I got the figures based up and ready for spraying and so 'earlyish' on Sunday morning having fed the hens and dog - and taken my wife a cup of tea in bed I decided to spray them black - not ideal conditions - rather frosty ! .
Of course you need the proper gear for this sort of thing - carpet slippers and dressing gown .
Hugo came to see what was going on - and promptly left when I started shaking the spray can ! .
The leaders of the two forces , the French Officer on the left the British on the Right .
Once sprayed I quickly took them inside to let them dry , my wife came downstairs and said "what's that funny smell ?", oops ! thought she was still in bed !?.
Great figures and project. I used theses rules recently with my figures and it gave a great game.Enjoy!

Simple rules am looking forward to using them again , Tony
DeleteGood to see you are wearing the proper equipment. You've been dealing with my tailor I see.
ReplyDeleteWas a bit nippy - which speeded up the process ! , Tony
DeleteNeat little project. Lovely to see you using Minifigs - brings back memories of my schooldays and saturdays at the school wargamimg club - when napoleonic armies of Minifigs, Hinchliffe and Hinton Hunts battled on the tabletop ....
ReplyDeleteYes I had lots of Mini Figs in the past , ACW , Marlburian all sold on . Nice to get back to these figures even if it is only in a limited way , Tony
DeleteHmm perhaps should have presented a full breakfast to occupy her longer. I gave up spraying in favour of brushing on an undercoat due to issues with spousal issues with the fumes ftom spraying even if the figures spent a week drying in the wood shed and I changed my clothes before reentering the house. Winter priming was right out!
ReplyDeleteNormally I leave the figures in the out house , but it was rather frosty so I thought I could get them dry before she arose , Tony
DeleteAlong with Ross, I reverted to brush undercoating after temperature issues, the paint or varnish drying with a strange finish. I'm looking forward to seeing these chaps finished and in action.
ReplyDeleteI don't do spray varnish - had bad results in the past , not to bothered with undercoats , Tony
