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).

Mongols Almost Finished

I forgot to mention in my last post that I was taking Friday off work. Mind you, it only gave me a touch more time for painting than I'd normally have as I needed to do some shopping in the morning and then head down to my dad's mid-afternoon. It was his 80th birthday you see...

Anyway, I managed to finish painting the Mongols, give them a coat of Klear/ink, pop them off the painting sticks, sort them into groups for basing, glue them onto their bases and add the basing texture - medium grey ballast sprinkled onto a thick layer of liquid superglue.




Today I'll be knocking off the bits of ballast overhanging the edges of the bases, sealing the ballast with thin PVA and once that has dried painting the bases. Unless the PVA takes an age to dry, in which case I'll be doing the painting and flocking tomorrow. And then giving them a spray with matt varnish. I'll take some nice pics of them once that's all done.

While various stages are drying, I'll be priming the Korean crossbowmen, which will be my next painting job.

  3. Lovely Mongols, Tamsin! Certain to break many hearts and armies. You must have a warehouse to store all of your minis. Your brush never rests!
