Nice bats, reminds me I have some Splintered Light bats to work on.  One day.

With a hour and a half of June left where I am, a small addition to my total for the month:





Yesterday finished up my Robin Hood 'team' of eight figures including a horse and a dismounted version of Robin.  Today I finished up two dog handlers and their four dogs - for the opposition (though, of course, useful in other ways.)

So, I finished 227 figures in June.  A much larger number of Robin Hood related figures are in process with more added to the table today - just the skin base so far on today's adds.

And I really need to get started on certain pulp figures for a game planned for November - a lot to paint.

Congratulations! I'll be happy with that for an annual output of painted miniatures...

So, Mike, for these monthly tallies, it seems terrain - and scatter bits - matter just as much as figures, yes?  If so, July is off to a promising start.

What a fantastic month of painting you've all done - I better get my finger out.

To me, yes! I track all three at the end of each post on my Lead Legionaries blog. I'm putting this in June because the figures were all painted by then. It just took me a couple days to get them photographed and blog entry written.



The last of the 25 Viet Cong I purchased from Crucible Crush's Black Sun range.



The last of the 35 U.S. infantry. The initial purchase and painting for this project is done!!

I finished building and painting a few accessories for the building I painted earlier in June.

The first two are interior walls and stairs for the building and the last is a roof access door. They’re all scratch built using styrene sheet, except the stairs, which are pre-made O-scale stairs by Plastruct.

[Pattus Magnus]

Some pictures of the walls in place, with a survivor and a zombie to show scale. Note, too that I made the walls a bit shorter than the building’s exterior walls (45mm vs 60-70mm) to make it a bit easier to move figures around. The stairs are also narrower than a figure base - I assume that figures don’t need to be on the stairs, they can move from the door to the landing as part of a move. If combat happens on the stairs, players will just have to imagine it!

that is so well done... 

[Pattus Magnus]

Thanks, I appreciate that! This one is a “proof of concept” - I’ll be applying the same principles to more buildings as I carry on with this project.

[anevilgiraffe]

well that's definitely working...

Lovely job on that mate
