I wouldn't normally say that, but it's true for this year at least. We got hammered by one of the worst winters in Michigan in the last 30 years. I can't remember snow and cold like that since I was a child living up north in Michigan. Any ways that explains my statement. I am sooo freaking happy that it's bloody finally warm!
So I've been busy in the garden and doing honey do things, but I have had a chance to put some more paint on 12 Hoplites and as I mentioned before I decided to mount the bodies (Victrix 28mm Models) and leave the other bits on the sprue. This is what I used to do when I built models way back when, and it's helping facilitate detail work in what would have been hard to reach spots. Able to get to that trim work on the leather armor much better without all the bits in the way. I will have to do a little filing and touch up work on the bits I cut off the sprue after I am done painting them, but that will be a breeze. So far I am very pleased with the results I am getting. I should be able to put up some pics in another week or so. Why that long you may ask? Well it's because it's SUMMER TIME! Yes indeed, getting outside and cycling, drinking beer, cycling some more, gardening, honey do lists, etc. etc. So you get the point. Because it's not Winter I am not trapped in my man cave;)
Until next time, cheers
