I have watched your 2016 parade of 28mm Napoleonics and thought that you paint both swiftly and beautifully.<br /><br />Well done!<br /><br />On painting philosophy, I am in complete agreement with you. Painting a little each day can produce large volumes of figures. I can turn out a goodly sum of figures with only an hour spent at the painting desk most days. Of cours, a two or three hour session on a weekend helps too.

I agree with you that painting in large batches boost productivity, as does painting regularly.

I think I managed only four hundred last year, but that was around moving house and a few other non-wargaming pursuits. <br /><br />I like to estimate how many colours, including shades and any washes that need to be applied, (for most Napoleonics I have found it to be between twenty-four to twenty-seven), take a batch of twenty to thirty figures, and lay down the base sixteen or seventeen colours across them all. From there I prefer to complete them in lots of three to six, as I find I can concentrate better in terms of tidying up any mistakes and concentrate better on the details I want to bring out.<br /><br />I much prefer painting in the morning myself, and find it relaxes me before the start of a working day. Mind you, the sun comes up at 4:30am in Brisbane during summer, and there is bugger-all else to do at that time of the day anyway.Lawrence Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11626386564817082992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4809892888059311958.post-17544945574187849552017-01-07T21:40:50.046+13:002017-01-07T21:40:50.046+13:00Mark, congratulations on a great output.

You have to break the task down into steps and complete them in a logical sequence. I am driven by targets (usually to finish armies for use in our annual wargames weekend) and try to paint for two or three hours a night - this is my way of relaxing after the stresses of the work day. I usually only work on six foot or three mounted figures at a time. Using this approach I completed a little over 1,800 figures last year.Mark Strachanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05988775093525037168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4809892888059311958.post-149985896417283772017-01-07T20:53:29.070+13:002017-01-07T20:53:29.070+13:00Ive got too many Household chores as a Parent so ...Ive got too many Household chores as a Parent so I only got through 300 in my first year .
