Actually Ending The Start Of The Week (22)

So I got round to finishing last week's task. Starting at the beginning of the end. It makes sense to me. Under the circumstances.

This week is going to be about the Guards of Traitors Toll. Again. This should see the end of the plan. I have a half dozen knights to glue together to make the yellow team or some mercenaries. I might have to get some more if I am going to do the Baron's War force. For some reason I have ended up with another twenty two figures again. No real plan to it all. I'm just finishing off this part of the queue.

What I've finished is below. They are not bad but I am sure there are a few missing details.

I've been thinking about my daughter a lot today. I wonder about the future more now than ever. It was my best mate from school's birthday yesterday. He died back in 1990. Living, or rather dead, proof of what happens to someone riding a Suzuki bike into the back of a car. I don't want either end of that for her. In fairness I am pretty sure she will be fine.

Start Of The Week?

This really is a start of the week post. The day just got away from me. My plan for the week was pretty solid. Everything was ready to go. The minis were trimmed and are on textured bases and even primed. The only figures I have ready to go are the Trench Crusaders (I keep wanting to call it tench crusade, the war against the carp), the Soviets and the last of the Traitors Toll stuff. So it's looking like the way I am going.

I'm still finishing off last week's stuff. Again. But I am nearly done. Just a few bits and the skin. Finish the mini with a wash and a little titivation for the base.

So I ended up with less gladiators than I thought. I put one of the frames together. In my mind there were going to be about eighteen of them but I ended up with only eight and only four of them were actually gladiators. So this is not going to be a project. 

 

My plan to turn my daughter into a gamer took a massive step forward this week. I got both copies of Stuffed Fables. Ideal for the little one. Or do I hope. I have even bigger plans, but let's not get ahead of myself.

She decorates her hair with shoes and live yellow diamond shape buttercups daily. The computer mouse turned into a real grey mouse today. He collects the sounds of breaking glass inside tin cans. The sky was striped like a circus tent all day.
