Hissing Sid is looking good.

Thanks Jim, Sid is an English reference to whom?????

I have decided on an ammo belt for the Jezail and from reference it has a pouch for the lead balls and some containers to hold the gun powder.
The belt was done first...

Then the pouch added after I reversed the buckle arrangement...

The close ups really make this very crude and I must smooth things over before painting.
I then made the powder containers from sprue and putty.

I will reprime and start with the painting... how many times have I said that already.

Cheers,
Wabble

Thanks Richard, as far as I know like our new forum platform it has its own issues implementing the new online business which is part of Lucky Models. I seldom do online purchases so am not sure what's going on. Delays in delivery I suppose. If I hear anything I'll let you know.

Coming along nicely Richard, that snake must have been difficult being so small.

Thanks Graeme, I just reprime both the figures just the other day. Haven't taken any photos yet.

Hi All,
Just smoothened the surface and got rid of any bumps and sinks. Also did the kicked up sand with cotton...very delicate process by adding tony bits at a time. Hope it's convincing at this angle...

The little hole and pencil marks in the foreground is where the snake will be buried. Another delicate process. I dropped it and lost a horn so needs repair...luckily the fangs weren't affected.

Cheers,
Wabble

Looks great Wabble.Does look like a windswept desert and kicked up sand looks effective.
Nice.

Thanks Richard, still twiddling the terrain and burying the snake.

Scottie, from this angle it looks convincing but from the top I'm having issues. I have to spray the colours on before subtracting bits of the cotton to look right. Testing with hair spray to see if it stays still.

Looking very realistic. Of

Thank you Jim. The desert and it's features isn't as easy as it looks to work down to scale. Fingers crossed I am successful.

Cheers,
Wabble
