Let There Be Light

 Wargames Bingo and Viking Houses

16. Build and Paint a Scenery Kit 

(This may be the stock kit or with minor variations)

I have now finished putting together the Viking house and accessories, I expect the pots and bowls will continue to pop up as background items in lots of future pictures (already planning to use them with the halfling baggage train).  The kit went together very easily and has painted up quickly with a combination of washes and drybrushing. 

Whilst changing the kitchen, I have rescued a couple of fluorescent light fittings for painting and photography.  Primarily to see what effect it would have on my photos.

The fluorescent bulb seems to have taken the yellow out of the picture and make the blue a bit deeper.  I will continue to use the standard bulbs when I want a more yellow light such as a sunset or torchlight.

17. Paint a Model or Unit in a Colour Scheme You Don’t Normally Use

Given the whole challenge was to use six random paints to paint a random figure. Then I figure this covers using a paint scheme you don't normally use. Especially as I probably would have gone straight for an antique bronze  and golds. If I was painting this model using a free choice of paints. 

Wargames Bingo Progress

I continue to work through my wargames bingo card, but it is getting harder to complete the remaining squares. So I will now need to start a few projects especially to finish the last ones.
