    Historex 54mm Grenadiers Hollandaise de la Garde, Chapeau Chinois player

    I am still a little bit khaki’d out at the moment, and I’ve been promising myself for AGES that I would make a start on my collection of Historex figures. I really don’t want to lose momentum with the GIs but the temptation has been too great and so I have decided to go for some COLOUR , in the...

    RDG Miniatures Marine de la Garde Drummer 54mm

    As most people know by now, I generally only convert stock figures into something else, or even sculpt them myself. This means I very rarely buy a figure just because I like it and want to paint it. Well this is one of those rare figures, and, flushed with my recent painting success, I have...

    Neil's 1-35 Liberty Ship Diorama

    Many thanks Jim and Paul Well, I made it! GI no 1 is painted, and I’m a lot happier with the result. I think I will just have to stick with doing them one at a time from now on. I was chatting to my daughter, who is a painter of portraits, about flesh colours and she suggested underpainting in...

    Neil's 1-35 Liberty Ship Diorama

    Thanks everyone for the positive comments and encouragement. GI no1 of this batch is ready for paint. The torso I used didn’t have the life-preserver so I made one from lead foil and a 3D-printed nozzle. I have made several before as litter in the Landing Craft but this is the first time I...

    Neil's 1-35 Liberty Ship Diorama

    Cheers Jim. I’m pleased to report that the paint has yet to be chosen for the decorating so I have been able to get to the bench and make a start on the third batch of disembarking GI’s. So here they all are in their ’Frankenstein’ state on my 3D-printed base mock-up ,which saves me from...

    Neil's 1-35 Liberty Ship Diorama

    Finally! Painting the remaining four Gis of this second batch has been a real struggle, mostly because it’s been spaced over almost three months, with an hour snatched here and there , in between major house decorating (sanding floorboards as well as paint and wallpaper)and a holiday, and then...

    90mm Skinner's Horse Captain

    He’s DONE! I never really expected this to happen because of my historic fear of painting, but there it is. It was more enjoyable than I expected it to be and it took longer than I expected, but that might be because of the real life distractions I have at the moment. And it was more...

    Latest Acquisitions (2025)

    I don't usually post on this thread, but I feel a shout out is due to Richard48 , the very nice chap who sent me all of this booty as a thankyou for some 3D printing I did for his Phantoms project it's WAY out of proportion for the work I did, but I'm very grateful, and you will certainly some...

    90mm Skinner's Horse Captain

    I have finished the braid and everything above the waist, except for the pugaree. I think I’ve got the shade of gold braid too yellow-in fact in some pictures it looks almost silver- but I’m living with it. It would have meant a mix which I couldn't be sure of replicating at each session (in...

    90mm Skinner's Horse Captain

    I’ve been beavering away with this guy in between all the household jobs that keep getting thrown at me, as well as helping my eldest daughter with a ‘Life Laundry’- clearing her lock-up of stuff she’s stored but hasn’t thought about for four years. So, first the yellow. It took four coats to...

    Latest Acquisitions (2025)

    I don't normally post images of my latest purchases , mostly because I'm trying to use up my stash so I don't buy very much. If you've read my latest post on the DH88 Comet, you will understand. As I do mostly 1-32 scale figures this should last me a decade!

    90mm Skinner's Horse Captain

    I’ve now painted the turban, and I'm feeling a bit better about our boy’s prospects now. I’ve wimped out a bit on the embroidery, compared to the real thing, but who’s to know....;):rolleyes:? But the red cone thing went better than I expected, given that the ‘sculptor’ had not provided any...

    Neil's Battle of Britain Pilots- BoB GB

    This is going to be my contribution to the BoB GB. ...at least something inspired by this (clearly posed ) picture. I’ve been a BoB nut since seeing the film in 1969 aged 12 (I suspect I am not alone on this forum in that regard...), and this is another long mulled-over idea that this GB has...

    90mm Skinner's Horse Captain

    Well I've finally got some paint on him. I now know what a joy it is to paint a well-sculpted face, and OMG, what a crap job the ‘sculptor’ did of this one! My apologies to anyone who ever tried to paint him. Unfortunately my abilities are no better in the painting department, and my patience...

    90mm Skinner's Horse Captain

    Now that I’ve got the paints out for the D-Day GIs , I'm also going to break out of my comfort zone, both in scale and material. This is my first ever 90mm figure,and not just for painting. This is a white metal casting of the first master figure I ever made for the late Michael Hearn of...

    Thanks everyone. I am relieved to say they look ok with the primer on

    Neil's 1-35 Liberty Ship Diorama

    I’ve finished the next four GIs, so all six are now ready for priming - and painting, YAY! GIs 3&4, the .30cal team, both have 3D printed packboards which I originally created for the Iwo Jima project-(oops, remember that?) and they have their packs strapped on top of the gun and ammo...

    Neil's 1-35 Liberty Ship Diorama

    I’m afraid it’s been a couple of months since my last ‘confession’, due to domestic responsibilities followed by a nice little private commission. I wasn’t intending to have a break from this but SWMBO decided I needed one - or more to the point, she wanted stuff done. And after a couple of...
