About Me

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).

Challenge Day 78 - Ready For Tomorrow

As I have noted, tomorrow is going to be a busy day and the start of a busy week. This evening has also been a bit busy, getting ready for tomorrow's busyness.

The 6mm ACW figures have had basing texture added. Tomorrow, the bases will get drybrushed and flocked, the infantry will have flags added and the artillery will have their guns glued into place. And take photos of them of course; write the blog post and wait for Curt to post it with the points.



I've also assembled the NSL bits - MAWPs, power armour and some hover drones:


The hover drones are stuck onto lengths of brass rod for painting - once done, they'll get stuck onto the clear rods that I've stuck into hex bases.

A couple of evenings ago, I glued the hover vehicles onto MDF bases. This is to make it easier to hold them for painting and also so that I can add magnetic sheet later to hold them securely for transport.



I've got a couple of little jobs left to do tonight - cleaning my brushes and setting the spray booth up ready to go in the morning.

    @ Whisk - I'm much better thanks :)

    @ Ian - nice, yes; organised, maybe (but these things are relative). I may be busy, but I'm also keeping an eye to make sure I don't trigger anything nasty :)

    @ Robert - most of the NSL is painted, these are just the reinforcements. I am actually getting a decent amount of sleep at the moment thanks :)

    @ Dave - cheers! :)

    @ Simon - thanks; will do! :)

    @ Michael A - you'd think so, wouldn't you? But mischief can easily be created during my painting breaks :)

    @ Ray - I may need to do a bit more than plodding ;)
