Evening all, a small bit of progress today - I have started to collect some odds and ends - shakos (that needed cutting off from heads then hollowing out) muskets that have had hands cut away and ruck sacks. OC.
-
Alan I have used the LifeColour Acrylic range for my HMS Warspite - they come in matched colour ranges and are really good on plastic, before I had an Airbrush I even brush painted them and got very good results. OC.
-
Thank you so much - very kind. OC.
-
Evening all, more water gel in the wheel tracks and a few more puddles. OC.
-
I wondered this as well Carl - does Anyone know what has happened to this valued member, she seemed to just vanish at the time when CV19 was in all our lives, so many family members have passed from here - its very sad. OC.
-
Yep I have brought the same thing its slightly bigger 40 x 30 x 2.8cm just waiting for it to arrive. OC.

I was thinking just that Jack. OC.

Thanks Ken. OC.

Thank you kindly, I think I will leave that area of the building as it is then. OC.
-
Weathering done, but to be honest I am self critic-ing it - not sure if I have gone over the top? OC.
-
Your doing some great work my friend - its not easy trying to achieve scale accuracy and convert that into a working build. OC.
-
Evening all, not a lot to report - just a thin sheet of flashing added to the extension and its glued in place now, its still waiting on some blending dry brushing to link it together. OC.
-
Stunning work, dont beat yourself up over the figure painting - its far harder to paint figures to look life like especially at smaller scales. OC.

Yep I'm in to - looking forward to this Big Hitter. OC. -
Thank you kindly for the link. OC.

Just done a side on view in Paint to show the gradient of the scenery or how it should be, just shows a rough guide to the slope of the grounds from the wall road towards the NW, its shows how I could display like a cut through view of the ground on the edge of my base. OC.

Thats called Fate Craig - it led you to finding them Two jems. OC.
-
What is attracting me towards the foam board shown above - is to be able to show nice sharp clean edges where they meet the display case sides, I would probably paint them an Earth colour to mimic cutting through a piece of ground. OC.

Thank you for the link Alan. OC.
-
Thank you Alan, it does look good - I have watched a few videos of it being used for scenery. OC.

I have seen this stuff even says it can be sanded to make contours and gradients - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/266556642528?_trkparms=amclksrc%3DITM%26aid%3D777008%26algo%3DPERSONAL.TOPIC%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20240131095853%26meid%3D49c2093ed2da43b9b9b6ed903ca8c204%26pid%3D101949%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D1%26itm%3D266556642528%26pmt%3D1%26noa%3D1%26pg%3D4375194%26algv%3DRecentlyViewedItemsV2Mobile%26brand%3DUnbranded&_trksid=p4375194.c101949.m162918&_trkparms=parentrq%3A5a061b6e18f0a0dc76e9ce35fffe4c82|pageci%3Aa22ccd1e-0d7e-11ef-919e-32f7db286d20|iid%3A1|vlpname%3Avlp_homepage OC.
