I've reached the slow-point with this batch of figures - basing. At least I only have the drybrushing and static grass left to do, so they will be finished tomorrow.
You may be thinking "there aren't as many cavalry figures in that photo as you showed last week", and you'd be right. Given the time that basing was going to take (mostly due to slower drying at this time of year), I realised after finishing the Romans that I wouldn't be able to get the Gallic cavalry done in time. Their horses are finished, so it's just the riders that need painting, so they will be submitted next week.
I've also primed a few figures for the next studio visit, but I'm unlikely to get any of them painted in time to submit this week.
Go for them! Expect to see tehm soon in the Challenge's blog
ReplyDeleteAs it turns out, I didn't really have space to start those figures, so they'll have to wait until next week. :)
DeleteAh, the joy of Basing! - I always console myself that after it I can actually USE the figures! I think a good base makes even averagey painted figures look better!!! (That's me, not you, yours is much nicer!!!)
ReplyDeleteI like to make my basing look decent, but (opposite to you) I don't want it to detract from the painting! :)
DeleteI feel your pain on the basing, probably my least favourite bit of painting ! LOL
ReplyDeleteI enjoy the basing, but not the amount of time it takes in winter! :)
