I have been in something of a painting funk lately. Nothing can kick start my painting like a large group of American Civil War figures. I painted up those command figures in winter attire last week, and I have no troops for them to command! I prepped 168 Union infantry from Raven Banner Games. All these troops are in overcoat, so speed painting should be a breeze.
Yesterday I got the hair and face basecoat done. Today I am working on their overcoats and trousers.
I'll have more pictures up tomorrow. I would really like to hammer these out in a week. I've never painted so many 28mm figures that fast before, but it should be doable.
Scott, even after all of these years, you still amaze me at the the number of figures you tackle in one blow. I will not be surprised if you finish these in one week and I certainly would not lay money against you.
ReplyDeleteWe'll see. A week may be overly optimistic, but I think it can be done.
DeleteAwesome and amazing to finish off this project within a week!... Scott, Do you have a copy of Raven Banner Games - ACW The Devil To Pay rules? if so are the rules playable? Thinking of buying a set myself soon...
ReplyDeleteSomehow I had completely missed that set! Please let us know what you think of it.
DeleteHey, Phil - where have you been hiding the past year? Good to "see" you out on the "blogosphere" again!
DeleteBlimey - that's more figures than I've painted in the last two years! :o)
ReplyDeleteYou know me. I like to game, but I primarily just paint figures ...
DeleteI know I have never done that many figures at a time - Lots of up to 90, yes, but that's about it.
ReplyDeleteI keep thinking that sometime I will order 1,000 identically posed miniatures from Front Rank and see how long they take me. I think I could do a color every four days and finish up in a month or two.
DeleteI'm someone who has lived a life seemingly in the background, I must say this final indignity I have suffered almost too much to endure. You see, I have been sickly and weak since the day I was born and doomed to go through my life weakling. I seemed to have always suffered from one illness or another and could never play with the other children as I so desperately wanted to. Mother always made such a big fuss over me, also, making the situation worse as the other boys teased me mercilessly after they saw it. I was browsing the internet searching on how I could be transformed into a powerful person when I came across the email of a man named Lord Mark. who was a VAMPIRE so I told him that I has always dreamed of becoming a VAMPIRES, All i did was just to follow the procedure that i was been told, and i bet you that procedure I took change my entire life to something i ever desire, freedom, sickness free, pains free, fame, influence, connections and even more that i can. Thanks to Lord Mark. Do you want a life full of interesting things? Do you want to have power and influence over others? To be charming and desirable? To have wealth, health, and longevity? contact the vampires creed today via email: Vampirelord7878@gmail.com
