Shed Wars ECW - more figures painted (8/3/17)

[Elk101]

More figures painted in a day than I have in a year. The shame!

[Eric the Shed]

Cheers guys...just 200 plus infantry to paint

Well done.
That is a lot of time painting.
May I ask, how many hours did you take to paint all the figures?

I reckon each regiment took 2-3 hours. I cheated somewhat by doing all 60 horses, tack etc in one sitting of about 4 hours. Add another hour for all the bases.

The riders only 12 of them in each unit took a couple of hours...that's 10 minutes per figure

Please note that this does not include assembly, adding grit to base or priming. I did all the figures in one go for this stage.


I am tackling the infantry by regiment ...40 figures at a time. I'll time the process and feed back on the blog and here

I can report steady progress on the ECW Army - 200 of the 280 core infantry now painted, dipped and varnished - the rest almost done...

You're a one man sweatshop Giles! It's a much underrated period and nice to see it getting the Shed treatment. Did you check out the Bicorne character figures? They may well be too large for Warlord but they are very nice.

Excellent productivity Giles

[NurgleHH]

Oh, Giles, I think shed assimilates you to a painting machine. I am very jealous. My lead mountain needs a Giles...

[FifteensAway]

Not a period of interest - tried it once and painted some stuff but didn't work for me - but your productivity is inspiring.  It's all a matter of well organized assembly line processes.  Once upon a time I could put out 250 painted and textured based figures in a month or less.  Hope to return to such levels soon now that so many worldly distractions have faded into the background.  Keep inspiring me (or is that shaming me?)

Go, man, go!

Great painting.
Now really, how many people do you have in your shed,
 painting all those figures.

[Eric the Shed]

Finished painting all the troops at the weekend....

29th January looked like this...



21st March looked like this



Just got to finish basing and add flags...

If anybody asks that works out at 7.5 minis painted per day...

Cheers

That's incredible. ECW Shed Style!

[Marine0846]

Great work.
It should be inspiring to all of us that you can paint so many figures.
You have inspired me to kick in painting my AWI project.
Don't know if I can match your output.
But 30 figures a week is my goal.
That would be 300 painted in 10 weeks.

[Dr. Zombie]

This output is superhuman!

How do you do it? What is your method?

[Romark]

Outstanding,great discipline shown,wish I could apply myself as well as you.
