Hi Monica yes just used rust wash, to be honest I think there's still a little too much rust so will take a little more off before putting klear on

 

[monica]

thank you Ian , i did think it was, to me it looks alright,

 

[papa 695]

Been slowly working on this one. Got the second boat built.

Been looking for some decent figures for this. Any idea's ? What's the best manufacturer ? I want them to be standing not squatting or running.

looking good Ian, i like both of them, and the wreathing is great,

thats a hard one, as most do as you dont wont did you just try a google, for images of figures that some time show whats in the box,

sorry not much help

 

[Guest]

Mmm they looking magnificent Ian.

I think Italeri has a good range of figures, but I'm not sure at 100%

 

[papa 695]

Gone with Polux's recommendation, they do look good. got some nice standing figures that won't need much changing and some that will need a little tweek
