MartinC Eve

Hi.

Hope you are all safe and well. Working from home is a pain in the backside isn't it. Hopefully all has settled down now and the University is in total lockdown (they've changed all the entry codes on the doors) and we have moved to a 4 day week with everybody being forced to take a enforced paid holiday for the next 4 Fridays. It's a tough life in tertiary education.

I've been on a buying spree, nothing else to spend the money on and suppliers are closing up for the lockdown rapidly. So I thought I'd start on one of the purchases that arrived on Wednesday





This is Eve, post apocalyptic sniper from the Bad Squiddo Ghosts of Gaia range. She is a nice figure and painted up easily. 



Cape is cool though. Odd to paint up SciFi figs in camo colours. She is a big 28mm scale figure and will find uses in Necromunder and the such like.

I bought the whole Ghosts of Gaia range and will paint them up when I don't feel like painting 15mm ancients, like tonight. 15mm Thracian light cavalry wasn't cutting it. I have a concern that I may run out of paint brushes.

Stay safe and wash your bloody hands you horrible lot, Eve will be watching. See you on the web chat thingy

  2. My, that was a quick start. Glad to see we're not in competition this time! Bad Squiddo produces some ace, inventive figures and your paint job certainly does this one justice. I'm keen to see what else you've got of these.
