    Neil's Italeri 1/35 LCVP Landing Craft

    Hey Jakko, in most areas I would unhesitatingly bow to your unrivalled and detailed knowledge, but in this I must beg to differ. Believe me I have studied and prepared for this project for more than ten years and the overwhelming impression and evidence is that the Higgins Boats were bruised and...

    Neil's Italeri 1/35 LCVP Landing Craft

    I’ve proceeded to the next step in the destructions which is the installation of the vertical ribs in the hull sides. I primed the sides to check how well the filling of the sink marks had gone- not great, more work required. It also occurred to me that it’s going to be tricky painting the...

    Neil's Italeri 1/35 LCVP Landing Craft

    I am pleased to announce that on 5th June 2024 I cut plastic (and PE), and completed stage 1 of the instructions. I had already gone through the PE instructions and noted on the kit instructions where and what the alterations are, and it was straight in with the rudder and exhaust(?) surround...

    Neil's Italeri 1/35 LCVP Landing Craft

    As announced already in the chat thread this is my entry. The sprue shot And I have a few after market bits for it. I have had this on the stocks for at least ten years, probably longer, and my plan is to incorporate it into a diorama, and full of GI’s on their way to the beaches. I’ve...

    Keeping My Hand In

    Well I quite enjoyed painting this guy. He is Marshall Mortier in 54mm by New Hope Design in white metal, from many many years ago. Faces are still very much a lottery for me ( as is photography....) but this one has turned out ok. Next up is this RAF Harrier Pilot by Chota Sahib (Sid Horton)...

    Welcome to Geoff’s D-Day 80th Anniversary tribute chat thread.

    This is my entry Sprue shot Decals and after-market This will be my biggest foray into PE apart from a seat harness for a Spitfire so that will be interesting. This will be the first part of a long-planned (10 years +) diorama which I have put off starting time and time again, and what...

    Keeping My Hand In

    I have had quite a break from the hobby since finishing the Fusiliers diorama(although I have been doing some professional architectural stuff), and I can’t quite bring myself to pick up Iwo Jima again, so I wanted a little painting project to keep my hand in, because I forget what I learn if I...

    D-day 80th anniversary tribute build - 5th June -Sept 24.

    I've already declared my intention but here's what I am going to build. It will eventually be part of a long-planned diorama and this has finally given me the kick up the backside to start it.

    Airfix 54mm Napoleonic French Line Infantry

    Well, it's finally FINISHED!!!! Halle- f******- lujah! It only took just a tad over 3 years, and it was supposed to be an easy, strictly Out Of The Box antidote to the previous epic.... ANYWAY I was very careful to troubleshoot these first figures before they were obstructed by the standing...

    Last stand of the 45th- French Infantry at Waterloo

    I've finally finished the damn thing! It's been a real slog at times , with ups and downs but enjoyable none-the-less. Considering it started out as a single figure, then two and then four, and I had no real idea what I wanted the finished thing to look like , so I have to say I am rather...

    Latest Acquisitions (2024)

    Shout Out to Historex Agents! I ordered this stuff yesterday afternoon, 2pm and it arrived this morning at 9. Fantastic. It's for the next (hopefully not so) epic Diorama- Iwo Jima.

    Airfix 54mm Napoleonic French Line Infantry

    I’m afraid my ‘youthful’ idealism in planting all the rye grass first was rather misconceived …. As with the flocking beforehand I couldn’t get the figures to lie flat on the ground without removing everything in the vicinity- and this was worse because it wasn’t just the upright stuff that was...

    Airfix 54mm Napoleonic French Line Infantry

    Well, I did start again. After a couple of ‘disappointed’ comments on the Planet Figure forum I decided to dump the flock and go full-on with the rye grass. I’ve come this far it would be a shame to ‘spoil the ship for ha’p’orth of tar’, as my mum used to say to me. So I scraped everything...

    Airfix 54mm Napoleonic French Line Infantry

    After a second application of Sculptamold to fill in the gaps under the casualties I painted it all earth colour I then applied flock- so called ’muddy’, - which I don’t really like because it has bits of red and blue in it, but I haven’t figured out how to get single coloured flock. So I...

    Latest Acquisitions (2024)

    I've been to Winchester for a few days to spend time with my newest granddaughter and yesterday I managed to slip off unnoticed into the Warhammer shop, and came away with these. The names are baffling so I had to get a teenager to help me..... :tongue-out3: It's rather sad that this is the...

    Airfix 54mm Napoleonic French Line Infantry

    Well the first excellent news is that Granddaughter Penelope finally arrived safe and sound on Saturday 3 Feb. The second news is that Porte-Aigle is painted and ready to join his pals And the third news is that I have made a start on the base. Using Allen’s fine suggestion I poked the pins...

    Airfix 54mm Napoleonic French Line Infantry

    Right then, Porte-Aigle is ready for paint. I have used white Milliput for the alterations up to now but I dug out some old Magic Sculpt for this and I much prefer it So on with the base. As I said before I want a very tight composition and I also want to have a dust cover so I have bought...

    Airfix 54mm Napoleonic French Line Infantry

    Paul, Tim, Doug, Jim, Paul, Mick, Wabble and Steve - many thanks indeed for your lovely comments. BUT I just can’t help myself. Having FINALLY finished the positively last two figures I started working on the composition, and no matter what I did I just couldn’t make the Deuxieme Porte-Aigle...
