Painting totals for August and more Dogs...

I managed to fit in a fair bit of painting over the weekend, after taking most of the week off from the activity. A lack of inspiration/interest that I guess most people have at some point. I did however finish the core of my Dogs of War army, though a future post will show that they need plenty of support to become a useful force. Unfortunately, there are no proper photo's of them yet, so I'll reveal them in a another post.


In the meantime here are some work in progress shots of my army paymaster - Allesandro Panini himself:

This started life as an Empire standard bearer, from the early 90's I think. I've done some light conversion to him by adding a cloak and a set of Keys - all paymasters carry keys as a symbol of office!

I'm not the best with the sculpting skills, and I don't think my present sculpting putty is quite the quality of 'Green Stuff'; but I'm reasonably happy with the cloak, it should paint up nicely.

So, it's not quite the end of the month yet, but nothing is going to be finished before the end of it now I think, so it's time for another update. Purchases have become almost endemic, rising to 95 figures/models - this was not part of the plan and to be honest, is rather annoying. However I have now completed 212 items - almost all of which are 28mm figures. I need to get a better ratio though, so I'm going to dip into the stockpile of old models sometime soon, for a last hurrah in the year, before all the toys get packed away again.
