Hobby Update: April 2024 Desk Update

[@howarddavies3011]

Nice inspirational update, David. Just put my wife on the plane to Athens, so have a week to myself to follow your example and try to get some quick wins on stalled projects. Byzantine army to be based and some infantry painted too, I fear, and a load of late WW2 Volkssturm to base. Painted them all last year,went off on holiday and of course they’ve been languishing in their box ever since. Then to launch a 10mm MonmouthRebellion project. Figs all there in bags ready to go. Never a dull moment. Best, Howard

Hi Howard, Yes! Take those gaps wherever you can. Katherine has had me occupied in the garden, so that has limited my hobby time, but I think, when the chores are all done, I might find a moment extra here and there. Would love to see your work. What scale is that Byzantine army in? Been toying with getting a smallish force myself.

[@howarddavies3011]

The Byzantines are 15mm from Museum Miniatures. Horse are pretty good but some of the foot sculpts are a little lacking in animation. They are Nikephorian I think. Can’t t remember what rule set I bought them for but they are being based for Impetus/Milites Muncie from Gripping Beast. Both use 80mm frontage and I don’t think it’s that important if the depths vary by 5 or 10 mm.

Good to see you finding some time on the painting desk, the figures look great. Just keep ticking those boxes as you progress.

Thanks Ian. Tough when there is so much work to be done for the Memsahib. But we find our gaps where we may.

Oh, man! I remember doing similar units decades ago in 1/72nd. Yours are looking good! I hope your rebasing goes well. Cheers!

[@ZenMiniPainting]

Thank you for the wishes. I abhor rebasing, so I think I will just settle with these 60x60mm bases and leave it at that. "Never again!" Hope life on the farm is grand, and you are keeping well.
