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).

Wednesday Workbench 25 January 2023

 


I've reached the slow-point with this batch of figures - basing. At least I only have the drybrushing and static grass left to do, so they will be finished tomorrow. 


You may be thinking "there aren't as many cavalry figures in that photo as you showed last week", and you'd be right. Given the time that basing was going to take (mostly due to slower drying at this time of year), I realised after finishing the Romans that I wouldn't be able to get the Gallic cavalry done in time. Their horses are finished, so it's just the riders that need painting, so they will be submitted next week.

I've also primed a few figures for the next studio visit, but I'm unlikely to get any of them painted in time to submit this week.

    1. As it turns out, I didn't really have space to start those figures, so they'll have to wait until next week. :)

  2. Ah, the joy of Basing! - I always console myself that after it I can actually USE the figures! I think a good base makes even averagey painted figures look better!!! (That's me, not you, yours is much nicer!!!)

    1. I like to make my basing look decent, but (opposite to you) I don't want it to detract from the painting! :)

  3. I feel your pain on the basing, probably my least favourite bit of painting ! LOL

    1. I enjoy the basing, but not the amount of time it takes in winter! :)
