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 Two

I've had a fairly productive day off work. I started off by spray-priming the Koreans, with one interruption to clean the airbrush when the nozzle got blocked. After that I varnished the figure I submitted yesterday, which can be seen here - my first entry earning me a humungous 5 points!



After a light lunch, I then made a start on painting a bunch of civvies for Salutesville. I'd done the base, first highlight and wash on the flesh for all twelve when I realised that I was unlikely to get them all done in one session. So I decided to split them into two groups and worked on one set with the aim of getting them finished and submitted tonight. Here's a WIP shot:



I was successful and have just submitted the first group of six. That should earn me a handy 30 points.

I'm back at work the next two days, then on Thursday I'll be heading out of London. If I'm lucky, the second set will be finished before I leave.

    @ Brendon - I will be sneaking out for 4 days off for Christmas! :)

    @ Michael A - it was a case of "use it or lose it" so naturally I chose to use it! :)

    @ Ian - thanks! Not sure when the rest will get painted - I haven't picked up the brushes yet this evening :o

    @ Kris - cheers! You should have joined in - you don't need to set a high target which puts you under pressure. Some folks are only looking to paint 20 or so 28mm foot figures over 3 months :)

    @ Francis - thanks :)

    @ Dave D - well...it's a start at least :)
