    Airfix 54mm Napoleonic French Line Infantry

    Well as usual my 'couple of weeks' turned into a couple of months... After a whole load of decorating followed by Mojo deflation I finally knuckled down to painting these boys- but I had to do a couple of practice heads before I let myself loose on their faces, just to get back in the swing of...

    Ok other hobbies, erm?

    Ok, I guess it's time to 'out' myself after all these years. SWMBO and I are absolutely nuts about dancing - yes, you did read that correctly! We dance many styles - mostly Modern Jive , but also Rock n Roll, Salsa, Argentine Tango , Ballroom and Latin, and Lindy Hop (that's a killer for 66...

    Airfix 54mm Napoleonic French Line Infantry

    I am even more delighted to announce that Fusilier 16 is done and ready for paint – Ta Da! After putting it off for quite a while I finally knuckled down to doing the hair. I knew I wanted something scruffy but I didn’t quite know what. I was inspired whilst watching an old documentary from 1967...

    Architectural Model -Mostly 3D printed

    I posted my current freelance project in ‘What’s On The Bench’ a month ago, and I thought some of you might find the process of interest, so I’ve decided to give it a thread of its own. It is a model for a local architect, and I have created a digital model from their 2D plans with a view to 3D...

    Latest Acquisitions (2023)

    A couple of little birthday presents to myself. I have the Italeri ambulance jeep in the stash and a great idea for a dio but the stretchers are rubbish and no figures. I was expecting to scratch them myself but these will do the trick. And the buckles are for the Fusiliers because I've run out...

    Airfix 54mm Napoleonic French Line Infantry

    Thank you everyone for the kind comments- much appreciated. I’ve done a bit more to our guys. They’ve been filled and filed and fettled and are now ready for the detailing of buttons and piping etc. Fusilier 15 has all of his kit already and I have made a start with fusilier 16’s pack-I...

    Airfix 54mm Napoleonic French Line Infantry

    Well a couple of weeks’ break turned into 5 months! But after a spell In the trenches, a LOT of 3D printing bits for people, wedding preparations and now an actual private commission(see What's on the bench), I’ve got the urge to get back into French dark blue, and hopefully the final furlongs...

    What's on the Bench 2023

    thanks Richard. The images are not in perspective, just a sort of isometric- you can rotate the image any which way, without any optical illusion - that's only in done in renderings-ie 'artist's impressions' like this And yes there IS a slope, and the building doesn't go all the way through it...

    What's on the Bench 2023

    I haven't posted anything for a while, been busy 3D printing stuff for people. but my latest project is a model for a local architect, for which I have created a digital model from their 2D plans with a view to 3D printing most of it. Here's the digital model-the scale is 1-60 to fit on a plinth...

    What's on the Bench 2023

    I am happy to say that I met my deadline, although I fell short of my own expectations as far as the likenesses are concerned. I knew that smiles are hard to do convincingly so I avoided them , but I wish I had tried now... But I had 'managed the couple's expectations', so they were relieved it...
