2024 bench butchering... by Ratch

Great work on the Walrus and it's base Richard, they look excellent.
I like your 'impressionist modeller' terminology; very good indeed

[Ratch]

Thanks

The figures are looking good, are you wargaming with them?

Some day

A little bit more done on the Dutch farmhouse.



Another KGL regiment, the Light Battalion Grubenhagen, has been started. Mostly re-paints with a few new figures.

Initially, I thought they wore green jackets, like the Rifles, but the image I found was incorrectly captioned. Another site confirmed their colours.

Thanks Howard, they both started off as background builds, but I'm between projects this week, so there may be a little spurt of accelerated building/painting

Stuff done on the bases.

I've tried to blend them.



I'm happy with the way the KGL are developing.

The KGL Grubenhagen are now complete and in the Gallery 
On 6 March I received a small package. It was the missing part of the SR-N1 Hovercraft, thanks to the Airfix Spares Department. I cleaned it up and primed with grey, then airbrushed white. I may have handled it too soon in my impatience and had to re-paint over blemishes. The wheels are very fragile. To eliminate the chance of knocking them off, I cut three pieces from a paint brush ferrule and fixed them underneath. This raises the whole model, as if in flight.


More in the Gallery

You always do a good sea base, Ratch and the Walrus dio really looks good. More great Napoleonic stuff and the SR-N1, which I've long thought to be one of Airfix's more imaginative releases.

The bases are looking good, as are the troops!

Thanks Shaun, I have a rather play-worn Corgi SR-N1 too

Just started this A1373.



I started by washing the runners in warm, soapy water. They were left to air dry. Then some research.
