Over the last few days our plans had to change due to a member of the Ducal Household not being well. Events were cancelled and commitments unable to be upheld. In practice it meant that l was at home when l expected not to be. A case of being around if needed and waiting a lot . I wasn’t feeling terribly like wrapping gifts or sorting things or even painting figures. So I pressed ahead with rebasing and painting some mdf buildings l had got cheap at a Wargames Show in 2024.
The buildings were bought from a Warbases rummage box, built and ar an excellent price.
I thought they would go well with my Conflix resin buildings I use for gaming 15th century to 20th Century.
Undercoated and left to dry on the radiator.
The painting process begun…
Figures soaking in water prior to removal from their old tired basing .
Rebasing on acrylic clear bases, a controversial choice to some folk.
The job continues…
Cavalry and skirmishers completed, with most infantry done. Command bases coming along…
The first of the buildings completed. Not bad at all and table top useable. I will be in the house today mostly and hope to try the other building. The Ducal House member is moving forward but it will probably be a marathon rather than a sprint…
Very nice building Alan. Best wishes to the patient.
ReplyDeleteI hope the progress in real life proves quicker than anticipated. Progress in the model world looks a successful use of time.

You have made excellent use of the limbo time of household illness and the happy disruption and distraction away from hobby time of Christmas. Get well soon to the patient!
ReplyDeleteYou are upholding your duties in fine style. Clear bases? Unusual, for sure.
ReplyDeleteNot a fan of clear basing but can see where they will be of use. Lovely work on the house, it looks a cracker, hopefully your family member will be better soon.
ReplyDeleteNice buildings Alan. Very effective paint-job too.
