A quick update!

Keeping busy here, currently painting more lovely AB Napoleonics for Mark and first batch of the 75 Epic Ancient strips for Leo in the US plus still adding to the Space Hulk figures for David. A few photos below.








Also started a new channel for the Branch line terminus model railway that is now well and truly underway bringing many fresh challenges such as electrical wiring, soldering and buildings card building kits etc. It's called 'The Painting Pensioner' should anyone care to take a look. Early stages but a nice way to document a new project.

How did I miss this? & 2nd Light Lancers.

My very obvious error was pointed out to me by a YouTube follower, I had glued the wheels on 12 ACW limbers onto the wrong axles! Not sure where my brain was when I built them but these things happen and I have even had a couple of messages saying they did the same thing. Funny enough customer Noel had seen the photos and when I sent him the video link he said had I not pointed it out to him he probably wold not have noticed it. Of course all corrected now and ready to be packed up and sent back to Noel in Ireland this week.


The next two weeks I'm back painting for Mark Lodge, more Napoleonic Peninsular cavalry starting with the 2nd Light Lancers, 8 figures and unusually for AB Figures the lancers are one piece castings while the officer and trumpeter the traditional horse and rider. Today it's onto the 26th Chasseurs - 10 figures. Gloss varnish as requested really helps the colours to pop.

Latest video - revisiting Bolt Action!

 I'm gradually going back through the blog pulling together images from old projects for a series of videos on my YouTube channel. This is the latest, the Bolt Action project from about 7 years ago or so, as usual great fun putting it all together but I no longer own a single piece of it!

Next up will be Flames of War then 15 years of 6mm painting.
