Made decent progress today. Reached my goal of finishing up the shield trim, sword blades, and spear points. I also did the wood bows and spear shafts. Finally, I got a start on the Bright Bronze details, including the hilts of the swords wielded by the swordsmen. I still have to do the hilts on the other models as well as details on the scabbards. Getting that done will be tomorrow's goal.
Made some good progress today thanks to being able to sit down for a couple of painting sessions instead of my usual single session. My first session finished up my goal of getting the armor skirts painted, plus started on the leg greaves. Second session finished the greaves, as well as doing some of the shield trim. Tomorrow's goal is to finish up most of the chainmail silver painting by finishing the shield trim and doing the spear points and sword blades. I'll eventually have to come back to chainmail to do the trees on the shields, but I'm saving that for the last step before doing the wash.
Achieved the goal I set for myself of completing the armor on the right and left arms, but didn't get any more than that done. Tomorrow's goal is to do the metal skirts on the front of the models.
Again, not more than two hours spent today (probably closer to one, but I didn't time it), but reached my goal and went a little further. Blocked out the chest plates and did a first coat on the right arm armor. I'm finding that I usually need two coats of the metallic paint to get good coverage. Goal for tomorrow is to finish up the right arms and do the left arms as well.
I was able to spend less than two hours on miniatures today, but I managed to get the faces and helmets blocked in on all 23 remaining figures, so that's a start. The plan for tomorrow is to get the breastplates done. I'm going for relatively small goals on this with the intention of keeping progress going forward. If I exceed the goals, so much the better.
