What a beautiful Saturday 17 degrees outside and a great day to be outdoors! Had a lovely surprise in the post this morning a while back I took part in a blog competition run by Andrew Saunders over at Loki's Great Hall and won a prize! To be honest I'd completely forgot and it was a nice surprise to get a parcel through the door this morning and I was more surprised at how heavy it was! I have to see a massive Thank You to Andrew as it is a magnificent prize!
Its an awesome looking plastic kit I shall have to decide how to approach painting it. It would look good as post apocalyptic ruins but that would limit its uses.
As you can see a few figs have left the paint table this week they where posted up yesterday Click Here for a look. Another scavenger is not far off being completed and the plan is to get another 3 done at least this week. I also stripped a couple of my Hasslefree figures namely Baker and Suzi just to paint them better. I also had a play with the Wargames Factory male survivors sprue built a stock kid and then bashed together a guy with a crossbow to use with my Wyre Protective gang I need some more putty though to merge the joins better as the bodies/arms I use aren't supposed to go together.
It looks like you will have fun with that ruin. Good lot of stuff on the painting table as well.
ReplyDeleteAn excellent prize indeed!
ReplyDeleteVery nice prize, Simon. I'm sure you can find many a use for it. Ruins are just so versatile.
ReplyDeleteNice prize Simon.
ReplyDeleteGood to see the scavengers taking shape. Lots of nice figures on the table to keep you busy.
What a magnificent prize - congratulations!
ReplyDeleteAs for the paint table, it looks as if you're just at the start with most of those figures. I find that a difficult period: it's after the (fun) assembly, but a long way from the satisfaction of a completed model.
I've had to curb the assembly part as it will kill my motivation to paint if I have to many. Now I've started the scavs I shall soon work my way through them all.
DeleteLoki is a generous chap, that looks like a fabulous prize and is a nice piece of kit - versatile.
ReplyDeleteI am envious of your weather, mate. It's about 2 here and I'm putting off my daily run. :(
He is indeed a very generous fella!
DeleteIt was quite cold a few days ago sort of around 4-5 on average but today has just been awesome. Its been like this over the past few weeks.
Hola
ReplyDeleteGuau menuda mesa te as preparado
Esa ruina tiene muy buena pinta,estaré a tentó
un saludo
Nice haul, Simon! I'm liking your Apocalypse survivors which also will easily become Zombie survivors! ( I love multipurpose game figures!)
ReplyDeleteI can appreciate your slow movement with the WGF plastics. I love the plastic kits, but I can churn out brigades of them in a weekend. Unfourtunately I can't paint them with the same speed!
I was really chuffed it is really a nice kit. I have to watch myself with overloading the table with to much I used to do it with GW armies many years ago and it used to kill my enthusiasm for it quite quickly.
DeleteWho's a lucky duck! There are a myriad of uses for that model. Envious.
ReplyDeleteGreat prize there chap and I am looking forward to seeing the paint of he shiny fellas
ReplyDeleteSoooo many uses for a ruin like that! Congrats mate.
ReplyDeleteAnd keep working on those survivors mate!
Congrats mate, they really are a nice set of ruins.
ReplyDeleteThe ruin is a great bit of scenery and very versatile.
