Thats a really interesting way of doing your sea mate - never seen that before - looking good. OC. -
Tell me about it Ken, even made my eyes go cockeyed - my right eye is now looking left - and my left is looking right - did a good job of slowing my heart rate and breathing down though while trying to keep a 5/0 brush steady.😰 OC.
-
Thank you kindly Phil. pleased that your looking in mate. OC.

Evening all, Three hours work this evening just painting the haversacks and straps and then touching in where I had gone over the Green coats slightly - where does the time go when you are concentrating. OC.
-
Don't you mean Salt and Lineker? OC.

Evening all, a bit more progress - I got them primed Two coats brush coated, then I painted thier Green jackets. OC.

Yep its a sprue of Two figures with seperate arms - One has the Two arms attached to the rifle, and the other are a seperate arm holding the rifle and an arm with clenched fist, I have about Five sets of them and they are all the same moulding and arm positions, the heads are seperate also - so in theory if the arms were placed in the same position - there would be just the Two positions. None of these show firing positions to do I would have to use the other figures arms but alter thier cuffs. OC.

Evening all, right I have the next Five KGL Light infantry assembled - I tried to vary the poses of them a bit as they only come in Two position varieties so I just had to move thier arms around a bit. OC,

Hi Phil, loving your canons (as I always do) you push the boundaries and create little pieces of art - keep up the great work my firend. OC.
-
Thank you kindly Ken, I will be leaning on folk for direction and advice when I start on my scenery as I have never done anything like this before. OC.

Certainly adds more life to the build with the elavators lowerd, and what you say about a "Flying part" off your kit when working on it - so fits in to probably all of our work practices - wouldn't be normal unless something going missing. OC.

Great cars for the money and tons and tons of spares back then - but "Wow" was they rust buckets. OC.

My late farther used to buy cheap old UK Fords Like the Cortina mk 2 and mk 3, he used to get them dirt cheap second hand and do them up as good as he could including brush painting both of them - I helped him hand paint the mk3 with Tekaloid paint he got from his works - he had it made up in his works paint shop, I remember we would mask up an area at a time with newspaper then paint say a whole wing then rear wing - doors bonnet - boot - roof etc not the best in the summer with all those flies and nats in the out doors. I also remember us doing a top end referb putting new guides in and piston seals. Like these pics off the net. OC.

I have been measuring up how much room I have for my display board and it will be 36 Inches x 20 Inches (91.4cm x 50.8cm) the farm building complex I will be getting measure (62cm x 46cm) but that doesn't leave a lot of space at the front where a lot of the action was, so I have decided the best option is to make the rear stables building a "False Building" I will just show the face of the wall with a cut out for the rear entrance and will paint a false hoizon view, by doing this I think I will free up another 5-6cm's to give me more room at the front where the road will go. OC.

Evening all, got some more progress on my little armies - have started on Five more KGL the light regimant in thier Green uniforms, Five is a good number to do in a go as thier easy to work on without feeling too repetetive, although they have only Two positions I will try to make them look slightly different - I will post some more pics when I have done a bit more. OC.
-
Thank you kindly Captain. OC.
-
Glad you have a plan that will sort that little headache brother, by the way I can see the decs on the deck - they are a nice addition to give it some detail, and better than trying to mask and paint them. OC.

Get her in a case to protect all your superb work for eternity. OC.

Thank you so much Denis, I think its a combination of factors why I seem to be doing a reasonable job on these figures - Good magnifaction, good light, some better thinner brushes and a more controled way of painting them, I have to be honest - I am quietly impressed myself. OC.
