A quick post today for the start of a brand new month. March has arrived, the fields are full of hares happily hopping here in Essex and the sun shines down on a hapless hobbist who is trying to take a decent snap of his wizard.
An extraordinary turn of events for someone who a few months ago didn't even own a paint brush!
In the end, the sun was too bright to get a decent snap so I retreated inside and used the rather ancient textured wallpaper in the front room as a backdrop. I really need to get around to printing some more scenes out like I had years ago.
Trouble is, I'm just too busy at the moment to spend any quality time with my beloved miniatures. This weekend I have my teenage children who required me to be Robert de Niro (a taxi driver) and ferry them around to their social lives. Even so, I managed to get the based finished of this lovely little figure.
He has taken me long enough as well. He was started a week ago during half-term week. He also stands as the final figure to be painted with my recreated 'Citadel Colour' set. With my next project I plan to upgrade to the monster set and try and improve the way I paint and shade different colours.
I've picked the first two figures for my next project already. I've just cleaned and based them up, though I plan to do a little research on these early figures before I start work. I'm intrigued to see how enthusiasts painted them back in the early '80s. And of course, how more modern fans of old '80s preslotta have treated them in more recent times.
Until then,
Orlygg
