The 500: Day 1

Dec 02, 2014 07:29

Yours truly faking painting. 

Note the beverage of the gods.

Feudal Muster Procrastinating never finished anything, so I started the task off yesterday by evaluating what could be painted.

The 15mm scifi troopers are an obvious choice, since I never even packed them away -- they're sitting right there cluttering the desk. I picked out two baggies at random and cleaned a total of 80 troopers.

Then I dug through the archives for my old micro armor collections. The moderns box happened to surface first, and I found 25 Vietnam era M113 variants which I cleaned.

What is that? Cries of foul from the back row? You must be new to the game. I'm not changing anything for this little escapade. Everything still counts as one (except microscale infantry, which I probably won't do for this anyway), and they're done when they're done to the usual standard. I won't skimp on quality or change my processes just for this -- but I will be sensible about picking the subjects.

And in any case, painting the micro armor might get my Bungelin Bay Project rolling again...

Work also continued with the semi-finished men-at-arms (pictured), since they are already started they need to roll off the assembly line.

But as I prepared to prime the new figures, the primer can gave a pitiful wheeze and died out. And the stores were already closed of course. Bummer, but only a minor setback. I need to go get a stash of primer and varnish later today.

Figures remaining: 500
