And that's that batch done. Next I need to turn attention to previously painted but undecal'd other bits I found in the box, then all the bldy germans and their fiddly bits.
Decals done. Next up, weathering and muddying up. Those decals look fsr too fresh. #spreadthelard
Waiting on the transfers to arrive but 15mm british supports for CoC² and big What a Tanker games are mostly done. Transfers and mud ahoy. Battlefront plastics with Debris of War additional stowage... #spreadthelard
Everyone loves a flak tractor - quad 20mm armoured Sd. KFz 7/1. All ready as a terrain piece for CoC², or an objective for Go Commando when it gets released... #spreadthelard
Carne asado. Weekend tacos it is. Now roasting a chicken as well on the leftover heat.
Right. Oilwashes are dry but need to leave for a good few days to properly cure. So, back in the boxes these go, and then it's all the tracks, details, decals and weathering. Fingers crossed these will be done by the end of summer. #spreadthelard
Today's mission... oilwashing all the 15mm armour. Feels good to get back to the smaller scale stuff for a change. #spreadthelard
It's too hot to do much else bar spray can work, so a few flak tractors have got sprayed up for a bit of battlefield flavour/terrain pieces.... could come in handy as things to blow up for Go Commando. 3D prints courtesy of @sabotag3d.bsky.social #spreadthelard
Hope @hicksy.bsky.social is happy with how Monty turned out, and OC IC @almurray.bsky.social also. Paul is doing a great thing with this mini - helping raise cash for Finley's Touch - so go and buy it, and paint away! #spreadthelard
A based, primed and zenithaled Monty, sculpted by @hicksy.bsky.social and bought from @footsoreminiatures.bsky.social... #spreadthelard
Firefly and Comet pretty much finished up and varnished and so join the british armour support options. #spreadthelard #chainofcommand
Need some more transfers to turn up and then I can finish these up and then all of my (current) 28mm armour is finished... #spreadthelard
@hicksy.bsky.social has released his Monty on Footsore Miniatures! Go get one! #spreadthelard
A little light noodling around with some weathering and this Stuart rolls off the assembly line. #spreadthelard
It's too hot again to be able to do much bar an oilwash over these two supports. Love the dinkiness of the Stuart, they must though have been terrifying to be in. #spreadthelard #chainofcommand²
M'better half is away on manouveres in Oxford with chums, so homemade smashburgers and oven fries for the champs and me before we settle into Raiders of the Lost Ark. Pretty much perfect evening tbh.
A Stuart and a Puma all primed up in the glorious heat, and finally I have succumbed to sexyeyegoggles to help with painting... can finally crack on with @hicksy.bsky.social delightful germans as I finally accept age and eye quality for detail work are not compatible. #28mm #spreadthelard
Another glorious sculpt on its way from the wizard fingertips of @hicksy.bsky.social #spreadthelard
Adventures in camo-land continue, with my first attempt at peadot. Lots ledt to do on this squad leader but pretty happy with how this mini is shaping up. #spreadthelard
One day I will ride all the way up the GU to meet @megaslippers.net for a pint.
Got fed up with batch painting so finished (bar the base) this fella up. Lovely sculpts as ever from @hicksy.bsky.social. #spreadthelard #nerdlings
Very much in the post wash pre highlight stage. God save me from german belt kits and webbing.... the camo I love, the belt kits (no matter how well sculpted by @hicksy.bsky.social) are always a massive pain to paint... onwards and upwards! #spreadthelard #chainofcommand²
Have put aside the pesky plastics and reintroduced @hicksy.bsky.social lovely Kampfgruppe Arnhem to the desk. Blocking in all the base layers before getting lost in german camo patterns again... #spreadthelard #chainofcommand² #nerdlings
