Yesterday I started late in the studio. This flu is lingering still refusing to play fair. Did COVID tests to be sure, of course. No COVID. Started mid-afternoon and kept at it till tea time. Finished off the Servants of Ra hopefully leaving them in a slightly better state of display than before. Worked too much on the mummy before realising this and stopping myself. I can always return to its finer detailing at another time. Worked also on the bases: darkened the ground with wash and then a mix of paint for highlighting, and repainted the base sides. Have to remember to seal the finished pieces so prevent bits falling off, paint flaking, grubby fingers wearing away from constant handling, etc.
With this second group done, I then made a start on The Black Dragon Tong. Have to say this group seems much easier to paint than the previous company. All that's required is a bit of paint touch up and the bases finished off.
Worked on skin tone and clothing detail. Noticed that several had Chinese "lettering" (their identity?) either on the front of their jackets or emblazoned large on the back. In the process of working on Madam with wash I inadvertently erased the black dragon from her fan. Not a problem. Hope to finish this later on today and then move on to Scotland Yard.
Cheers.
