Worked for 5 hours last night. I was actually planning to pull an all-nighter, but work progressed so well I decided to call it a night instead. And quite frankly I needed to sleep. Trying to watch some more Gundam ZZ just caused me pull some ZZZ's... Three Axis Gaza-D's were destroyed but I have no clear recollection how that actually happened.

The first platoon basing went smoothly. I adjusted my basing process and now it's working pretty nicely. The key is not glueing in all the figures at the same time. I'll probably write a short tutorial on that when I have a little bit of time.

I also managed to get the other two platoons all the way to varnish stage, so I'll be basing them next. Doing the basing I realized one thing: the basing process is actually rather slow due to all the drying times involved. I leave the varnish to dry overnight, then I leave the basing compound to dry overnight, then I might leave the base wash to dry overnight... you get the picture.

Not really a problem at this stage, but something to keep in mind as the deadline approaches. It would probably be prudent to prepare a Plan B just in case...

I really like the Vallejo basing compounds, but they do take a long time to dry.

Next I should be getting around to the Mexicans and Apaches and I should also start prepping the next batch of 15mm troopers. I think it's time the Tan army got some reinforcements.

Figures remaining: 381

Total pledges: 30 GBP Red Cross Ebola Campaign
