    Open Day of the CEMA Trenches and Model Display

    I’m going to take a display of my trench models to the Kent County Showground in Detling, Maidstone, Kent, ME14 3JF ENGLAND on 26-27 November. You may know that the CEMA team have some life-size replica trenches in the woods in Detling. (CEMA stands for Centre for Experimental Military...

    Heath Robinson's Pilsner Pump Section

    I didn't expect to make any more trench sections but got tempted by this. Heath Robinson's amazingly bizarre Pilsner Pump for sapping the enemy's supper beer! It requires a total scratch-build of course. The figures will be about 30mm tall. The soil is still work in progress. This is just a...

    Sculpting

    Sorry that I’ve not been very present recently. I had a patch while I didn’t really feel like making anything and still haven’t got the mojo for military modelling. It will come back. Meanwhile I’ve been sculpting. I made a couple of hares in DAS clay for my wife. I made an armature for the...

    Holocaust Model 1:160 scale

    The Holocaust is a taboo subject for many and I have attempted to display this model as sensitively as I can. About seven years ago I was given the 1:160 scale painted figures and cattle trucks, along with some other parts which I have chosen not to use. I have concentrated on the transportation...

    Gallipoli Diorama by Mike Butler - 54mm!!

    Mike has finally released images of a diorama that he started in 2014. Along the way he befriended me and I was asked to create a base for them. After much discussion, I made the hut with its sandbags and blankets, plus boxes, spades and Flimsies, etc. They have all been treated to Mike's...

    Your Favorite 1/76 1/72 Airfix Boxart

    I too have been enjoying this thread and have been searching for my old catalogues which were in a 'safe place'. I finally found them last night! I have so many happy memories looking through my catalogues dreaming of all the kits I'd love. I still have them, It's so hard to chose one piece of...

    US Cavalry Officer. 1:9 scale

    I've had no desire for modelling (apart from my day job to earn a living!) in recent months but hopefully it's coming back? I painted this figure getting on for 20 years ago. (See last photo.) He's Andrea's John Wayne bust, but I gave him a moustache and carved off his braces. Since working with...

    Micro Priest

    I've just completed another micro diorama as a gift for a friend. I had the base nearly complete from my days working in 1:285 scale and just had to get the Priest and figures ready. This is a war-gaming vehicle made by GHQ and all I've done on this one is paint it. For those who haven't seen my...

    Viking

    Here is my completed Viking. I've called his Harald after Harald Klak, who was the first Viking convert to Christianity. He has just slaughtered some priests to grad their gold and ripped the jewelled covers off a couple of Bibles/Gospels. I added a small amount of blood to his axe and one of...

    What's on the Bench? 2021

    I'm working on a Viking at the moment. It's almost done now. Just a few details to add to the base. Andy

    Viking

    This is his hoard that he's gathered,

    Viking

    You should spot poppies, tall grass and a bit of blood on the base now. I am now working on his hoard of gold. I made a couple of goblets from old mouldings that I had in my stash. I used to do a lot of architectural mouldings before the days of 3D printers. These were features made for a model...

    Viking

    Well. I've painted his last weapons and tinkered with his cloak fur. I painted his boots and think that he's finished? So back to the base. I added some grass made from old carpet underlay. I give it a wash of green after laying it. I'm now adding some plants and I've made some discarded Bibles...

    Viking

    I spent lunchtime painting spots and dashes onto my wolf skin cloak. It's not completed yet and I will add some buff to the mixture. I've put base coats onto his sword and attached it ready to detail and I couldn't resist dry fitting him ono his base. He'll be standing in grass eventually. (He...

    Viking

    I said I'd try to get some photos and here they are. I've been working on his cloak today. I'm quite pleased with the texture I created on the hide. I'm still working on the fur and wolf's head. But he's getting there! Andy

    Viking

    Thanks guys. I am enjoying painting him but when I am so blessed to have these beauties in my possession, then you know that there is room for improvement! Remember that these are all 54mm figures. These heads are smaller than your little finger nail! Mike Butler is a master. I have learnt...

    Viking

    I've been working on my Viking's clothing through the week and he's slowly getting there. i have to keep reminding myself not to compare my work to Mike Butler's. My painting looks good to the naked eye but doesn't really enlarge that well. i have work to finish all over him and only have base...

    Viking

    I was making presents for my wife two weeks ago and then away last week so I've not had much opportunity to work on my Viking. I've been painting his shield and working on his legs while I remind myself how to paint. I leave long gaps between and have to get the practice back! Here's my battle...
