Are You Painting this Week?

I have a nice long weekend coming up. A bank holiday monday plus 2 days leave hehe. My main focus will be making a pile of terrain but I'm also going to try a three pronged assault on some 28mm US, some 15mm Stugs and Tigger 2's and back to a long neglected Orc and Goblin Warmaster army. Oh and maybe some LORT stuff as well. I'm gonna be busy..

ref John Ray comments above: thanks John. The Edelweiss Hussars are a fictitious unit for 18 century. The figures themselves are rather nice sculpts- a joy to paint! Phil

Painting my way through four boxes of 54mm Revell 100 years war figures. After months of painting 20mm it's like being able to see again.

I have a confession, i said I'd do some ACW, well that lasted an hour or so before I got fed up and moved to some 28mm Arab Spearmen :doh:

Got the varnish this morning, so I'm out of excuses.

.. Resistence is futile. Duck is speaking like the Borg... No, resistance is amusing, but not as much as screaming. :devil:

Timmo, If I sent one of my painted figures to a professional painter they would not stop laughing for a week. Unlike Phil O, Lt, Tim, Giles, Anglebarracks,Yourself and other members who paint superb figues I am C..p!! Just give me a pack of milliput,brass wire and a soldering iron. When you have your next coffee break you should 'pop in'! Regards John John – I think I've been spotted… Last weekend my girlfriend had a hire car for work purposes so we had to take it out for a spin. Our coffee break was in your neck of the woods and we couldn't help but wonder which of the beautiful homes was the Ray household! Perhaps when I return from my holiday in mid June? I could tuck my paints under my arm… I guess even if you feel your painting isn't the best I can assure you that I for one, and possibly most of us here, are in awe of your sculpting ability.

Timmo, At my age painting is a chore! seeing other peoples painted figures is a real enjoyment, both Phil O and Tim H have visited this year and shown me some of their wonderful painted figures. Even though I am an 18th century boffin I love to look at all periods, Colonial being a favourite of mine. You are most welcome to visit anytime. At least then I can show you my fleet of ships, which have only left port once and that was only 11 of them. Thank you for the kind words on the sculpting front, for that reason if you visit I will open at least one of my pandoras boxes! Kindest John

John Thank you that's an extremely kind offer which I will take you up on! I'll PM when I return from my hols in mid June. I'll bring some figures to show, Perry Sudan, AB Napoleonics, perhaps some Copplestones. best Tim

John Ray wrote: <q>Your 18th century collection is so perfect with regiments of infantry of 54 figures. They seem less cumbersome than the 60+ regiments with the silly movement trays! </q> I don't know John, this system works fairly well for me and I kind of like removing each casualty, rather than going with a roster system or casualty rings. It gives me flexibility to use my figures for different rules systems or even use them for skirmish games. Eventually though, I will need to replace the foamcore and magnet sheet trays with MDF so that the tray has a tidier appearance. Rome wasn't built in a day though.

Primed the gallows, the ALBRU, the log cabin and the doctor's place today. Then I gave the cabin and the ALBRU a grey weathering. Don't know if I'll find time to do more about painting till Sunday.
