Paint it or Punt it
Burrows and Badgers - First finished in 2021
I’ve spent the first two weeks of the year working on terrain but this weekend marked the first time painting minis. The original plan was to finish up the Imperial Assault goal from December but I’ll be honest, I got bored painting the AT-STs.Instead, while updating the spreadsheet for the last post, Burrows and Badgers got in my mind as something nice to start the year with.
Briefly started who knows how long ago - primed, base textures and then base fur colours.B&B minis are just a delight to paint. Simple and quick to block out without too much detail, it is just really satisfying to paint them. I decided to tackle something new for me, tartan. I know, I know… it’s embarassing that despite being Scottish and indeed being of one of the major historical clans, I’ve never tried painting tartan before. I couldn’t really get a good photo on my phone but I’m happy with the result. It was a very simple base and two colours for the check.
... it's a tail, get your mind out of the gutterI also realised as I finished up painting that I don’t have notes about my basing scheme for the other B&B minis that I did in the past. I used to be so carefree and had so much more faith in my memory.
Thankfully when I went into the RUB with my flocks in it, I found and unlabelled box of flock that I clearly made from other types… No idea what is in it but it is the right mix so fingers crossed there is enough to finish off all the remaining B&B minis! Don’t be like me kids, be organised and give your future self a break. Take notes.
First 4 miniatures of the year done.
