Grinding Forward

Posted on 5/17/2010 by Coyote

Motivation failing. Want to paint Flames of War. Now, more than ever, I am feeling the drag of dedicating myself to a single project. Even I’m losing interest in posting yet another image of partially painted Brits. Tonight I had … Continue reading →

Still Plugging Away

Posted on 4/29/2010 by Coyote

Do not fear, I am still working on my 1812 project. I got hung up on the details of the last two and went too dark on the crossbelts. I need to simplify. As it is the lace, crossbelts and … Continue reading →

In Praise of Rory Muir

Posted on 4/19/2010 by Coyote

Relatively, I am new to historical wargaming. Within this milieu I am inexperienced with Napoleonic warfare but am working actively to expand my knowledge. I have now read a number of books focusing on the War of 1812 and a … Continue reading →

The Big Picture

Posted on 4/6/2010 by Coyote

Oh, how I wish I was one of those people that can keep all the facts together in their head and see the big picture. I’m painting some more Incorporated Militia and realized that I can’t wildly vary the pant … Continue reading →

The First Levy of Militia is Raised

Posted on 4/3/2010 by Coyote

While there is room for improvement I am very happy with these miniatures. If these are the worst results I achieve in my entire 1812 project I will be very, very happy. I have a couple more miniatures primed and … Continue reading →

I’m Painting Right Now

Posted on 3/30/2010 by Coyote

Another few nights of painting left. I’ve run out of podcasts to listen to so I brought my laptop into my workroom. I’m listening to audio commentary on Star Wars IV. I love listening to commentary while I paint. I’m … Continue reading →

I Love Painting These Guys

Posted on 3/28/2010 by Coyote

Every free second I’ve had this weekend I’ve wanted to paint these Victrix figures. The anticipation of painting them helped me power through the last of my WWII Canadians. Now that I’m actually painting them I find that I am … Continue reading →

Setbacks, or Do your Research

Posted on 3/25/2010 by Coyote

Ho-hum. I’ve picked up the pace of assembly on my Victrix miniatures. This is partly because I’m getting used to the figures, and partly because I’m not trying to kill every single mold line. I was going over every millimeter … Continue reading →

Some Inspiration

Posted on 3/23/2010 by Coyote

After the hockey game I spent some time assembling Victrix Brits in my workroom. It’s a bit of a hard slog, 52 miniatures is a lot. I’m trying to get the hang of the process. It’s been a while since … Continue reading →
