Where wolf’s ears are, wolf’s teeth are near! - Volsunga Saga
Boring Preparatory Work Also Known as Zen Time.
Hi everyone,
I only had time to do some preparatory work today, but at least I have everything ready to paint up for the weekend. I just have to choose what to paint.
The first work I did was to prime the giant and add sand and gravel to the bases of the giant and the warlord. When the sand and gravel dried I also primed these too.
Ready to paint up.
The next unit I worked on were the hearth guard. I cleaned them up, glued them to their bases, pinned the shields on and added sand and gravel to the bases. Then I primed them up.
The two models with axes were supposed to have spears, but I wanted all my hearth guard to have hand weapons. So I found two old Grenadier elven axes and I cut them up to look like Viking axes and glued them on.
These will be my third Hearthgurd unit.
While I had my prep groove on, I fixed a problem with two of my Viking women warriors. These two had different sized spears which really annoyed me. So I decided to correct the length.
The spears are closer to the same height.The last model I started to work on is the standard bearer. I don’t have anymore Vikings holding spears, so I took an old Citadel Norman model and an extra Viking model in order to convert them. I did not have time to do much, but I will do some more work over the weekend.
The body will be the Norman and the head of the Viking.
That’s all for this week. I will post again some time next week – probably Tuesday. Until then, stay safe and have fun.
Regards,
NR
