The Barons' War
Progress Update 12-27-2024
Holidays are rarely ever a vacation. I’m off work, sure, but there are still a lot of family events to enjoy. That resulted in my project not getting as far as I’d have liked. I did have forward progress though.
This week I built a mounted knight, a foot knight with sword, three archers, and two spear men. That will finish off the archer and foot knight with sword units.
The mounted knight is going to be my Baron and I wanted to take his preparation further. The Victrix mounted knights have a large seam down the middle off them and that just didn’t seem appropriate for a leader.
In the past I’ve tried to fill this gap with green stuff and made a mess of it. This time I tried something different.
First, I laid down a heavy line of ultra thin liquid plastic cement and squeezed the two halves of the horse together tightly. After that had dried, I repeated the process twice more.
Second, I took my #240 sandpaper to the seam and really had at it. I’d let the plastic dust rest in it without brushing it off.
Third, I repeated my first step again and noticed the seam was disappearing.
Finally, I took the seam through more sanding #240, #400, #600, and finally #800. I think the results are there!
