Having gotten out of bed at 6.00 am for work for over 40 years I still have the habit of waking up early . This morning I awoke at a quarter to six and wanted the loo . this woke the cat up who sleeps on the bed who then pestered to be fed , this woke the dog up (who sleeps downstairs) who started whining - so I got up ! Having done the morning crossword and had my breakfast it wasn't even 7 am , so I thought I'll have a look at the next batch of my Irregular FPW . One of the things I find is that playing a game always gets me wanting to paint more of them . These are two units one will be Bavarians and the other either Turcos or Zouaves .
I decided on a Bavarian Infantry unit , I like painting Bavarians ! any army that has sky blue uniforms gets my vote. In reality the uniform was probably a darker blue but seeing I've got a new bottle of sky blue paint I'm using it ! Here are the first figures ready for a coat of varnish which will cover up any mistakes in painting . All done before 8am ! a good start to the day - if only I was as motivated in other aspects of my life . .
A lovely start to your day and the Bavarians in light blue look grand, good choice of colour.
ReplyDeleteYes they are nice and bright and will look good on the tabletop.
DeleteI feel figures look better when they have their brighter clothes on …. So good choice. Great to start the day with the serious job done and dusted :-)
ReplyDeleteYes it's good to get the first figures of a unit done .
DeleteThey look great Tony, and it is a beautiful shade of blue!
ReplyDeleteNice and bright.
DeleteA good start to the day, not sure I'll ever manage that! Bavarians always a good bet, that blue is so distinctive.
ReplyDeleteBavarians are one of my favourite armies.
DeleteSeize the moment!
