Seasons Greetings

Just a quick note to wish all a Merry Christmas!

A couple of pics from the Foundry range to show how the season can effect us all:

All the best to you all

We're back

Without tempting fate, the 5th Phalanx is now nearly complete. The re-painting of the bloomed matt varnish has been completed and in the main is a fairly good match to the original paint job. The figures have been hand varnished and at about 2 minutes a figure this will probably be the way forward from now on. Just can't face having to repaint another stand in the future.

Not sure if the remaining phalanx will be finished this year, hopefully, but with Christmas just 3 days away time is limited. The easier option would be to complete the 2 started units of skirmishers - 1 with javelins and the other with slings. Who can tell, how it will all work out.

Anyway enough rambling and here are a few pics of the 5th phalanx as the glue for basing them dries.

A little glimpse of what 2011 hopefully will be offering:

But more of that later.

Cheers for now.

ECW First Picture

Just a quick update on the ECW Late Royalist Infantry bases:

Hopefully more to follow shortly with pikes attached to the second base - if they ever turn up.

Also a few pics of some 20mm German Armour for Disposable Heroes that have been hiding out in the workroom for the last few months.

Cheers for now.

Loose ends

Well today has been a bit of this and a bit of that, but things have been done and few loose ends tied up.

The casualty markers from early in the summer have finally been flocked and varnished - by hand - along with a few more disordered markers.

Some more work has been done on the third base of the Late Royalist Army for Impetus Baroque, which means the infantry are all but complete, just needing the odd pike here and there. This however depends entirely on the Royal Mail ever delivering something of worth again; as still waiting on the wire for their pikes to arrive.

And last, but not least, the 5th Phalanx of Spartans has been dusted and the tunics and linen armour repainted where necessary. Hopefully be able to finish this base of as soon as possible and start painting the army in ernest again over the next few months. The planned finished date of the Monday before Christmas is long gone but at least the hoodoo over the varnishing mishap is gone.

Will get some pictures posted over the next few days.

Cheers for now
