Long Time Since An Update

Project Zulu was cancelled as the order never arrived and I got distracted with other projects and cancelled the order. Still tempted however

Looking at the positive

But since cancelling the project I did finish my 15mm PITs British Foot army and purchased the dervishes who are based and some even partially painted, should be able to knock these out once I get going

Other painting this year has included a couple of Parrom Station Miniatures Martians bought 3 years ago at Salute.

In total the first quarter was only 35 figures including;-

Perry Miniature Mahdi, pack donkeys and adventurers for Darkest Africa and a few Chinese for BOB.

Hopefully get some figures up soon.

I went to the Tunbridge show and bought a few pieces of terrain and have also purchased Too Much for the Mahdi plus osprey books on the Russians and Chinese

Looking at the negative

A quarter of the year gone by an I still have not fixed in my mind one single project that I want to throw cash and time into, the decision is between:-

Historical

WW1 Africa
Darkest Africa
Zulu Wars
Back of Beyond
25mm Sudan
WW2 Skirmish
War of Spanish Succession
ECW

Fantasy

Space 1889 style Martians
Victorian vampire wars
Near future/Zombie wars
Starship Troopers – although I unsuccessfully test painted on of these figures
New GW undead army

Going to Salute so will hopefully make my mind up then

New set of Mordheim Buildings

Last month I finished off my second set of GW Mordheim buildings. Both sets now complete, just need to get around to playing some games.   

Helping Hands 3

Third of the monthly posting of the other world Henchman in conjunction with Duke of the Blood Keep and Minis by Finch This time it's the turn of the poor donkey, carrying an excess of adventurer baggage. I have tried feathering the body of the donkey with the intention of showing up the texture of the hairs but I am uncertain how effective it is. Similarly with the white underbody, I am wondering if I have gone too far down the legs. As a bonus I painted the Cerepod (or Grell for the original Fiend Folio), the poor donkey is doomed. The Cerepod is painted in similar colours to the one on the otherworld site which having looked up its entry in the Fiend Folio are not strictly speaking authentic! In addition ahead of starting on my Drow and Driders I have test painted two old GW Demonettes. Clearly the grey one is the test paint (however stupidly I forgot to note which grey I started with), the pink one was to try out some new paints. I tried something
