Work in progress shots of the miniatures from A Fistful of Honey.

Roundin' up the cattle:


As planned, I've mounted the bears on 25mm round bases to increase their stability and give them a little more protection. Modelling putty was used to hide the original moulded bases, and then the base was covered in sand.

Next step is the undercoat, which I should be able to do tomorrow.

Once I can get the right sized bases, I'll be mounting the cattle on 40mm base in a similar fashion. Can't have them wandering off, now, can I?

In the dark shrouds of a long summer night,
The shades and forms of midnight shake off the last light of day,
And arise to dance an endless night away.
