Since my last blog post, I have been doing a lot of thinking about my future wargaming. I have several ideas and possible strategies that I want to explore, but I have not come up with anything definite as yet.
Rather than sitting in my armchair pondering, I have been working on a couple of things. Firstly, I have continued renovating the Fallschirmjäger figures that I inherited from Eric Knowles' collection ... and they are looking good!
Secondly, I have been repainting the resin model of Tallinn's famous Viru Gate. The original model was painted silver(!) and red ...
... and I have repainted the stonework using a dark grey undercoat (Humbrol No.67) which I dry brushed with beige (Revell No.314). The roof tiles were repainted using carmine red (Revell No.36) and dry brushed with a 3:1 mixture of carmine red and beige. The results looked like this ...
... and I think it looks miles better.
Your new building looks great Bob. A useful purchase.
ReplyDeleteI haven't got anything done hobby-wise due to an excess of work (can't complain really as it pays the bills!) - I have been watching a lot of Mike Potter's Budget Model Railway videos at lunchtimes, which have filled my head with ideas for my pile of OO gauge track!
