What are you working on....?

I'm still plugging away at my technicals and armoured vehicles and those fiddly little projects mounting weapons and crew on/in vehicles. Awaiting a PP parcel to mount a ZPU-4 on my spare QRF tracked chassis and more support weapons and crews for the troops. I need more bases I've been so busy it would appear.
I'm trialling a new process - getting figures 3/4 complete then basing before finishing off 'in situ'. No point in highlighting bits no-one will see eh?
The plan is to finish all my Govt. forces before Christmas

Off to Modelbouw Krikke again this afternoon to see if I can pick up a more user friendly plastic spatula for applying basing material. The metal one is ok, but a bit fiddly getting between figures bases. At least I very quickly surmised that putting reusable tufts back on new bases before applying basing material was probably as stupid as giving the richest in society a massive tax break.

I use my blunted scalpel blades as mini spatulas for applying basing material... the curved No.10 does most jobs and the triangular 10A is good for getting into those important little places...

I use a wooden lollipop stick to dump the basing material onto the base, and then move it around with a cocktail stick.
