Man & brush v Resin...

This project must have me all fired up!

Yesterday I picked up a brush & painted.

(This is monumental news for me).

These are two farmsteads from Total Battle Miniatures, the 6mm Italian/Spanish range. The castings are beautiful - just wash in warm water, allow to dry then undercoat. I'll do step by step of a few more maybe another time.

For now I am just basking smugly in the warm glow of my own creations. I haven't painted anything for a very, very long time. These testers have turned out exactly as I had hoped & another parcel arrived this morning so full steam ahead is the order of the day. 

These will make either small defensible built up areas or more pretty obstacles.

These will liven up the tabletop much to my satisfaction!

I really hope these work with 10mm models, I'll check on game night tomorrow.

I have so far resisted painting the doors & windows as this seems to work just fine.

All this needs is some deck chairs & a glass of dry white wine - suitably chilled.

The slight elevation really appeals to me. It adds an element of drama & romance.

Birds eye view. The nasty stain has been dry-brushed out.

I could live here!

Yesterday I also planted six trees in my garden so I am extra uber smug! With luck my mood will hold & I'll post again soon.

Best wishes,

Jeremy
