Yesterday I was feeling a bit more human, mainly because my nose was no longer gushing. I was stilling aching and whacked out though and partook of several naps. In between all those, I did get a fair bit done.
First off I decided to prep some of the new shinies from GZG, then put the bits to soak in soapy water for a few hours before drying them off. In the evening I assembled them:
While they were washing and drying (and after a couple of naps) I carried on with the 6mm ACW. I took these pics last night, but did a few more steps afterwards:
All that's left before basing are the gold bits and varnishing. Woohoo! I will get them done in time for Saturday's posting slot.
Looking good and glad your feeling a bit better

Your energy for painting, despite your recent set-back is amazing.
ReplyDeleteThe GZG stuff (hover tanks ?) look very criso and should be a delight to paint and the ACW figures are coming along at quite a lick - 2500 points - pah ! At your output rate are you sure it's enough ?
Looking good on the ACW front. Those tanks are awesome!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing what you do with the GZG hovers. I love mine and really enjoyed working on them. They have a good solid weight to them too!
ReplyDeleteYou can never have enough tanks - looking forward to the end results.
ReplyDeleteThat reminds me I still have the voucher from GZG - gotta use him soon.
@ Ian - thanks! It's good to be feeling better :)
ReplyDelete@ Zabadak - they took a bit of cleanup; I suspect the moulds are getting a bit old. I think 2500 points is about right, tough but achievable :)
@ Simon - the tanks are definitely awesome :)
@ Millsy - I do like the heft, but don't look forward to lugging them to games ;)
@ Dan - you certainly can't! Expect results next weekend :)
Glad you're feeling more human and have stopped gushing.
ReplyDeleteNo yellow piping on the cavalry uniforms? ;)
You want piping in 6mm? *zoiks!*
DeleteBesides, these are clearly late war and have abandoned the piping on their breeches ;)
