About Me

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: Wagons, Gabions, Hay Ricks and Corn Stooks #2

I carried on with these today and got all the way to matt varnishing the gabions, hay ricks and corn stooks. For the gabions I could have skipped doing a spray basecoat as I ended up painting all the parts in different colours anyway. I think I should probably have skipped the first dry-brush step on the gabions themselves as it seems to have merged the colours a bit too much and you can't really tell the difference between the earth and the wickerwork. Oh well, too late now.

I have given the wagons a Klear/ink coat but I'm holding off on the matt spray varnish until I've done the basing.









And here's a pic of the danish artillery, supported by the Green-Blue and Green-Red regiments of foot occupying a redoubt in front of the hay rocks and corn stooks:

  6. Nice work. Like the wagons. Gaming needs more scenarios with wagons.

  8. Cheers folks. I'm quite pleased with how they've turned out and definitely tempted to order more bits from Timecast.

    @ MP and Ray - I couldn't resist doing an "in use" photo. Glad you liked it :)

  9. Very nice. Too few gamers devote the proper time to terrain, and it makes such a difference.
