That's looking good Ratch - it's a great looking aircraft in that all black scheme!

I found this wargaming set while in Sandown, IOW. It's by Perry Miniatures, called Travel Battle, and the figures are 8mm tall
I started painting them (quite coarsely) and for comparison, the figure sitting on the woods is 1/72

Didn't find time for modelling last week, but did get back in the saddle today
Can't wait to get these done and have a game
A bit slower with the mounted officers

Very nice indeed - is that the Duke of Brunswick on the Duke's left? Always my favorite Napoleonic uniform.

Re: Ratch's workbench 2017
Excellent work, Ratch, the Airfix Waterloo farmhouse turned out very nicely as indeed have your figures. Those 8mm figures are something else - did you have to get a magnifier out?
Doing - Tamiya 1/35th Universal Carrier.

Re: Ratch's workbench 2017
There are smaller scales than that - I think 2mm (1/600) is as small as it goes, but the joke in wargames circles is it's only a matter of time before the 1mm figure makes an appearance. Regardless of that, there's some very skilled 20mm painting going on there. Respect is due, Ratch, keeping the traditional scales alive.ShaunW wrote:Excellent work, Ratch, the Airfix Waterloo farmhouse turned out very nicely as indeed have your figures.
