Back to the Brushes 344

It is hot here in Scotland tonight, hot and clammy and not in a good way either. Tried to paint last night however, gave in as it was really too hot and that's not something you'll read often. 

Prepped a few stands worth of Late Crusaders for ADLG and DBA. This time a mixture of Knights and Sargeants for the Knights of Jerusalem faction. Haven't gone overboard on these just enough to do what will be needed - two stands of three cavalry with figures from Gladiator Miniatures.

Then tried to paint again and shelved that idea so built a paint stand instead. Five sticky fingers and elastic bands later it was complete.


Recommend this or similar if you use Vallejo or similar style paints. Easy to assemble, tidies desk space - well you have to do that really - and you can see the colours whether the bottle is stored top up or top down. Personally, it's a top up house here. 

After that did a little prep work for a new 28mm project based on a pillar that my hobby is based on, but more of that later.  Some snipping, some gluing and a few sweary words at small parts that just won't go where they are glued and the first unit is on the way. Project E, as it will be referred to for a while has started and will be shown  once the first stands are fully complete. 

On the subject of Projects, will be starting the 30 Days 30 Miniature Painting Challenges again in August as feeling in a better place to commit to this again. The shine was wearing off and that's not what it is all about. 

On that will be back soon with some pictures of other ongoing stuff. 

Cheers for now.

Good to see you forge ahead with other facets of the hobby when the temps are too hot to paint.

Weather like that is conducive to very little I think!

I look forward to seeing your 30min project.
