    Airfix 54mm Napoleonic French Line Infantry

    Well, it's finally FINISHED!!!! Halle- f******- lujah! It only took just a tad over 3 years, and it was supposed to be an easy, strictly Out Of The Box antidote to the previous epic.... ANYWAY I was very careful to troubleshoot these first figures before they were obstructed by the standing...

    Last stand of the 45th- French Infantry at Waterloo

    I've finally finished the damn thing! It's been a real slog at times , with ups and downs but enjoyable none-the-less. Considering it started out as a single figure, then two and then four, and I had no real idea what I wanted the finished thing to look like , so I have to say I am rather...

    Shout Out to Historex Agents! I ordered this stuff yesterday afternoon, 2pm and it arrived this morning at 9. Fantastic. It's for the next (hopefully not so) epic Diorama- Iwo Jima.

    Airfix 54mm Napoleonic French Line Infantry

    I’m afraid my ‘youthful’ idealism in planting all the rye grass first was rather misconceived …. As with the flocking beforehand I couldn’t get the figures to lie flat on the ground without removing everything in the vicinity- and this was worse because it wasn’t just the upright stuff that was...

    Airfix 54mm Napoleonic French Line Infantry

    Well, I did start again. After a couple of ‘disappointed’ comments on the Planet Figure forum I decided to dump the flock and go full-on with the rye grass. I’ve come this far it would be a shame to ‘spoil the ship for ha’p’orth of tar’, as my mum used to say to me. So I scraped everything...

    Airfix 54mm Napoleonic French Line Infantry

    After a second application of Sculptamold to fill in the gaps under the casualties I painted it all earth colour I then applied flock- so called ’muddy’, - which I don’t really like because it has bits of red and blue in it, but I haven’t figured out how to get single coloured flock. So I...

    Latest Acquisitions (2024)

    I've been to Winchester for a few days to spend time with my newest granddaughter and yesterday I managed to slip off unnoticed into the Warhammer shop, and came away with these. The names are baffling so I had to get a teenager to help me..... :tongue-out3: It's rather sad that this is the...

    Airfix 54mm Napoleonic French Line Infantry

    Well the first excellent news is that Granddaughter Penelope finally arrived safe and sound on Saturday 3 Feb. The second news is that Porte-Aigle is painted and ready to join his pals And the third news is that I have made a start on the base. Using Allen’s fine suggestion I poked the pins...

    Airfix 54mm Napoleonic French Line Infantry

    Right then, Porte-Aigle is ready for paint. I have used white Milliput for the alterations up to now but I dug out some old Magic Sculpt for this and I much prefer it So on with the base. As I said before I want a very tight composition and I also want to have a dust cover so I have bought...

    Airfix 54mm Napoleonic French Line Infantry

    Paul, Tim, Doug, Jim, Paul, Mick, Wabble and Steve - many thanks indeed for your lovely comments. BUT I just can’t help myself. Having FINALLY finished the positively last two figures I started working on the composition, and no matter what I did I just couldn’t make the Deuxieme Porte-Aigle...

    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...
