I've managed to finish painting the second batch of pirates today. In a little while I'll be giving them a coat of Klear/ink. Once that has cured, I'll be popping them off the sticks and sorting them by armament ready for mixing up for basing tomorrow. I might just be able to get them based up for a huge entry this weekend, which might see me jump back ahead of Dave and a few others.
In the foreground you can see a bunch of bases which I've given a coat of yellow ochre. I'll have to spend a bit of time tonight and tomorrow doing more batches so that I have enough ready for basing the pirates.
In the background is the ship I started yesterday. It is a "Lady Christina" recovery and repair ship. I did a little bit of work on it last night, painting the parts which won't be yellow.
Some pics of the finished pirates, before they get all glossy from the Klear/ink mix.
You are a one lady production line, Just don't get burn out!
ReplyDeleteNice progress - hope you can get them submitted in time.

ReplyDeleteAwesome production rate Tamsin! They are looking very very nice too!
ReplyDeleteYour focus is most impressive!
ReplyDeleteThanks guys!
ReplyDelete@ Clint - doing my best to avoid that happening!
@ Dean - there's no real deadline for the pirates at this point, but I would like to get them submitted this weekend if possible.
@ Millsy - these have actually taken me a lot longer than I'd have liked, but I think that is down to how I've painted them to mix up the colours.
@ Rodger - cheers!
@ Legatus - focus? Oooh, look - squirrel! ;)
