Anne Boleyn, Work in Progress 1

November has been very busy for work reasons, and it looks as though it's going to stay that way for the foreseeable.  I haven't done as much painting as I would have liked, but I have unpacked the Airfix 1/12 scale Anne Boleyn and basecoated with Testor's Dullcote:

Not too many pieces, and some of the details are going to be quite challenging.  I learned from experience with Beth's Stuka that relatively large expanses of Airfix plastic don't always take acrylics very well, which is why I used Dullcote.

The box is the original 70s item...

...complete with original sheet of instructions.  And just to prove how old it is:

A small advertisement that was still in the box.  This poorer quality paper hasn't lasted quite so well!

Slingers

Your average manky, scuddy scum slingers, made up from the Wargames Factory Numidian infantry set:

They might be scum, but they're our scum!  I'll use these as psiloi at Plataea.  They'll do for just about any scruffy slingers in most periods anyway...

Welcome to Remco

I've just noticed that Remco from the East Netherlands has joined, so I've reciprocated at his blog here.  He has the hard to find Asterix miniatures set, do go and have a look.  I first saw these over twenty years ago, and I should have bought them then.
