The Musketeer miniatures got finished off.
The hybrid Cooplestone/GWM mortar was finished off as was an HMG.
A 1st Corps building that got spackle was repaired, and the a/c s also got painted.
Weather nopt good for paint to dry off.
Still made good progress with the second mortar and crew; the second HMG and crew and the remans of what I need to do for Saturday.

I painted the first o0f the 1st Corps buildings, just as the second batch arrived in the post.
Just to check my sanity, I double checked how wood ages and its colours:
Looks a good match. I used Foundry Granite Shade and Bay Brown Shade, washed with Citadel Biel-Tan green wash and then did a strong drybrush of Foundry Granite light.
For the logs in the porch, I used Foundry Dark Leather, with a Boneyard drybrush.
The three pieces.
The shutters are painted green and then weathered, doesn’t show so well in the photo.
And I had a go at the interior – my sources confirmed my hunch that it would have a whitewashed interior.
I didn’t spend much time on the interior, as these buildings are being painted for a Big Game w/e after next, but they are very crisp and the detail is as good on the interior as on the exterior.

I bought a certain armoured car last week that had been advertised on TMP from 1st Corps, a subsequent visit to their web store and I stumbled on their scenery which I’d not seen advertised previously.
So with the upcoming RCW/Bo Big Game, I thought I’d nab them quickly. They arrived today. A house with porch and shingle roof, and a second house with thatched roof.
Outhouse, well and store house – always useful as clutter on the battlefield. The well also comes with a dinky little bucket. This would be a very useful objective in games set in arid/semi-arid areas.
The castings are niceand crisp with minimal flash.
They come as multiple piece castings.
Good internal details and believably thick walls.
1st Corps have now brought out (this week) a few more buildings
