[Slayer]

they all look fantastic , and a big thanks for the colour guide

[Silent Invader]

Yep, very nicely done. 

I read your comment that you did some of the painting while in a hotel.  I can never get my head around painting while travelling: I like (need!) my regular 'spot'.

Very true

With me it's not so much that I need my regular spot, it's more the extra three or four suitcases I'd have to pack to do just that  .

Although I have been known to paint up a few last minute bases on a couple of WAB weekenders in Notts back in the day!

Thank you.

If I am away on business I regularly pack a handful of brushes and paints and my daylight lamp so that I can rough in some basecoats. The 1L really useful box will hold 28 Vallejo Model Colour, a palette and a few brushes so takes up bugger all space.

Probably a silly question, 1 L Usfel box? Where are they available from Paul?

I have picked them up from Hobby Craft, Staples, B&Q, etc.

Whoops I meant 1.6L Really Useful Box. Sorry for any confusion!

[scrivs]

Slow progress this week, but another half dozen have been added.





As usual, more images on Scrivsland http://scrivsland.blogspot.co.uk/2015/04/another-six-germans-plus-upgraded.html

Damn it they're good ...

[Phil Robinson]

Nicely done.

Right, i'm with you on the sort of boxes you use. The very tough, flat bottomed one's that you can stick magnetic tape to, yeah?

Darrell.

Yes, you need the 1.6L though for paints, not the 1.0L

Cheers Darrell, what with Salute and everything it has been quiet on the painting (Western) front of late, but that changed this weekend.....



I've put the finishing touches on my last dozen Great War Miniatures WWI Germans. Time to make a start on the French next.



More images etc. over on Scrivsland.

Great work.... I don't know if i told you but you're at least partially responsible for me ordering quite a few packs from Nick?

I'm holding out for a campaign that should be starting at the Durham club (at least that's my hope if anyone from our club is reading this?  ).
