    Andy Belsey's Book

    Here is a glimpse of the back of my book plus a couple of the inside. It’s a mixture of history and model techniques.

    Viking

    I've been working on my Viking slowly. The two halves of his body are stuck together but I have only put base coats on him so far plus a bit of wash. There's plenty to do and that won't be soon as I'm working on presents for my wife's sixtieth birthday. I've cut a label using the label of the...

    Viking

    Hi Not much progress but some. I'm busy with my book which will be published any day now. It was due today but is now due for 1st June. I also have a base released by Tommy's War today. I've attached my cross to a base which I carved in polyurethane. This material carves very well into stony...

    Viking

    Hi, I'm afraid that I got stuck with my Native American because he requires so much cleaning up, especially round his feathered bonnet. The moulding must have been very difficult but it has lots to clean up and I am bored at the moment, so have put it on hold to return to at some time in the...

    Andy Belsey's Book

    Hi Guys, I've sought permission from Ian to post this thread about my forthcoming book, which is due to be published at the end of this month. It's been a long old journey and some of you guys have followed and helped me as I've blogged the construction of the trench sections for several years...

    Twisted Wire Gem Tree

    I've just added this to my website but wanted to share it with my friends here. This is an Amethyst gem tree that I created for my wife for Valentine's Day. The twisted wire process is not new but some of you won't have tried it. Give it a go and see what you can produce. It's boring but worth...

    Kicking Bird 120mm PiliPili

    I’ve attached his legs to the base. You may be able to see that I’ve adapted the edges of the groundwork using crumbling car body filler and Polyfilla. I also made a frame to attach his upper body while I paint it. I still have some work to do on cleaning him up but I have added some Magic...

    Kicking Bird 120mm PiliPili

    I have done a little more to the feathers but have spent most of this week making 4 bases from some lumps of Walnut. This is actually one of the others as Ive attached the moulded base to Kicking Birds base but left that at work. I adjusted the edges of mine using car body filler and Polyfilla...

    Kicking Bird 120mm PiliPili

    Here's a Native American that I have done already. This is a 1:9 bust by Andrea of Sitting Bull. I spent a lot of my childhood playing Cowboys and Indians and had a big stash of Timpo Swapits that I had saved for my children. My son has never had an interest in figures/soldiers so they just...

    Kicking Bird 120mm PiliPili

    And now for something completely different! Just to prove that I have interests other than WW1 trenches I’ve dusted this off from my stash of Grey Army. I don’t think that you can buy him any more but I was attracted to the sense of movement that this figure has. You can easily see that he is...

    Photos

    Ron has lots of fun with his clever photography so I thought I'd have a go at playing with photos of some of my models (especially those which have Mike Butler's painting and enhancement.) Please excuse my lack of company recently. I've not really felt in the mood for social media, but I do look...

    Trench Sections in Progress.

    Mike's figures took 5 weeks to travel back to Blighty. It is hard to believe your eyes seeing what Mike can do with paint and I am delighted to put them in their final positions in my 'reversed' trench section. Before I did that I took some shots of them on my Somme bases. My book is expected to...

    Environment in a Box

    This is a model I completed 40 years ago when I was still in my teens! I was making WW1 box dioramas then. It just took me about 30 years to start again! Andy

    Trench Sections in Progress.

    How about this for a 54mm figure!!! Mike Butler has excelled himself with the work he has done on this conversion from Tommy's War's Lewis gunner. He was given a Hornet head and his arms were re-positioned by me. He has a new Lewis made by Kellerkind and his gas mask hose revealed. Mike had to...

    Trench Sections in Progress.

    Mike Butler has pasted some of his 1:32 scale skin and cloth onto another of my figures! This is an officer who accompanies my Lewis gunner. Harry Patch was No 2 in a Lewis gun team, so we've called him "Harry". There are no records that I could find of his officer, so this guy was named after...

    Trench Sections in Progress.

    Almost there! (Just 2 figures to go!) I have to submit my book by 1st September, so it will be soon. (And yes, this is what I look like without pegs on my face! - You all know I'm weird!!)
