Adventure calendar

 Me up and painting before the sun rises.

Bought this adventure calendar some weeks back and opened door no 1 today-
Each day a wee part of the game is behind the door, today was a figure.The door is cut off to use as a dungeon door later. In each door there is a qr code which takes you to game rules and background.
Great fun, with a game scenario to look forward to next weekend..
P.s normal Adventure Calendar due to arrive in the next day or so.

Home

 I have recently been buying plastic Warhammer Empire figures, as I recently mentioned.Their condition varies from unpainted through to finished. However I am adding wee touches to bring out the slashed and puffed effect on their clothes-

Above before and below after. A wee touch that lifts them imho.
So here are the those bought so far including a bag of figures missing heads and hands and needing TLC.

On the work bench l am working on a couple of Horde elements for my late medieval German army. I decided to use a mix of figures including fantasy ones to give the impression of citizens defending their town but with minimal training or proper equipment. I shall continue to work on these-
This is the 60 by 40 base I will cram figures onto for a mob effect…
In other matters l attended The Edinburgh Prinmakers  ( https://edinburghprintmakers.co.uk/events/73/ ) open day. Jan used to be a member many years ago and I recall fondly popping into their previous premises to meet her and seeing her and other’s creativity. She enjoyed making Lino cut prints amongst other projects. When the Edinburgh Printmakers were moving to a new building l gave a wee sum of money towards the project in her memory. Yesterday was my first time in the  building and the first time I saw her name up as a contributor. It was quite moving to see.





December begins today and Advent too. The hobby will be taking a bit of a back seat probably as external and internal preparations take precedence.
