Clyno Vickers Motorcycle Machine Gun Combination 1/32 Scale
I had an unexpected opportunity to play last night so I couldn't resist seeing how they looked.... I have to say I'm rather pleased with myself! Ok, some of the spokes are bent and I daren't try and do anything about that ( I did rearrange them @Jakko , hope you approve ;) ), but the general...- Neil Merryweather

Clyno Vickers Motorcycle Machine Gun Combination 1/32 Scale
Well that’s not for the faint-hearted! This has really tested my mettle, my experience, my nerve and my patience. And I’m not even halfway through. Stage 1 of the destructions is adding PE details to the main frame, which is moulded in one piece. My first impression was ‘wow that’s amazing’...- Neil Merryweather

Clyno Vickers Motorcycle Machine Gun Combination 1/32 Scale
....and guess what- they failed, unsurprisingly; but not as badly as I feared. 0.2mm is at the absolute limit of what's possible here. You'll notice I didn't support the spokes at all, because of the difficulty of removing the supports. Next I'm going to try both the same wheel with more...- Neil Merryweather

Clyno Vickers Motorcycle Machine Gun Combination 1/32 Scale
Welcome aboard , gang! Thanks Mike ,I'm afraid I saw this too late. see below. The first stage in the instructions is the wheels so I started there. There was a bit of mould damage so some weird resin lumps but nothing too bad. The inner rims were very uneven, though, so I regularised them...- Neil Merryweather

Clyno Vickers Motorcycle Machine Gun Combination 1/32 Scale
Right then, I’m going for it! This is a resin kit from Tommy’s War, and comes with somewhat of a reputation, I believe. And if it all goes pear-shaped I am blaming @Steve Brodie for his post in Scratchbuilder's Thread here. I’ve never built a resin kit before but I’ve been a professional...- Neil Merryweather

1/32 Scale Sergeant, Motor Machine Gun Corps 1917
I’m very surprised to hear myself say this, but after the last Fusilier I felt the need to relax with a little ‘painting therapy’! I don’t buy many figures ‘off the shelf’ as it’s the converting and animating that I really like, and the painting part is a necessary evil, really. But as I’ve...- Neil Merryweather

Airfix 54mm Napoleonic French Line Infantry
Moving swiftly along, Fusilier 14 is ready for the wet stuff. Here's where we left him And here's how he looks now I'm not so sure about how the chin scales would hang with the shako upside down like this- I reasoned they are more flexible inwards (around the face) than outwards, but if...- Neil Merryweather

Airfix 54mm Napoleonic French Line Infantry
Oh dear I REALLY do need help! My two projects are cross-fertilizing! I’ve only gone and created another fusilier….. I was looking at them all lined up and I decided I really need another standing firing figure, and Fusilier 15 was an obvious candidate so I replaced his right arm and tweaked...- Neil Merryweather

Airfix 54mm Napoleonic French Line Infantry
Thanks for the great comments guys, sorry I didn't actually reply sooner, I thought I had. I haven't seen Planet of the Apes so it's pure coincidence there. The head is originally from the Airfix 10th Hussar, it's the first and probably the best in the range. Anyway he's all painted now And...- Neil Merryweather

Latest Acquisitions (2023)
Here's my modest haul from the De Havilland Museum Show The figure set on the left is the Italeri Elco PT Boat Crew , for £3 - BARGAIN! I've decide to dump the Vallejo primer and try the AK as it's so well-loved on this forum. And the Red Knight was a fiver and will be great for my grandson...- Neil Merryweather

1/32 Scale Household Cavalry Corporal of Horse, 1916
I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I so enjoyed painting the Airfix US Marine that I decided to paint something else right away! This is a Tommy’s war figure I’ve had primed and ready since May 2021 when I used him as a size guide for the RGA Gunner I sculpted (Link HERE if anyone’s...- Neil Merryweather

Iwo Jima 1-32 Scale
I decided to build and paint one of the Airfix US Marines 'Out Of The Box' (ALMOST), as a test to see how much of the original stuff I could actually tolerate... The only deviations from OOTB are the addition of the helmet straps and carbine sling. And the grenades are my own 3D printed ones...- Neil Merryweather

'A Gentleman in Khaki' - Boer War Soldier
Sorry for the slight hijack , but I thought this would amuse you all The bloodstains are actually my own blood, an opportunistic application when a knife blade snapped (I must have been about 16 at the time).

Fusilier 12 is done Annoyingly I don't notice the white dust until I see the pics on the PC screen:rolling: Unfortunately I broke the musket detaching it from the painting stick, so I'll have to paint another one-I do have a fair few spares. Only 3 left to go now... Cheers Neil- Neil Merryweather

A Second Grasshopper-1-32 Scale 95th Rifles Part 2
Way back in May 2019 I joined a group build called 'Bought at Cosford for a Fiver' which was great fun. It was only my second GB and sadly has not been run since, because Cosford has not happened since...! Only the one figure qualified as bought at Cosford ( for £2.50- bargain!) but I wanted...- Neil Merryweather

Airfix 54mm Napoleonic French Line Infantry
Thank you kindly, Gentlemen all, for the fine comments! I hereby present to you Fusilier 12 in his pre-painted state. I think the bayonet I printed looks a bit overscale so I'm going to check the dimensions and maybe print some a bit smaller. I had problems painting the eyes of the last few...- Neil Merryweather
