Phase 5 - Restoring the Miniatures
The miniatures that I had removed earlier were carefully washed in warm soapy water. Unfortunately there are a number that will need total repainting whilst for some there actually appears to have been metal fatigue - NB these are all lead from the 1980s/1990s so I suspect the temperature variations and some corrosion has damaged some of the miniatures. It means that I’m not going to put back some miniatures, but for all the others I’m going to do a sympathetic touch up using washes and repaint those miniatures I feel integral to the story unfolding on the bridge. 
First up to the painting turntable in the Grenadier Dragon Lords Iron Dragon. There is deterioration to the tail, so the nearest match is GW Tin Bitz followed by a wash of Reikland Fleshshade. The baggage was refreshed with Thaka Green, Casandora Yellow, Carroburg Crimson, and Drakenhof Nightshade. The rocky base was refreshed with Declan Mud Wash.
