Welcome to the age of Air

I am 1/3rd of the way through my ECW cav commission so felt happy enough to go out and spend the money. I have been looking at getting an air brush for awhile so that is just what I did, I have looked at several on line stores but in the end decided to support my local hobby store ABC Modelsports
I will be getting used to the brush and you should see some of my handy work on here soon. On to what I have been painting the last few days, as I said in my last post my first entry for Euromilitaire is well on its way and the latest shots are below.



Next on the table will be a 120mm SAS figure from www.120mini.com this is for me to practice on the larger scale before I paint a WW2 Para for Euro. Also I have a fantastic bust of a 24th Regt Zulu war figure which I picked up from El Greco
Both of these figures are show below, they are both being prepared for me by my good mate Shane as I am a little lacking in the skills of prep but am getting better.
Well i have to go get ready for work now but will see you again as soon as i have anything worth saying
BTW the Ebays sales did not do very well so for now I will knock them on the head and stick to picking up a few commissions

Quick Week

I swear I blinked and missed this week, I did get my order from Foundrys new website very nice colonial figures two regt. For now they have gone onto the shelves to be painted later, I am getting near the end on my first entry for Euromilitare I will post some pictures as soon as I charge my camera. I started the ECW cav for my commission and have only 2 units left to complete my army in a month challenge.
So I guess it may have been a quick week but I got loads done.

Good Show

I have to confess that I got half way to the wargames show on Saturday and remembered I had left my camera at home so no pictures. I found the show good, I do not think the demo games were fantastic more just clubs taking the chance to play a big game. The traders were worth the trip on there own, I had been looking at some hard plastic Greek Hoplites with an idea of building a WAB army so when I saw one trader selling the box's for only £14 it was rude not to buy them. I also picked up a starter box of Warlord Games Romans which was only £45 for over 100 figures, these I will paint up and sell on Ebay or at a show. I am starting on the ECW Cav today and have only 3 units left on the army challenge I set myself. The only dark cloud is that I can not find anywhere that does the glue sticks for my glue gun, plenty of places do the larger sticks but my gun was a hobby one, still I will work out some way to attach the figures to my painting stick.
Anyway off to do some painting now keep safe.
