Evening all, I have been busy again this evening - I managed another Three hours at the benchy thing, I decided to carry on making more 2nd KGL, I have been working form the box of nearly 30 figures working on the different torso's adding different arm positions and creating some different poses, I am doing one doing a handstand up the wall as he was bored and another doing a jump over a piece of gym equipment (only joking - I'm not that mad - yet), the difficult thing is matting up the correct arm positions to the torso's as there is no number sequence or construction guide - only some box artwork of the completed/painted figures, so to an extent I have to use some heat and glue to get the arm socket positions as they need to be.

Looking forward to your build - I remember being a keen lad getting my dad to help me build my first model ships - sometimes he got a bit to excited and stuck into it - especially with the bigger builds. OC.

Evening all, after spending another afternoon in the yard (camera in hand scanner on) I decided to prime the happy little KGL group, stariaght forward (does as it says on the tin) just a couple of brushed on coats with my "go to" Vallejo Acrylic Black then dried off with the HD (hairdryer) then I thought it would be an idea to drag out some of the first made figures and brush over a couple of coats of my new falt coat - its Migs Ultra Flat Acrylic Varnish, this stuff really works its the best I have used so far that has to be brushed on, trick is to only put a small amount on in coats dried between coats. So here is a pic showing the primed KGL along with the now very flat varnished KGL line. Oh and a pic of the varnish. OC.

I have had a look at another way I could place the farm on my board when it comes with the case - instead of placing it flat against the back with the roadway along the front, I could place it at a slight angle - that way I could place some of the figures around the farm not just the front and left sort of like this - what do you think - OC.

Thanks Mark. OC.

Evening all, I have done a lot of thinking and researching today to work out my display case strategy, after talking to the admiral we both decided it would be better (safer) if I went for a plastic display case instead of glass, Two things biased this decision firstly I will be taking the case of the base quite a lot while building the dio, and secondly the weight and fragile risk of the case getting smashed and tiny fragments going into the carpet and cutting our dogs paws. I did a lot of looking around and I found a few companies who specialize in Acrylic cases with a base, I found the cheapest (ish) one and dialled in my size requirements go the size I wanted (I went a wee bit wider to allow me to build the whole farm complex without cutting the back row of buildings off) the price surprised me a bit but guess I am getting a good bit of kit that will be lighter and less risk of getting smashed/damaged - just need to wait for it to arrive in a few weeks. OC.
