But then I do have form, I suppose- some of you may remember the horses and the 'Flying Scotsman' in the Scots Greys Charge diorama?

I certainly do…….

 

[Caustik Filth]

Wow!

 

[Neil Merryweather]

Woohoo, I've finally got these two over the line!

















The next three are primed...
Thanks for looking in
Neil

Those are superb Neil. You really have a talent for modifying and painting these figures. So nice to see colour rather than khaki and German grey.

Neil, outstanding mate. I really love the drummer.

Not to lower the tone too much, but here's the evidence

Colorful indeed, Neil.
As I recall, traditional tailoring in those days require to ask if the wearer was a leftee or rightee. :smiling6:

I am pleased to announce that Fusilier 9 is painted and ready for assembly!
And Fusiliers 10 & 11 are both quite close and will follow shortly


PHEW!

 

[Allen Dewire]

Beautiful work Neil!!! I now understand what it takes for you to paint all the tiny details on your fuselages. With my wing thingy, I'm in the same boat. I also understand why #9 is a casualty as anyone would be too, skewered in the gut in a pin vise. Bring on 10 & 11 Sir!!!...

With the marines well underway with their JR flame machines, when are you going to start printing the terrorists with the atomic bombs???...

Prost
Allen

 

[rtfoe]

Are you sure #9 is not Ultraman flying through an asteroid field keeping his hands as close to his body and not hit any? :smiling6:
Flying along well Neil.

Cheers,
Wabble

 

[Steve Brodie]

super stuff

 

[Neil Merryweather]

Thanks you gentlemen for the great comments.
Here is Fusilier 9 all put together, he just needs a bit of mud & possibly blood, but I'll do all that at the end I think.

thanks for watching

[Allen Dewire]

Wow Neil, he really does look like a casualty! I love the way you modified his feet to look the part too. It may be a lot of work to make these, but they are well worth it. The poses are so realistic Sir!!!...

Prost
Allen

 

[Mickc1440]

Fantastic work Neil, the poses are superb

 

[rtfoe]

Hi Neil, that looks like one good stiff...I mean casualty. As has been said the position of the legs looks real.

Cheers,
Wabble

 

[scottie3158]

Neil excellent work as always.

 

[Davethehat]

Progressing nicely Neil
