Evening all - I wanted a change so I have decided to give this some more of my time - firstly I have decided to work on my part metal part plastic figure/s of Marshall Ney and his steed, like I said this is a mixed build as the figure of him is in metal (I purchased him second hand that way all ready painted) - I am painting over him in more accurate colours, the horse is from my stock and is a Perry plastic one, the horse like my others are Two part bodies with separate heads - these needed a small amount of clean up then glued together, after I gave the horse a couple of coats of mixed vallejo acrylic primer with mig extra flat acrylic top coat - to give the surface a good base and be a little harder wearing for the other paint layers. So here is the current stage - Ney is just sat on his horse just for show. Its good to be back. OC.

Fantastic astro shots mate - and Warspite is coming along nicely also, one astro photographer once told me - once you get hooked into it in a big way - you will have no money left, he showed me his rig Big Telescopes on mounts connected to laptops all outside in speacial made hides. OC.

I think (holding my hands up) I may have been mistaken with Peter Halls work and Pontos, I think he has done other work with aircraft PE sets as well as ships. My apologies Greg.😬 OC.

He does seem to be the "Dogs do da's" where modeling is concerned Peter Hall - all that Photo etch he designs. OC.

Greg would you ever consider building one of those resin kits from Atlantic Models.? OC.

Thank you Mark. OC.
-
I see you are correcting the bow slope - seams to be quite a common fault in most plastic kits of the Tribal class, looks like the only correct kits are the resin ones but the expense of those. OC.

Thank you Kindly Brother. OC.

Thank you Lou, I thought it would look better than the mono tone - fresh out of the factory look. OC.

Seriously though - Is it to "OTT"? I am trying to make it look like its been on a dusty range with that dusty type of roads that kick up so much dust when you power along them - I have seen pics of them in quite similar conditions Just never tried to simulate one on a model before. This kind of finish - not my pic. OC.
-
That would be fun. OC.

I heard after, they are stopping by an ELF garage to use one of the jet washers - and to pick up somemore (you guessed it) "Popcorn" OC.
