Bit of a mixed bag today - starting with Dr Who figures:
Minotaur in the centre - Cyberman to the sides.
Added some lighter silver in places to give more contrast to the Cybermen. Also added a purple wash to the head. If not for the feet it's hard to tell which way a cyberman is facing. I think they are improved but still not entirely happy!
Haven't got the Minotaur's antlers quite right either - will have to think again.
Only the 5 Daleks left to finish the batch.
Two recent purchases - HaT 8054 Italian Ally Cavalry
HaT 8055 Spanish Cavalry
Neither of them are new issues but both are destined for long-term projects.
The Italians will be converted into Araucanian figures to fight the Spanish in Chile. I'm wading through "The Grand Araucanian Wars (1541-1883) in the Kingdom of Chile" by Eduardo Agustin Cruz. It's not an easy task as the translator hasn't done the author many favours - sometimes it flows but otherwise its Pidgeon English. Still I'm soldiering on (ouch!).
The Spanish are destined to be added to my Renaissance Arabs fighting in North Africa versus a Portuguese adventurer.
Thinking about the number of projects I have on the go - and not being in the flower of my youth - I will need to carry out a review to see what is really viable and what can go to the bring-and-buy. Don't want to go into 2013 with a huge pile of unfinished metal and plastic do I?
