I've made good progress with the next batch of Aussies over the past couple of evenings and I'm close to finishing the painting - just the webbing, helmets, mortar and metal left to highlight; glaze on the flesh and strong tone wash over the rest. Then a quick Klear coat, and do the basing.
The Militia figures have been prepped and glued onto bases, ready for priming. There's another figure with them - it was meant to be part of the batch I'm working on right now, but when I started doing the flesh I found a big lump of flash that I'd missed, so I got rid of that then stripped the primer and will now need to re-prime it.
You might recall that I bought a Stuart tank at Broadside on Sunday. The eagle-eyed among you will have spotted that it was an M5A1. Which the Aussies didn't use - theirs were all M3s. Of course, I realised my mistake while I was prepping it. Hmmm. Maybe it can go with some US Marines?
Man you work fast. Impressive!
ReplyDeleteYep, the marines got the M5's around 1944 I believe, so it would work.
Looking good Tamsin.
ReplyDeleteI envy your speed and quality! I am still fighting painting an M4!
ReplyDeleteLooking Excellent!
ReplyDeleteMore Aussies! You certainly get a lot done.
ReplyDelete@ Dai - the benefits of being single with no kids - you can spend as much time as you like painting minis :)
ReplyDelete@ Michael A - cheers! :)
@ Herkybird - more time than speed really. And the quality adds time :)
@ Simon Q - thanks! :)
@ Lee - yes, more Aussies! Only 40 or 50 more figures to paint now... :)
These are Bonza mate :-)
