Started sleggering paint onto another 3 Fusiliers this afternoon, due to a torrential downpour stopping play outdoors. However, now that the first few basecoats have dried, they seem to have done so to a gloss finish, despite the paint being matt... All the paint was well mixed and thinned, so I'm not sure what's happened. The odd thing is that there's no rhyme nor reason to it, the grey used on the trousers was brand new, but the black and red for the tunics has been opened for ages and used several times without issue. Wondered if it's anything to do with the hot weather, but the, it's actually a lot milder than it has been. Strange.
Anyway... put the finishing touches to some of the Taffs that I had been working on. Still trying to get decent shots with the phone, and got a bit carred away trying to sort out the saturation on the computer with this first one...
Slightly more subtle attempts...
I did however give in and undercoat one of the Elhiem 20s that were waiting in the wings...ooh DPM. No! I must be strong! Got to get these chaps finished, then I can move on....
...ooh, new 14th Century Highlanders/Islesmen from Claymore...
Nooo!
Cheers
Iain.
