Fooling with Fotor. . .

 

A cropped close-up of a previous shot shared here several days back.  Not perfect painting by any stretch, but good wargaming quality figures with some added tiny details.

A sunny, hot Sunday here in The Grand Duchy.  The Grand Duchess and Young Master have headed off somewhere in the car, so yours truly is left with a good chunk of unstructured quiet time in which to paint and write (hobby-related stuff).  

Before that, I've messed a bit more with the new Fotor photo editing and graphic design subscription to experiment a both with cropping and close-ups.  The application seems to do very nicely adjusting the raw images as you go along.  

And, of course, highlighting not only your painting successes, but also the minute flubs and gaffs with the brush that you never notice at the time, but spot in an instant when looking at later photos.  Ah, well.  Being a slave to perfectionism means nothing ever gets done.  

En masse, the figures will look fine once glossed, based, and arrayed in formation on the tabletop.  

Speaking of which, a morale related though occurred to me as I drifted off to sleep late Saturday night.  Since the Schaumburg-Lippe Infantry are from a minor power, I'm thinking 'D Class' for morale purposes if we take average line troops of the major powers as 'C Class.'  

Sound about right?  What do you think?  I promise that no tables of figures and terrain will be tipped over in angry difference of opinion during this discussion.

But now it's almost Noon here.  Ttime to dress, make the bed, pour another mug of coffee, and settle in for some brushwork at the painting table before later writing.  Happy Sunday wherever you are in the world, everyone.

P.S.

I cannot decide if the title of today's post sounds like it ought to have been the title of a Just William story by Richmal Crompton, or some weekly write-in musical request show on the old BBC Light Program from decades ago.
