Leven Miniatures do a great range of 6mm stuff, generally very well detailed and at an excellent price:

Always my first stop for new buildings west of India.

Looks like I will be ordering from Leven, their English church and various buildings from their Medieval range
My wish list has crept up to 14 buildings

Test hedge soaked in diluted PVA

[paulr]

A couple of minor touch ups on the current batch earlier this evening

Bases labeled

Current batch washed

Sorted out the next batch; 3 units of Dragoons and 6 Field guns

  ......You ARE getting quicker & quicker, Paul. Stroll on.

Cheers - Phil

I find I do get quicker as I get more familiar with the figures
There are no more "what is that" moments with bits of detail, the ECW standard bearer's sash is a good example of that. Obvious once you see it but confusing until then
I also get to know the 'best' way to paint particular bits, angle the figure that way and the brush this way...

I've done the final dry brush and painted the figure bases on the current batch
They should be dry enough to base this evening

The PVA on my test hedge looks to have soaked in and is slowly drying
Needs some highlights, flock and varnish

[paulr]

Based the current batch
Weather is not looking promising for varnishing for the next week

PVA is probably dry on my test hedge and it is definitely more robust, thanks ML:)
Will highlight tomorrow when I'm sure it will be fully dry

Prepared the next batch; 3 units of Dragoons and 6 Field guns
The figures will be going on the painting rods shortly

Bl8mey, and I thought I was busy

Weather was better than forecast so I managed to get the the next batch undercoated

Touched up flock on the current batch

Also flocked my trial hedge

Then distracted by a friends birthday party

[Techno]

It's strange.....Whenever Paul mentions that HIS weather is getting better.....It reminds me that in the Northern Hemisphere....Our weather is just going to get worse and worse.

Don't talk to me about the weather    I have been soaked every day this week on my commute in to Auckland

Cheers
Grumpy and damp

[Techno]

At least you know it's going to get better, Ian.  .......Until it's our turn again.

Did churchyards in England during the ECW include graveyards and did they have gravestones (similar to those provided by Perfect Six)

[d_Guy]

Hi Paul,
Graveyards as consecrated ground associated with a church have been around for several centuries. The use of upright gravestones (I just looked at perfect Six) I don't think came into common use until the mid to late 17th c. The PS set strikes me as 19th c gothic.
Maybe one of our English friends could go look at some
