Birthday mini haul. Low level of gaming items but much adjacency. Plus much booze too

Getting the paint tray ready for Walloon Guards. Need to test a palette for the Royal Blue (reference artists vary a lot on this !). Could ask @countbelisarius.bsky.social, but needs a decision this decade Also, testing for silver braid. I may just go with greys as nmm. 🤔

Four in a row.

Cuff buttons replaced. Crisis over.

Priming a figure is a great process to immediately reveal all the tasks that should have been done pre-priming. In this case, adding the missing cuff buttons. On 62 figures 🤬

New day, new (or rather, resurrected) project

It's a good job I bought a new pot of Agrax last week - otherwise, I would have had to open one of the two spare bottles I had at the back of my paint drawer..... 😬
