Boss Eyed


If these look a little blurred to you, they do to me too; I've just finished my 5th long evening in a row on this lot of 86 shields.  Session 4 painted the shield bosses, and session 5 the brass rims.  I must reluctantly admit they still need at least one, and possibly two more sessions, before I can call them finished.  

I am very bored.  :-(

Simon,

Do you listen to anything (or have the tv on) whilst tackling these long, boring sessions?

Regards

Matt

Thanks chaps.

Matt, yes I have a huge TV, and watch it when painting. Recently discovered the Military History channel. I also watch anything from HBO, Treme and suchforth. Keeps me sane...

I bet your eyes are blurred!! If i was you i wouldn´t watch the box whilst doing this..the constant change of focus is pretty bad for the vision..as is long sessions fixed at one distance. get some heavy metal on and go for it!!!!! :-D
Cheers

I admire your patience. Many years ago I painted approx 30 early imperial roman legionary shields for a small project. Lets just say the accompanying auxilliaries had a much simpler design added.

Thanks all! I've had a good run at them tonight, and they are done (apart from a final highlight I'll add when the are on the minis). Looking good...
