I'll save the 2021 reflections and 2022 plans for next week...
Hummels!
The Hummels are finally done.
Getting these done was mostly a result of me restarting a playthrough of Factorio, which for me seems to still involves a little bit of letting the game run so gluing things to other things while it's running is helpful!
Generals!
I decided that I should test what I wanted to do with my Byzantine basing, trying to make it more colourful than the way they looked when I used them for IMPETVS. It's also helped me discover just how bad a paint job I did on these models. There are mistakes everywhere and even some raw metal - I must have done a particularly rubbish job of the priming!!
Using Gamers Grass Wildflowers has been on the list of things to try for a while and I really like the way it's come out. I've also decided to use heaps more green than I usually do and that's definitely helped as well.
And on a random note...
...I'm currently enjoying the audiobooks of Spike Milligan's World War II memoir, read by Milligan himself. His off-beam humour is even more delightful in his own voice (and impressions of his unit-mates) and the occasional stifled laugh at his own cleverness makes it even better to listen to. It remains one of my favourite recollections of the war - both the absurd humour of it alongside both the absolute and deeply personal tragedy of any conflict.
Next Time
Depends a bit on how what happens this week with Christmas on Saturday. I've made good progress on a couple of my limited palette models so might aim to finish those off and do some more work on the Byzantines after how pleased I am with the result of the basing on the generals.
Happy Holidays to you all!
