Dan Vadas reacted to Roger Pellett in Painted Military Figures
8+1 pipers piping. A friend of mine gave me a pipe band to paint- 8 pipers, 7 drummers, and one drum major. These 30mm figures are smaller than the 54 mm figures that I usually paint, and Scotch Highland garb is hard to paint, so I decided to paint the pipers first. The drummers have the typical British guards uniforms.
Here is the result. The 9th piper (with the green tunic) Was professionally painted. I bought it in London years ago.
The Fusilere with the bearskin head gear is 54mm, what I would prefer to paint. The drummers will have to wait awhile.

Stunning work in a medium I’m unfamiliar working with.
A masterful job in every way.

And finally (for now) three wagons to go behind the loco :
I have also built a small truck to go on the dock, but no pics of it yet.
Basically all that needs doing is about 100 boxes and drums, the barges and a few more vehicles, and fitting all assemblies to the base. This might be grandson Khye's first project.

The locomotive. Not quite as detailed as the Bulgar I built earlier, but after all it IS 1/10 of the size :

The four ship's boats and a deadeye for one of the masts. The "lashing" is 0.3mm black wire :
The mostly completed freighter. One of the cranes will be glued on when a length for the cable can be established :

Just for fun I thought I'd make a few of the various types of boxes and drums to see how much was involved - not too bad considering the drums are only 4 mm high :
The hull of the freighter, a waterline model of course :
The decks and hatches are fitted next :
Followed by the superstructures :

Terrific work, as usual, Danny. I'm sorry that you are having difficulty continuing. If you can't complete this model, I hope you know someone who can and do both the model and you justice.

Hi all,
This is definitely my last model, and it will have to remain unfinished due to my health issues. However I did manage to get a long way into it before the eyes and body gave up on me, so I do have a lot of pics I can share with you. I'll have to keep the text down to a minimum I'm afraid.
Ir's a Card (surprise surprise ) diorama of the Hamburg docks circa late 1930's complete with a freighter in dock. The kit was published by HMV, and is quite complex. Printing and instructions were very good.
Here's a pic of the cover art :
Work starts with the dock, sea and warehouse :
