Model Miscellany

...

Time for another sweeping update, as we are still mainly indoors and painting continues.  I'll keep a couple of specifics back for their own posts, but here are some odds and ends from the last few weeks:

Lavender Hill Mob

At times it's almost felt as if I was running out of things to paint, but in truth there appear to be a good thousand or more mini's hiding about the apartment.  Still I'm getting close to the end of the Imagi-Nations project, for now, with the addition of two more infantry regiments and a pair of Artillery limbers.

Scarlet Pimpernels and Limbers

Similarly on it's last hurrah, is the Conan Board Game.  With the finishing of the bits below there are only a dozen or so mini's to go.

Bosonnian Guards

Both the Guards and the Skeletons below were essentially one session each. 

Undead

The skeletons in particular were largely drybrushed over a basecoat of brown and then extra shades of brown filled in.  Incredibly simple.

Speaking of simple:

Vroom, Vroom.

I added some more road, specifically curve sections , to my Gaslands etc. track.  just an hour or so with some craft paints, but the result is tolerable.

The biggest effort in this post, went into the 8 gentlemen below.

Splitters!

These are Jewish revolt slingers.  Auditing the stocks, I found these part built and in need of some love.  I added mantles (their traditional cloth 'scarves') and sling-stone bags with Green Stuff, and then gave the whole a decent paint job.  It is a nice change to work on small, simple units like these, and again progress was relatively quick.

Quite the Smorgasbord.  Variety is stimulating I find, as I am then never bored of just plodding out the same old uniforms or colour schemes, or using the same technique.  Always having a few options that should not take long is good to keep motivation going.

Next up, something unspeakably big, with some new effects tried on it...
