Looks bloody brilliant.
 :-* :-*

And about time too.
 :D ;)



I think we must all just face the facts, that you like building terrain much more than you like painting figures  ;)
(Me too in some ways - maybe we should give up wargaming and take up model railways instead.  :D)

I should join that club.
After terrain, I prefer putty pushing, with figure painting a distant third....
Not into trains, though....

That's come together nicely, now paint up the figures and we can have a game at BLAM! :)

Thanks chaps  :D

Well, the table has now been cleared and is readied to prep minis...... Quite a few of the minis will need a smidgen of greenstuff to cover faces with masks..... While I truly admire what Dr.De'ath has achieved in painting his 15s to 28s standards, I won't be painting faces!  ;). I've also bought some GW washes, which will be an interesting try-out.

Do I prefer making terrain to painting minis? Well the evidence would certainly suggest so!  But in reality it's not quite as simple as that.  What I really don't seem to be able to motivate myself to do is paint minis without both the gaming mechanic and scenic context pretty clear in my head.  I feel that I paint minis better and quicker if I have a clear purpose for them.  Incidentally, I did once have a railway but found that hobby to be too static so broke it up and/or sold it when finished.  :D

My LAF Gallery is HERE
Minis (foot & mounted) finished in 2024 = 0

I don't paint the faces, I just paint them flesh and wash them with GW flesh wash (and then touch in the nose and cheeks when they're dry).   :D

Then he paints in the eyes, adds the five o'clock shadow, teeth and the occasional interesting scar or mole.  ::)

I only did the five o'clock shadow twice, I do paint lips and the odd scar, but I never paint the eyes.  It's mostly washes - honest :)

I've decided to abandon this project (Old West and Sicily 1943, both in 28mm, will henceforth satisfy my 'arid' terrain urges).  So I thought I'd start by listing the 6 terrain tiles for sale. They've been carefully wrapped and boxed for storage but can I find them........ Agh, no! The hunt continues.....
