Problems updating on this blog

Hi all,

I am experiencing a problem of getting into my blogs to update with new postings. I think it is due to some technical issue which many other bloggers are also facing, perhaps due to specific web browsers? I normally use a standard laptop where most of my pics are and update on Googlechrome.

I am able to update briefly now because I am using an IPad and am on Safari browser.

In the event that I am unable to further update on this blog, I will just create a new blog with a similar sounding name 'Defining A Zinnfiguren Collection  The Next Chapter'.

So see you all soon.

I have re-selected this piece for further painting.

The Sacre 2

I continue to sift through the many sets awaiting completion. These are some of the remaining figures to be painted. For the Sacre, I am painting two sets in parallel.

Ulundi

Starting to work more on this piece. Glorious Empires have a painted example on their website which clarifies some details on this piece.

Getting back into the zinn of things 2

I started to doodle on some of the figures, just to get back into the swing of painting these zinnfiguren.

 Mostly dark browns and washes added.

I added some shadows and highlights to the two zulus on the left.

Getting back in the zinn of things

Its been a while since I was active on this blog, spending most of the time and effort on ronde-bosse figures.

I took out a box marked miscellaneous and came across these three items.

Putting all the dioramas together

Recently, I have purchased a track and plug system which gives some flexibility in placing the plugs anywhere along the electrical track. This is a neat solution to an otherwise various extension cords solution. The track system is fitted horizontally and hidden behind the sofa. All the wires drop vertically.

I will be installing more of these track and plug systems on other walls. I want the flexibility to move my lighted dioramas around the house. I expect to do more of these dioramas to create thematic displays.
