05.10.2025 14:02 β π 2 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Quick spray whilst the wind is down. Annoyingly can ran out when 95% done. So going to be some brushes touch ups
05.10.2025 13:41 β π 20 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Got my next battalion done plus some fillers so I can detach the guard. Now 3 line and 1 detached grenadier done
04.10.2025 21:12 β π 63 π 7 π¬ 2 π 0Itβs worth it if you can get it. I keep my eye out when visiting craft shops and have got a couple of bargains to stock up on

03.10.2025 14:19 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Partly itβs got pva in it, but itβs got better strength and sealing properties. Itβs also thicker so keep shape better for this type of application
03.10.2025 14:19 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Painted base
Once this dries it is solid and great for painting without the absorption you get from sand. If you get modge podge on a figure remove with a wet brush. A fine layer of it will dry matte and clear, so itβs a lot more forgiving than filler
02.10.2025 20:27 β π 16 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Mix of coarse basing grit
Close up of 4 painted figures on a base covered in coarse basing grit
3) I then use a mix of course round basing grit (sand is too fine) 4) I dip in the base and push the grit over from a few directions. The different layers of modge podge has a very good levelling effect to hide the figure base edges
02.10.2025 20:27 β π 12 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0I changed how I texture bases a while back for single skirmish figures and multiple bases. Hereβs a little guide. 1) I use a course brush to gloop on matte modge podge to the mdf base 2) then a small brush to put a thinner amount of the figures attached base
02.10.2025 20:27 β π 25 π 3 π¬ 3 π 0Got the bases textured and started cleaning up some metals
02.10.2025 20:16 β π 30 π 1 π¬ 0 π 0Glued to bases, started prepping the next batch and undercoat on opolchenie (think they will need another)
01.10.2025 20:41 β π 27 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0So far Iβve been lucky. My nemesis seems to be attracting cobwebs though as I spray outside. Trying to get them before they adhere to varnished figures
01.10.2025 08:09 β π 2 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Managed a quick varnish spray at lunch as the sun was out
30.09.2025 17:51 β π 21 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Just a couple of metal bits Iβve missed and these are done. Was aiming for end of month, wonβt get bases done but pretty happy considering hand troubles. Proper pics when based

28.09.2025 10:09 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Yes I have that as well π
28.09.2025 10:09 β π 2 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Thanks, will take a look. Looks a great asset

27.09.2025 19:54 β π 54 π 3 π¬ 2 π 0Got the white highlights done on half of these, that was mind numbing
27.09.2025 19:53 β π 24 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Feeling in hand has completely changed this week which meant picking up a brush felt completely alien. But Iβve found itβs important to try so managed to get some done on these. Just white, flesh and black highlights to go
26.09.2025 16:26 β π 43 π 3 π¬ 1 π 0Tickets are still available for Steel Lard, Saturday 10th October 2025. The venue is Patriot Games, Sheffield. It makes for an attractive weekend with Partizan 2 on over in Newark just over an hours drive away. Reply to me and Iβll pass you down the line to Richard.
22.09.2025 06:15 β π 28 π 5 π¬ 2 π 2Thatβs all the white done. Is it in the right place, broadly. Lots of touch ups to finish, but when your hand feeling changes three times when youβre painting you have to roll with it
22.09.2025 21:05 β π 33 π 1 π¬ 1 π 0Just the white straps and then a tidy up (rather a lot needed) before the wash stage on this batch of 49. Was hoping to do more and get the white started but brain is blurgh today
19.09.2025 15:53 β π 26 π 1 π¬ 0 π 0Almost finished the green but dropped a figure in my drink so it was time to stop, 10 more to go
