About Me

My photo
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).

WIP: 30YW Blue Reiters #1; WIP: 30YW Red Dragoons #1

Crikey! 3 posts in a day!

Just a quick WIP post to show what these units have had done so far.

Both units:
Horse basecoats
Manes, tails, cannons, muzzles shaded black for bay horses
Wash shading of horse flesh

Dragoons:
Horse markings (socks, blazes)
Saddle cloths
Horse tack
Faces and bare hands
Black undercoat and Oily Steel dry-brush for gun barrels
Yellow Ochre basecoat for flag and sashes

I'm going to leave it there for tonight. Given that it's only 6 foot and 4 riders, I should be able to finish these at least to the point where they are based and gunked tomorrow.

    Blimey your getting through the painting at a rate-of-knots! I haven't picked up a brush in weeks (work, holiday, work, lethargy, work, dozing off in front of the TV like an old fart, work, etc) so I'm a tad envious of your discipline!

    @ Fran - I hope you aren't meaning that in a "7 of 9" way ;)

    @ Ray - no way are you sending me your stuff to paint. I've got more than enough in my leadpile as it is, and definitely more on the way!

    @ Ian - only the horse basecoats and washes as it makes sense to do those in larger batches. Now they're done, I'm only working on the dragoons; the reiters will be done afterwards.

    @ Lee - well, you do actually have a life, unlike me! ;)

    @ Rodger - see my reply to Lee!

    Oh - cheers all!
