Painted a (very) little more of my Bolt Action Partisans.
Still some way to go…

Painting the Stompa
I spent a little more time painting my Stompa. In the main I used Citadel Base: Mephiston Red.
Here are the feet.
I think if I am ever going to have a game with this model, I need to paint quicker, and more often.
Honoured Imperium Statue and Ruins
These have been in storage for a while now, it was back in 2011 that I gave the models a basecoat of Humbrol Sea Grey spray paint. I had earlier, drybrushed the Broken Aquila, and then used the same technique on the Space Marine Statue and ruins.
These are the ruins.
As I mentioned in my previous post on the Broken Aquila, I was originally going to keep the whole model grey, but I am now thinking I might add more scenic and foliage and rather than have it as a recentl ruin, have it as one that was left some time ago and nature has over time grown around it. The Imperium has been around for ages and so it still fits the fluff. The statue certainly looks like it is aged rather than damaged as part of a recent battle.
Pitching the Roof
I had mentioned in a previous blog post that I was thinking about painting my Sarissa Precision buildings for the Old West. I took the plunge and painted the flat roof of the store.
I used a Citadel grey to paint the roof to represent that it had been pitched with tar and then faded in the sun. Black paint would have been too dark.
You can see in this image how it looked before I painted the roof.
The downside of this kind of painting I think will be that it will obscure the laser etching of the roof tiles on my other Sarissa Precision building.
Ork Stompa Head
Trying to make a determined effort to get my Ork Stompa finished, started to paint more of the head.
Still some way to go.
Painting more Old West Gunfighters
I have been painting more of my Foundry gunfighters to get more of them finished for a future game of Old West. In the main I have been using Citdeal and Vallejo paints, using browns and the odd green. I need to get some blue for jeans though.
So far I have only finished Emmet Gates, but hope to get most of them finished soon.
Camouflaging the 15mm German Tiger II – Königstiger
After painting the basecoat on my old SDD 15mm German Tiger II (Königstiger) I started to paint the camouflage.
I used Chocolate Brown (872) from the Flames of War German Armour Paint Set.
Though following the painting guidelines from the German Armour paint set, I think the brown is too brown and needs to be more red.
Basing the Cybermen
These are the Harlequin Miniatures Cybermen from the 1990s. They are the classic era style Cybermen who fought the 4th Doctor onwards. Having finished painting them, the next stage was doing the bases.
I started with a basecoat of Citadel Base: Castellan Green.
I then used some railway flock, combined with a tiny amount of Woodland Scenics foliage.
I finished the bases off with some Citadel Mordheim Turf.
Here are the three Cybermen.
I think I would like some more, as I am not sure if three are enough.
Egyptian Sarcophagus
Having given the resin Egyptian Sarcophagus from Grendel a basecoat of Citadel Base: Zandri Dust, I gave the model a wash of Citadel Shade: Agrax Earthshade. This has really bought out the detail, however there are areas where there was a little too much shade and it has pooled.
This needed a few extra washes to ensure full coverage.
The 3rd Doctor
Back in the 1990s Harlequin Miniatures produced a licensed range of 28mm metal miniatures and one of the blisters I got was of the third Doctor. After affixing him to his base, I gave the model a white undercoat using Citadel Skull White Spray. I then added some green stuff to his base to fill the gaps. I also painted his face and hands using Citadel Elf Flesh.
I now need to check some source material before I start painting the velvet jacket.
