More progress on Boxers and terrain to go with them this weekend. I've managed to finish off the bamboo stands, cherry trees and template dogs I started last week. I've also completed another 12 Boxers with melee weapons and 12 with firearms. Just basing to go on those which is a doddle and will get done through the week.
In total I have 10 cherry trees and 6 stands of bamboo but I've saved about 25% of the bamboo for inclusion on various other terrain items like gardens. The cherry trees seem pretty fragile and the blossom falls off quite readily but I can save it up and re-glue later I guess.
Next up painting-wise I think it will be some Kansu Braves and maybe the cannon. I need a break from painting so much variation. It takes a lot longer as you're constantly switching colours, cleaning up and checking you're not duplicating colour schemes too often. Something uniform will be a pleasant change!
Cheers,

Nice, I think hairspray works to stop the Cherry Blossom falling off. Obviously in liberal amounts...

Fabulous looking Boxers and terrain, Millsy!
ReplyDeleteWow, you've had a productive weekend! With regards to falling cherry blossom, I used a diluted PVA through a cheap pump spray and gave them a good dousing; this seems to have doe the trick nicely. Use some of the discarded blossom on the bases of the trees - it looks every so pretty! ;)
ReplyDeleteOf course the cherry blossom is falling, it's June! I'm just amazed it held on this long...

ReplyDeleteNice stuff- loose cherry blossoms could be stuck to the ground as well.
ReplyDeleteCracking stuff Milsy . Suggest buy the cheapest hard/strong hold hairspray you can find and hit the trees with that, it does the job ..
