Just the briefest of posts from 'Awdry Towers' as I'm planning a productive morning on the brushes, as I understand the expression goes! I had to remove some pieces before this photograph was taken as they have yet to feature in '4th Analogue Hobbies Painting Challenge', but we can see some 'Heroic' looking Celts and a smattering of Matabele tribesmen - a taste of what's planned for the next couple of weeks.
Photobomded by a Spinosaurus - whatever next?
I look forward to seeing the results, though not the scoring!
ReplyDeleteI've a hobby weekend but am tempted to do some terraining (madness!)
Thank you my good man, it will be terrain building for me next weekend, hence the need to get something done now.
Deleteand a Celtic Cross by the looks :-)

Good spot Ian, all part of my Heroes entry in a fortnight.
DeleteHave a great day on the brushes... I am right behind you.. Off to fire up the airbrush.
ReplyDeleteAn airbrush eh, that hardly sounds sporting! ;)
DeleteThanks to show your paint table Michael! I also posted your link in my blog message.
ReplyDeleteGreetings, Sofie
You are more than welcome Sofie and thank you for starting it all off.
DeleteYour painting area is so neat Michael, mine looks like a bomb went off.
ReplyDeleteYou don't really think it's this tidy normally? I know this photo has been staged - after many visits, I know for certain there is something missing from this photo. The painting table at Awdry Towers is never without........a cup of tea!!!
DeletePip pip
Thank you Mr Smillie, it has to be kept relatively under control as it is on our dining room table!
DeleteAs for the tea, it is just out off shot on the left of the picture, safely placed on my Charge of the lLight Brigade coaster!
That is a cheeky looking Dino sticking his head in the corner of the picture.
ReplyDeleteI noticed how you have your paints in your rack Michael, I read on one of the forums somewhere that you should store your Vallejo paints the other way around as it mixes/keeps better. Whether this is right or not I don't know but I store mine nozzle down now to be on the safe side.
Cheers,
Pat.
Now that's a good idea Pat, I shall have to give that a go thank you.
DeleteGo fro it mate!
ReplyDeleteJust packing away now!
DeleteI look forward to seeing the Celts and Matabele warriors very soon Michael. Such a cheeky Spinosaurus.
ReplyDelete@ Silver Whistle - I store mine on the sides with the base showing, simply because it is more convenient for storage and for finding the bottle I need. I don't know if it helps with mixing/keeping.
Thank you Tamsin, made great progress on the Celts, but nothing touched the Matabele sadly. :(
DeleteAlso at the brushes today. 10mm Ansar for me and jolly dull it is too. SO I hope yours are more inspiring. I look forward to seeing them very soon.
ReplyDeleteThank you Clint and best of luck with your efforts, had a cracking weekend here.
DeleteGreat stuff! I rarely get any time to paint stuff at the moment :-(
ReplyDeleteOh man, that's not much fun; hope that changes for you soon.
DeleteNice tease!
ReplyDeleteShould be ready in a couple of weeks - I do paint very slowly I'm afraid.
DeleteOoh very swish sir... with the dinosaur it looks like a still from a lost Harryhausen film...
ReplyDeleteThank you Kieran, but he's a nightmare that one, into everything!
DeleteI see Zombicide is trying to break out in the background. I store my paints tip down it does help with the mixing. Have great painting day!
ReplyDeleteGood spot Robert, enjoying that a lot at the moment and tip down seems to be the way to go I hear.
DeleteLove that dino in the corner! It looks like it doesn't like to be on the photo! The Celts look nice so far Michael!
ReplyDeleteGreetings
Peter
Thank you Peter, really pleased with the progress made with the Celts over the weekend.
DeleteGo for it my friend.
ReplyDeleteThank you, I may need some new brushes after this weekend!
Delete"Photobomded by a Spinosaurus"
ReplyDeleteAt least he smiled mate!
But just look at those teeth!
DeleteVery interesting the showing of the Painting Table. There are always a lot of things to admire and to learn!
ReplyDeleteI have to confess that I love seeing how other people set up their areas too!
