As you can see, I've been making good progress with the third board of British paras - first batch done (apart from varnishing) and second batch started. I should finish the second batch on Friday leaving just one batch to do which (if all goes well) will be finished on Sunday. I can then varnish the whole lot on Monday.
Here's a slightly closer pic of the first batch:
Yes, I have painted tartan! It was actually less difficult than I'd expected, once I got past an initial mistake.
Once they are all done, I will switch to painting the lizardmen - they should be a quick paint job, but will act as a nice palate cleanser.
excellent Tamsin.
ReplyDeleteAll coming along nicely.
ReplyDeleteAh, painting tartan. Why do we do it to ourselves? Although you are right, once you get a system it is easier than expected. (But I'm not painting any more Napoleonic Highlanders in a hurry.)
ReplyDeleteExcellent work Tamsin, the tartan is awesome, I am however looking forward to seeing the lizardmen
ReplyDeleteNice job on the tartan Tamsin!
ReplyDeleteI really like the subdued colours, they make the figures so much more realistic looking!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat work, not sure that guy in the kilt would be jump safe ;)
ReplyDeleteGreat work Tamsin coming along nicely.

@ marinergrim - cheers! :)
ReplyDelete@ Michael A - thanks! :)
@ Peter B - thankfully that was the only one, and I have no plans for painting highlanders so it should be the last! :)
@ Dave Stone - cheers! The lizardmen might be along in a few days :)
@ Ray - thanks! :)
@ Herkybird - cheers! Subdued? Maybe it's just the lighting :)
@ Paul SS - thanks! Just as well he was a glider pilot rather than a para then! :)
@ Stuart S - cheers! :)
