Challenge Day 62 - St Valentine's Day Moussaka

Well, that would have been my dinner if I'd been stupid enough to venture out to the shops for the ingredients.



WIP Lady Christina Recovery & Repair Ship

While the yellow ochre base coat on bases has been drying, I've been working on this ship. It's almost done now - just a little bit of tidying up, some ID markings and possibly a wash over the yellow to provide some depth. UK followers may have twigged what has inspired my colour scheme. I'm tempted to get a second and paint it in the colours of their main rival.




WIP Pirates!

Aaarrrrr! I've spent a couple of hours this evening sorting and sticking figures onto their bases. They've come out as 44 bases of "other buccaneers" (Warriors, Average, Unarmoured, Musket*/Impact Foot/Sword) and 36 bases of "disciplined buccaneers" (Medium Foot, Average, Unarmoured, Musket/-/Sword). I've also done 2 unit command bases with 4 figures to combine with 10 of the "disciplined buccaneer" bases to upgrade them to "veteran buccaneers" (Medium Foot, Superior, Unarmoured, Musket/-/Sword).

Disciplined & Veteran Buccaneers





Tomorrow I'll be adding sand/gravel to the bases, then on Sunday I'll do the drybrushing, matt varnish and flocking.

Once they're submitted, I guess it is time to start working on the command stands and artillery, although I might take a short break to finish painting my entry fee figure.

    The ship looks cool.
    The Pirates look colourful and it is great to see they are nearly done. They will be quite a sight when they hit the table. Good going.

    @ Gary - scratch it! Scratch it! :)

    @ Clint - cheers! I'm not sure whether to submit them as a single entry or split them over two entries. I think I'll go with the single as that will let me show them all together.

    @ Loki - resistance is futile!

    @ Nathan - thanks!

    @ Ian - cheers! And you're not calling me a machine today! Whoopee! :)

    @ Dan - thanks!
