    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...

    Peek 'a Boo!........A 1/72 Lancaster Bomber

    That's pretty special Ron. Great job. Here's an inspiration for you..... full size centurion (or chieftain, I can never remember which is which) at Bovington

    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...

    Review Favorite Old Builds

    Love that, Paul, the engineers worked equally hard. I've just seen a FAMO in the flesh in a Museum in Normandy- my god it's a BEAST! My son and my grandson- he's 6'8" !! (my son is his uncle, not his dad, who is almost as tall,-but not quite) I can recommend the Overlord Museum- probably...

    Oh VERY nice!

    Neil's 1-35 Liberty Ship Diorama

    Just a quickie from me. I’ve assembled the second batch of six GIs- I calculate that I need at least 18 guys along the covered bit before I can nail it down and carry on with the next stage of the ship. Much as I hated them I decided to use up the remaining Italeri torsos, and also the Italeri...

    Neil's 1-35 Liberty Ship Diorama

    Well that WAS fun! I was planning to leave the accessories off until I was ready to place all the figures, but I just can’t wait that long!There are going to be so many on this deck and I wanted to see how they worked together. So I have placed most of the details, some of them with PVA, so I...

    Model figures - British Troops at rest - where to find?

    theyre not exactly relaxed poses but they don't have kit or webbing so they are easily adaptable

    Neil's 1-35 Liberty Ship Diorama

    As always ,thanks very much everyone. I’ve been putting it off but I had to start eventually- the weathering. I had planned to leave it until everything was together but I realised that was utter folly . There’s so much stuff on top of stuff that I need to do the ‘background’ parts before they...

    Neil's 1-35 Liberty Ship Diorama

    Note also the use of inflated life preservers on the heavy kit- I'm going to try for that as well....

    Neil's 1-35 Liberty Ship Diorama

    As ever, thanks everyone for the continued interest. Well who would have thought it? They’re painted and I quite enjoyed the experience! But not at first... As discussed I batch-painted them, and I found it immensely tedious, especially by the time I got to number six every time. I didn’t take...

    Neil's 1-35 Liberty Ship Diorama

    Thanks as ever for the encouragement and comments, chaps. I thought I would just post a couple of pics of the logistics of this operation-the ‘quartermasters stores’ if you will. Here are some sets already sorted It got really tedious putting things into bags one by one -especially the...

    Neil's 1-35 Liberty Ship Diorama

    I've done a bit more on these GI’s, fettling and adding some of the web equipment This has been quite a learning curve for this project, and I’m glad I limited the number to six. I thought it would be a good idea to press the ammo pouches(many of which are individual- GRRR) into the wet...

    Neil's 1-35 Liberty Ship Diorama

    Thanks for the comments and interest chaps! So let’s get on with these Italeri guys. I’m going to do them in small batches so I don’t get overwhelmed with the sheer weight of numbers! I have at least forty GI figures to work with, and I haven’t even counted the US Navy guys I have for the crew...

    Neil's 1-35 Liberty Ship Diorama

    Thanks a lot guys. So, as promised, let’s finally make a start on the figures. Over the years I have collected various US Infantry sets by different manufacturers and some are better than others, but hopefully the variety will reflect the general weirdnesses of humanity. This is the pool from...

    Neil's 1-35 Liberty Ship Diorama

    Many thanks everyone for the encouragement Well I’ve now primed it all and I have been mulling over how best to proceed from there. As you can see I’ve made a start on the Boat Deck above, just to make sure it all fits together before I nail everything down... The blobby thing in masking...

    Neil's 1-35 Liberty Ship Diorama

    Right then, I’ve been busy with the covered walkway It was bit tricky to figure out a way of temporarily holding it all together whilst I fitted the beams, but I got there in the end The original intention was to leave the top open and simply close it with the deck above(which is going to be...
