More Painting...

 

Been away for a few days but have had time to finish off most of the WW2 troops

2x 25pdrs, 4 Vickers and 4 Boyes Rifle teams.   I still have 2 x quads to finish off.

Also managed to paint a Battlemasters tower for a friend.

After the 2 quads I am probably onto some 25mm Minifigs French Marlburians next.

Putting away unfinished things...

 

I decided this weekend that  I needed to be more disciplined in my approach to painting, so I have spent some time tidying out the Bureau I use for painting and painting projects.

I have filed away anything I won't get to this year or that has stalled and cleared the bureau surface off all paints and detritus.

The painting area will now only have one unit on it and the paints required to paint that unit.  I hope that helps me focus on finishing things a bit more...  I have tended to jump from one project to the next without always finishing stuff off or seeing things through to completion.

I have finished 12 x 25mm Minifigs Colonials today that I am painting for a friend - so it might be working.

Next up on the painting table is 20mm Early War British Boyes ATs, HMGs and 2 x 25pdr guns...

A Bridge of sorts...

 I have been away for a week at a Christian Festival my wife usually attends - I went this year with the caravan to socialise (as I know a lot of people in her church) and get some writing done.

We had fun but came back last Tuesday and on Wednesday both came down with Covid - like a flashback to 2020! I have been pretty ill all week and still have no energy and feel run down.

What I have been able to do is send some files through the 3d Printer.

Four days of running the 3d Printer on and off and I have a Star Trek style bridge...  It is 390mm x 390mm square

This consists of 9 "tiles" which each took between 1h30 and 3h30 to print, plus the middle command section (1h30) and the rails, 10 chairs and the door...

Now I need to work out how to paint it (possibly with an airbrush? or may speed paints ) and I need to produce drop in pictures for the view screen and the 16 other screens...  I'll probably get the ww2 stuff done before I start on painting a test corridor piece.

The design is by lv427-designs who produce a whole range of SF corridors and rooms.
