On this most jolly of days, I had the benefit of being able to paint
the whole afternoon and get a third entry done for the Challenge.
Not
that I`m a painting maniac, those small scales tend to paint quicker
then large models, but the GF is knock out from last nights foodfest,
and the fact she is a night shift nurse... so I`ll have the coming night
all by myself as well with Gettysburg and the Dr Who special on the
tele, and my brushes to keep me company.
But I get lost
in chitchats... this entry is upping the scale a bit, as I went from
6mm of my previous entries to 10mm this time. Around july I supported a
Kickstarter from Lancer Miniatures, for a force of 10mm English Civil
War models. It got funded with a nice margin, and when it arrived I
decided to put it to the side (like, about all my Kickstarters actually)
just for this challenge.
You know, in case I would ran out of miniatures otherwise *cough*
The
first unit I painted as such for the army are these Dragoons, 4 to a
base and 16 in total. I am going to make the whole force for the New
Model Army, yet decided on a failry generic Parliament flag in order to
not restrict the Dragoons to a specific battle or scenario.
It
are rather lovely little sculpts in my opinion, and they are a great
joy to paint. I`m taking the Challenge as a way to get some forces
either rounded out (my epic for example), or to start and perhaps even
finish other project, like these little guys.
On to the next batch of models... before the time draught hits and my turn-out will invariably suffer from it ;-)
Star Wars...in the shed-o-war!!

Wonders will never cease, and this weekend, the rejects witnessed the
arrival of sci-fi in Stuart's Shed-o-War for the first time. Steve has been
paintin...
