Unfortunately no-one I work with actually lives in Swindon, so my evenings are spent in solitude in my hotel.
There was a time in my youth when I found this impossibly glamorous.
Now I just find it a drag.
Anyway to stave off boredom I remembered to bring some soldiers with me to help pass the time.
So last night was spent cleaning, glueing and painting to the sounds of 6 music
Here's what my desk looked like when I started. Glue, pennies and Foundry Africans
After an hour or so I had this to show
Ten archers all glued to Brenda's face.
They're these models I think Stealthy Tribal Archers
After that, with the superglue fumes inflaming my brain I started in on painting the Americans I picked up last week
Just base coats on the trousers, faces and helmets so far. I'm doing them the same way I did the last lot - simple base coats and then I'll dip them when I get home.
Apologies for the quality of the pictures - it's just on my i-phone with a hotel light bulb.
Tonight more basecoating and some spearmen I hope.
I remember sticking Epic models together in a hotel in the Netherlands. After a while airports, hotels, lecture theatres all start to look alike.
ReplyDeletegood use of some work down time, US troops are looking good
ReplyDeleteGreat use of time, I bet you wouldn't have got that much done at home?
ReplyDeleteIndeed folks a great use of an otherwise fruitless time.
ReplyDeleteI'm quite pleased with myself.
And I certainly did get more done than I would have at home.
