Will's Wargames Blog: On the Workbench

On the Workbench - April 2020

Usually I would be away for one or two weeks in April, but obviously this year I can't. So there will be more time available to paint/model than usual. But I'll try and create a bit of variety to avoid getting bored with painting Persians, there is also quite a bit left over from March, but I started more than I planned.

4 units of 16 Persian Kardakes - stalled as I can't find any suitable decals for the shields
3 units of 16 Persian archers - well underway
6 units of 6 Persian medium cavalry - well underway
2 x Russian T26 tanks - just started
2 Napoleonic Bavarian limbers
1 Napoleonic Wurttemberg limber
2 units of 28 Russian Soldatski
Start work on some terrain - as the weather is warming up I can work in the garage while "Tidying it up"
Then work on more Persians

keep safe

Trebian said...: I've got a few of those. I just doodled on the shields in gold and white paint in the end, I think.

I'd say you have two options:

1) Finish them with plain shields and then when you find some transfers apply them then.

2) Finish them with a painted design, then when you find transfers just over paint the shield and apply the transfer.; 2/4/20 11:16
