This morning my wife has flown back to the UK for a week visiting friends and family, so as it's just me, the cat and the dog here I intend to get a good bit of painting done. Shaz has taken a fair few bits back with her that she won't be bringing back again so with spare room/weight in the suitcase I plan to get in some orders for hobby items that I need. I need basing materials, static grasses, tufts etc in order to match the existing bases, and I'm looking at some large tree kits, possibly woodland Scenics. She will also be bringing back another 2.5kg of 40mm figures!
Royal Artillery crew and 9pdr, 40mm by Sash & Sabre. Just noticed I have not painted the gun sergeants stripes! Blue appears slightly lighter shade in these pics than in reality.
Very nice and also fortuitous for me as I am currently painting some in 20mm and struggling for painting guides!
ReplyDeleteThanks Ian, it just struck me that I should possibly have painted them in white summer trousers for the Peninsular? Not sure. I'll leave them though as they match the existing painted gun crew. Tricky chaps these what with all that lace, I'm sure you will do a fine job.
DeleteGreat looking guns and gunners! Nice to get a bit of hobby time too!

Cheers Iain, I have time on my hands this week :) Been cloudy and raining since Shaz left but I'm told it's sunny in the UK!
DeleteNice, very nice job!

ReplyDeleteCheers Andy, they are such wonderful chunky figures, I'm enjoying painting them.
