(Not Quite) Finishing the LDV

Well, I didn't get the Resistance figures finished in time for last VWC. Maybe two weeks down the line then. Part of the problem is that I keep finding parts I missed (taking photos is really good for this) and so completion feels like it's slipping further away. But one step at a time...

I did find an interesting Youtube video that made me think about my scattershot way of doing things:

So I tried (and failed) to focus on these guys. Here's where I am at present, with the rifles and SMGs painted with Sir Coates Silver. This is a Duncan Rhodes paint, and I am painting quite a bit to the accompaniment of his painting videos.

Since, I've done spot colors on things like scarves, bottles and blankets. Scarves, bottles and a pair of glasses in green, socks and blanket in red (I intended to try stripes or a plaid pattern on these, but it didn't work).

Last "base colors" are the hair.  Finally, touch-up. Which I simply haven't got to, partly because I find it frustrating. Photography makes it worse, because pictures are really good for picking up mistakes! At this point, I may just base them and have done; a "dirty" look is less obvious from tabletop height anyway.

Have also done a few more Paperboys, this time for work: 

Ran an early version of The Portable Wargame at work.
Some Patriots, faced by 1812 British I already had, and 
guns and dragoons from the '45 set.

Peter Dennis has most recently put out a very nice
set of "tidelines" with driftwood, stones and even a 
sea turtle for decoration. I put a few out in the children's
area for what I think of as a "guerrilla craft."

I'll be working at a local convention this Friday, and have printed off some Fantasy sheets for a bit more crafting. We'll see how it goes.

Finally, again a bit late, here's the conclusion-video to the club Saipan game:
