ Ross - the K&K buildings are definitely the dogs :)
@ Clint, Ray, lee and Fran - cheers, glad you like them! :)
@ Sidney - they do look nice, but the details have slowed me down a lot. As for the buildings, well that's what I got them for! I might have to order some of the other fortifications bits from K&K now.
@ Rodger - curse you, sneaking a comment in as I was typing and posting my reply! cheers! :)
ReplyDeleteThe Koreans look very colourful can't wait to them finished and based. Those buildings look rather nice as well. Are you going to do the interiors?
ReplyDeleteVery lovely Tamsin and I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one receiving goodies from the postman even though Salute was only a matter of weeks ago!
ReplyDeleteGood looking bunch, Tamsin, and it looks like you have the stuff to make a great camp or village even!
ReplyDeleteNice models, looks like an aweful lot of work....
ReplyDeleteI always find it very tiring painting rows upon rows of the same models..
The cavalry look good and I'm sure they'll make an impressive site based up. The buildings are intriguing.
ReplyDeleteVery good looking cavalry. How many will be in the completed army?
ReplyDeleteWell painted figures deserve good looking terrain
@ SimonQ - the Korean cavalry of the period was very colourful, so I've achieved the aim I was looking for with these. the guard cavalry will be even more colourful!
ReplyDeleteI probably will do the interiors and leave the roofs as separate pieces, just in case I get into Oriental skirmish gaming.
@ Michael - thanks! Well, we've got to keep our posties in work haven't we? ;)
@ Monty - The buildings will be used for terrain rather than as a camp. Well, maybe the gatehouse could be used for a camp.
@ Markus - it is a lot of fiddly detail, but at least this first batch has taught me what I need to do for the next batch (already started).
@ Sean - they are based now, just a couple more steps to do this evening - expect pics later today!
@ Mike - cheers! There will be 72 cavalry (24 bases) in the completed army. i think the lists allow me to take a bit more, but that would be at the expense of other troops.
Like them!! looking forward to seeing the final result!!
ReplyDeleteCool cavalry, very colourful.
ReplyDelete@ Einar - you won't have long to wait to see them - I should finish them tonight.
ReplyDelete@ Dan - they certainly are a colourful cavalry cavalcade! :)
