Back to the Brushes 358

Strictly speaking, no brushes have been used for these figures at this point. 


Swiss files, scapels and PVA to mount them on painting bases or grab adhesive for the 25mm rounds, yes. Brushes no. 

Rattle can session planned for the weekend all being well. 

As you will also note, no painting as distracted by prepping for the winter months.

Should manage a few figures over the next week, but not sure if it will be anywhere near thirty. 

Cheers for now

Back to the Brushes 357

After sorting the broken shields and spears the Thracians are back on the painting table. 



More to follow sooner rather than later. 

Cheers for now.

Back to the Brushes 356

Scenes from a game of ADLG last night as Sparta and their Thracian allies (in gray) failed to stop Hannibal and his elephants.




To further crush the fighting spirit of the Spartans the evening ended with a crash, bang, wallop! 29 shields and 19 spears to be reglued into place.


It is every gamers' nightmare and on reflection could have been far worse.

Cheers for now.

30 Days 30 miniatures - November 2022

 For the 30 Days 30 Miniatures Painting Challenge there is no theme to this, just to paint and complete 30 miniatures regardless of their starting condition or size. 

The outline of the challenge is detailed below, however the main point being to have fun with your hobby.

  • To paint 30 figures of all shapes and sizes in 30 days
  • The figures can be partly painted at the start as the main point is to complete figures that have been forgotten
  • Basing is not necessary to count as completed
  • Any scale is good
  • Too have fun
  • The end date is set by your start date - 30th November will be the end date of this challenge
  • To post updates as often as possible
  • Lastly to show a roundup post with a group picture of everything.

Hope that you will find this interesting.

Cheers for now
