It’s been a while, but I seem to finally be over my bout of
painting burn out.
But first, some non-hobby updates. I’m still dealing with Sandy’s gift that
keeps on giving… no it’s nothing that has to be treated by prescription drugs (get your minds out of the gutter). My office building just had full power
restored last week, and has at least 2 elevators working now. I assume that means that both I and my staff
that have been scattered over 3 states since Sandy blew in way back in October will soon be back in
one (hopefully mold free) location. I’m going to hate adding an extra hour
and half back to my commute each way, but it pays the bills.
First up, the Russian Guard Jagers not my best work, but
they’re done. I actually finished these
right before Christmas, but I just finished the bases last weekend.
A Bombard battery.
The observant will note these bases aren’t complete, because I need some
recommendations from the handful of folks that read this. Way back when I started my Renaissance Armies
I finished my infantry bases in a very basic, paint the wood with a mixture of
glue and green paint and dip in railroad turf to flock the base. My basing has evolved since then, but the
dilemma is do I continue to base the infantry the same way for a consistent ‘uniform’
look? Or do I change to my current
basing technique, and have an inconsistent look? (I’m sure at least one of you
will say rebase the old ones to the current style – but I hate rebasing).
Soon to follow, a unit of Pikemen which are about 60% done
so far.
So much lead, so little time
