Nine hours painting





Well it's boxing day and the family wants to blob out and do nothing so i took the opportunity to go mad and hit the brushes I got up at 7.30am and started painting and other than a short break for lunch and a quick trip to the store  i didn't stop until 5.45pm that's around nine hours straight I'm painting around 100 Romans, the saddest thing is even after nine hours i still have more to do. I have last coat of white,gold to paint and then the detail for all the shields i have 21 figures that i completed on the first batch so hopefully i'll have about 130 figures ready to base sometime this week, as long as the wife stays happy.

    Wow they're looking GREAT! That's fantastic progress in one day. I couldn't even do that many 15mm figures in that much time.
