Update from the Painting Desk

 A bit of a mixed bag tonight - the first figures were finished off over the long weekend, but the majority of them have been sitting waiting to be photographed for several weeks

So - first up - 10mm EIR Romans - Auxilia infantry, to be precise

Three units in total have been completed - the last stand of the red unit were based yesterday

The blue auxilia

The red auxilia

The white auxilia

For some reason, there was an extra base, so the white auxilia got them!

Here are the first three of the 28mm 3d prints from local supplier Pot Belly Miniatures

I thought they seemed "chunky", but a comparison with other 28mm plastic Russian figures indicated they are about average - L-R Pot Belly, Warlord, Plastic Soldier Company, Pot Belly, Wargames Factory and JJG 3d print of a female soldier.

Also completed over the long weekend was the second Pot Belly T34/85, seen below in both natural (garden) light and on the painting desk

Talking of natural light and the garden, here are a couple of pics of the day that greeted us on the first day of winter, 1 June - not too shabby, although relatively cool, by our sub-tropical standards

And finally - I have done the deed and ordered a small sample of 3d printed scenery from Temu! Unfortunately, although there are dozens of options, they seem to basically be almost all the same, or very similar - and 90% are DnD - so I got the ones I thought might work ok for the ruins of Berlin or other German cities - after all Gothic architecture is popular in DnD - but it also actually exists in the real world - so these ruins of cathedrals etc could be the ruin of an ACTUAL German cathedral (or a Russian one, at a push)!

I will update when they arrive - ordered yesterday, I already have a tracking number - and if they take more than 9 days to get here, I will get $5 off!
