Yep just 1 figure today. The weather here has been dull and overcast. so much that it has been a "Challenging "time to paint. As such just a single figure finished. It is of course a Burpa Musician for Matt. As such it is a 28mm figure painted and based to fit in with the rest of his troops. I strongly suggest he carries a trumpet/horn of some variety. I am not up on the technical terms so I will leave it at that.
There are 4 more mounted troops on the paint table and I hope to finish them by Sunday. But It may well take longer.
I suspect a LotR figure will be the next thing finished, but that does depend on how things progress.
Elsewhere in the Projects:
Kevin from the club gave me these. 2 "Golden Compass" airships.The idea being that they could with a repaint and on suitable stands be used for "Crimson Skies" Time will tell.
But none the less a big thank you to Kev. Really appreciate it.
|Additionally a quick chat (is that a chattette?) with Tim reveals that his WW1 10 mm armies are very nearly finished. The Turkish is finished and the Imperial will not take long. This being the case I have put my WW1 project on the back burner. I will see how his turns out and then decide how, if at all to progress. Maybe I will turn into Arab Revolt... who knows.
That's it for today. I really do need to get my DIY head on and patch the wall left in the kitchen by the gas fitter.... GRRRR!
Nice work on the rider, Clint and some interesting-looking gifts too. More "LoTR" coming soon - marvellous news :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you Blax. The LotR figure is about 1/2 done so should be reasonably quick. And 4 more Burpas are started as well. I will carry on with all 5 figs this afternoon/evening.
DeleteVery nice Burpa Clint, and the airships look very interesting
ReplyDeleteThanks Dave. Once started/finished I will give more airship details. Enough to say I am very grateful.
DeleteThat was a very thoughtful and lovely gift to receive. I always like reading good news stories like this. :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you Bryan. I think LotR figure will be next. And I agree the wonderful thing about the club is we all help the other players if we can. It is very social like that and the gift was totally unexpected.
DeleteGreat job on the mounted musician Clint, and I totally agree about the dismal weather. Still, the days are getting longer and hopefully (if my "storm glass" is correct) it should brighten up a bit tomorrow :-)
ReplyDeleteThose airships look great, what sort of size are they?
Thank you Addict. The airships are quite small. About 10 inches ling. However not all airships would be the size of Graf Zeppelin. So if we think of them as light merchants we should be OK.
DeleteI shall or your prediction look forward to good weather tomorrow.
ON your Prediction..... just cant type some days. Sorry
DeleteNice job on the rider ....he does look a bit out of scale on the horse, were they bought as a pair ? Or matched up
ReplyDeleteThanks Matt. The figures are painted for Matt and he gave them to me as a pair. I do not know if they were originally purchased that way or not.
DeleteNice musician and on horseback too! So how many more do you need for a band?
ReplyDeleteThank you Joe. For a band? I don't know. 4 more on the paint table as I type this. And I hope to finish them tonight , tomorrow or Saturday a the latest.
DeleteNice job on the Musician. The Golden Compass vehicles were great. I never managed to snag any but when Empire of the Dead was on the Radar the Crystal powered Carriage was highly sort after.
ReplyDeleteThank you Simon. Not a golden compass fan, but I think the airships can be used. I imagine the Crystal Powered Carriage would fit perfectly for EotD. Shame EotD died out I always thought it had potential.
