20mm Goodness 2

Tweets are in reverse chronological order:

:: It looks I might have another snow day, which might be a good time to get some painting accomplished.

:: My Splintered Light Minis are languishing down on my workbench and are crying out “Paint Me, Paint Me”.

:: I haven’t had any desire to paint lately. I have know motivation for much of anything lately.

:: Haven’t gotten around to any painting lately, perhaps I will have sometime on Thursday.

:: Over the weekend I did get to do painting of shields. The shields have designs that will look good with some contrasting colors.

20mm Goodness

These tweets are in reverse chronological order:

:: I hope to get to some painting this weekend and paint the fur on my Splintered Light otter.

:: I have been extraordinarily busy lately and I haven’t been able to get to my work bench all that much this week.

:: I am still not all that happy with the previously mentioned color combination; it seems a bit too light. I might try dry brushing the swords on the three miniatures and see how that works out.

:: I am not too happy with the results and I am going to try using equals parts of the silver and grey, but leave the speck of black out.

:: I have been experimenting with different color combinations for my miniature’s swords. One combination that I came up with is to use equals parts of silver and light grey and just a squirt of black to represent an iron sword. To gain some knowledge of shields I visited the Shields: Terminology and History site.

:: All five of my miniatures have received some paint. I like painting sets of miniatures, in that it gives you something to do while the paint dries on the current miniature.

:: The painting of the first set of 20mm Splintered Light Miniatures is under way, and their size has not been an issue, as long as I have my spectacles and there is plenty of light. However, I don’t see myself painting anything much smaller.

What is on Your Workbench?

I am glad you asked. “Way too much.” I am hoping to get organized and to get something accomplished this year. Here is a list of projects I hope to complete during the winter:

1. One set of five 20mm Faithful Hero’s from Splintered Light Miniatures. Need to be painted.
2. A Model Power 1/87 scale supply shed with details. Needs to be assembled, painted, detailed, and based.
3. A Zelda four figure 1/72 British WWII machine gun crew. Needs to be assembled and painted.

Splintered Light Miniatures-Faithful Heroes 2

My miniatures from Splintered Light are beautiful. They are full of detail, but boy are they small. I had the notion that 20mm would be a bit larger than these are. I have worked with 25mm miniatures before and presumed that 20mm couldn’t be all that much smaller, but alas they are.

Here is a primed set of Splintered Light’s Faithful Heroes 2. The figures include an otter, a badger, a hare, and 2 mice. All are armed and presumed dangerous. I look forward to working with them.
