Sorry about the hiatus in posts.... So much going on at the moment. Youngest lad starting secondary school, purchase and testing of a campervan, my other hobby of metal detecting kicking in because it's harvest time, and sundry other excuses. Here follow some hasty shots of what's going on in Broadsword Towers.
First off, I have taken delivery of 10kg of preliminary Hinchliffe fantasy castings courtesy of Oakbound Studios... thanks Geoff, that must have taken some time to spin. I now need to check through them to make sure the moulds are behaving.
Over the past few weeks I've also been trying to get some terrain finished for my Robin of Sherwood figures. Something I've been meaning to do for ages. I bought some excellent trees from The Last Valley, and managed to get a grubby early mediaeval village finished. I'll do a proper set up shot soon, but just to prove I've done it...
As a palette cleanser, I also cracked open the Toyhammer box, and prepared some baddies for painting. Here they are underway.... I so enjoy block painting over a white undercoat.
There is more Toyhammer goodness coming in the form of a lovely Wooden castle my Dad made back in the early 60s. Just right for these fellows to attack.
Next post will hopefully be very soon.
Like the sound of that childhood castle - I had one but think it was past onto a younger cousin and disappeared into the mists of time sadly .
ReplyDeleteIt's a lovely castle that was my brother's. I played with it a lot as a child ( he's 10 years older than me), but then he had it back for his own kids. He's just given it to me for good and I'm looking forward to adding a new garrison and attackers.
DeleteI too look forward to seeing the castle. The hinchliffe figures have painted up very nicely.
ReplyDeletePainting coming along. I'll try and post the castle soon
