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).

Challenge Day 57 - A Sunday Update

You're right. I was a bit quiet last week. That's mostly because after Tuesday, every evening saw me getting home from work cold and tired. So, I didn't really get anything done apart from finishing touches on the spaceship.

J Peasmold Waste Reprocessing Ship

I've finished this today and sent the pics to Curt. This should nudge me over Ian's 1066 point target which I think means I win the race.

You should see the pics later today or tomorrow.


Entry Fee & Favourite Character Figure

The green stuff additions have hardened and the bits you saw lying at it's feet added. He is no longer headless! I've also glued him to a base and added some texture. This morning, I brushed off loose bits of ballast and rubble, then primed the figure and texture black.

Blue Moon Pirates

Last night I spent a couple of hours painting the trousers/shorts on all of them. Today I've been second colours - mostly shirts and coats, but some headscarves. These are painting up quite quickly in comparison to the Rebel Minis pirates, so I have high hopes of finishing them by mid-week.







Tomorrow night I've got my second game in the club's 30 Years War FoG:R tourney, this time against Andy's 1632 Swedes. I think lots of artillery is the order of the day, to try to chew up his foot before they get to charge.

    Not much progress, but a desk full of pirates and a score over a 1000 points, stop being so hard on yourself! Great stuff Tamsin.
