Painted in June

Fairly poor showing and an obviously mixed bag where I was unable to focus on anything. This doesn't include a couple of dozen more figures partially done that I haven't worked up the umpph to finish.

Left to right Brigade (?) plastic toy, Warlord P&S sniper, Warlord Count Tilly, Foundry extra, Musketeer IWI.

I swapped Count Tilly's bible for a plastic sword hand from the Warlord cavalry.

The plastic cow is from the old wagon full of toys at Finnegans with horns made from brass rod and green stuff.

OK, these two don't go together but they are emblematic of my just trying to finish something - they were done because they were simple and easy.

Cactus Field

For the summer old west games seem natural so I have been repairing some of the buildings and even found time to add some new terrain. Here is my test piece for some cactus fields.

CD base covered in a sandstone grout, drybrushed, and then tufts and some burrs added. Simple and fast!

Of course the lowly prickly pear lacks the majesty of some other cacti, but a dense field (and I need to make the next couple of bases with much denser cacti) will definetly slow a person down.
