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.

Old Collingwood Posted December 13, 2020 Author Share #515 Posted December 13, 2020 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.

None of these show firing positions to do I would have to use the other figures arms but alter thier cuffs. OC.

Canute Posted December 16, 2020 Share #530 Posted December 16, 2020 Yes, working on all the fine detail s of your painting, you need to take frequent breaks to lessen eye strain. When my club built an N scale diorama (1/160 scale), I kit-bashed a number of structures, some of which had double hung windows. I built an L shaped fixture to stack the window layers up square, but if I got 3 pieces assembled in 20 -30 minutes I was cross-eyed, too. Even with good light and an Optivisor. I understand full well, mate.
