Paint it or Punt it
Osgiliath part 1
I have been having real problems with this post for some reason but it looks like the problem has been Firefox related. Switched browsers and all seems to be okay now
Next bit of actual painting (or at least prep for it!) instead of just organising and the first box on the Hobby Bingo (Start a Battle Company). I hit up the Edinburgh chat to see if anyone is interested in having a Battle Companies campaign and got enough people in to make it worth while reading the book finally ?
My MESBG collection was inflated last year by a steal off eBay. I picked up 125 Gondor models for £40. There are 31 in a broken state that I’ll need to go back through at some point and see what can be repaired or what is getting put into the bits box. There are a couple of heroes, and 5 of metal rangers but the rest are basic warriors. Everything has some level of paint on it but I’d like to strip them all and start over. They seemed like an obvious pick for the new battle company – Osgiliath starts with two warriors with shield and spear, two with shield and sword and two rangers. I decided to strip some extras of each as well as some archers as they are a potential reinforcement.
Rangers
Warriors with sword or bow
Warriors with spear
Ready for their 24 hour Dettol bath - I was concerned about them being such old plastics and bathing them for too long
Toolstation's cheap primer - works really nicely in most conditions including cold, damp Scottish evenings in January
Ready for the next stage
I find uploading 3 photos at a time and then edit and add extra photos as needed.
Dettol and plastics should be grand. I use it on ancient plastics with not issues
Yeah, it just isn’t working for me Gerry. Think it might be a Firefox thing though – I also can’t reply to comments. I’ve resorted to Edge (!) to reply to you.
That’s good to know, it’s been a while since I stripped any models… there’s plenty more where these came from
