Locally and trying a new hobby technique for the first time.

It was super to see the City getting behind the Team when I was out and about yesterday-

Merch vendors on the high street.
Shops have decorated their windows.
A display in the shopping centre of  items associated with the team past and present.
The local paper has got in on the act too. I wish The Pars all the best for tomorrow and hope anyone attending the match has a grand day out.
Meanwhile on the lead mountain-
I looked out what remains of the goblin/orc kickstarter l backer ages ago . It was from Colon Patten at Ragnarok miniatures. I opted for a mixed bag of assorted goblins.
I found what I was looking for and extracted the ones l was after- cave goblin types, unarmoured and primitively attired and arrayed. I decided to try the brush bristles technique to make their primitive javelins. I was surprised how well it worked and how easy it was to make a flat point with pliers.
Here they are on the painting desk awaiting more work. The desk is currently messy even by my own standards!

  1. I like those Goblins. I have lots of the Saxon versions and wish he would do similar looking wolf riders
