Adobes (again) and more

In a week where I had only three sessions to get anything done hobby-wise I put in two five or six hour sessions to complete the painting of my remaining four small adobe buildings.
I painted them using the same process as the first one, save for the not using the very watery 'highlight'  of yellowy-white and reverting to Magnolia, from a quick visit to Wilkos. I've been using tester pots of paint from Wilko's for a lot of my recent paint jobs. It's cheap, acrylic, thins well with council thinner and has great coverage (Imo anyway).
With three layers of paint and a large surface area, these took a long time to paint !

The step-up to the roof acts as the lifting tab

The generic batch of doors were all individually cut to fit

Carpet and large bowl of olives (roof 'handle')still need to be glued down

'Camelport house'

The 'camleport' house had the central roof support removed to allow easier paintbrush access to the interior and still requires gluing in place and painting ! The roof step allows for easy roof removal.
I intend to add a few more details and colour to these otherwise drab buildings. Larger buildings I intend to make a a lot less dour-looking (though I'm not completely sure how yet !).

Whilst waiting for paint to dry and daylight to return I managed to get more pots underway

More beads and more work to do on them, BBQ skewers help!

Taking advantage of a a break in the weather I undercoated the civilians shown last week, having already based them up (in a break from painting buildings).
The figures are based to match the rest of the Sudan stuff, 20mm square, thinnish card, covered in filler (Poundland's - of course),  pva and sprinkling of sand  - after the filler has completely dried !

Salesmen (I do love their almost cartoony appearance)

The chap presenting the ladies' "unmentionables" is obviously my favourite and...

...now we know what this bevvy of beauties wear underneath their robes !

As an afterthought (and padding for this very thin post - ED.) here are some finished British gunners that somehow were omitted from previous figure posts !

Late gun crews to the left, earlier to the right. Figures mostly OG with a few Redoubt (Top right)

And that's it then for another week where time was at a premium and will unfortunately be again this week as on Friday I will be out of action all day with some serious eye-drops, from yet another clinic visit  (the first of several varied hospital/clinic visits for November) .

Thanks for taking the time to visit, I hope you've found something of interest and as always your comments are both welcomed and appreciated.
