JR
I am sorry its taken a while to reply to your latest post but I have been in hospital recovering from a blackout. It came about when I was reading your blog and I saw that you wrote "you liked painting figures"!!!!! The next thing I know I have come around in a hospital bed with Matron trying to give me more of my blue diamond pills. This is indeed a momentous chapter in your modelling career and should be celebrated as such

Oi!!! John...not a fair fight ...four Ruskies against the whole Wehrmacht...the price of real estate unfortunately depicted the outcome. :tears-of-joy::tears-of-joy:

Looking forward to the final layout.

Well I can't fit anymore in Richard, ! But glad you suggested it, for some reason I hadn't even considered adding any Russians. Just to involved with the attack. Been doing 1/1 jobs at Race Towers as the weather has been so good . Hoping to get the Russian straps fitted on the weapons and then a coat of flat varnish to day. In fact going now .

Dzohn, Dzohn, Dzohn, how could you not? Great base/structures, superlative modeling, the truck still blows me away every time I see it. PaulE

 

[Guest]

[minitnkr]

No, no criticism/expectation here. Just expressing my agreement to include them. PaulE

 

[Guest]

Paul buddy I knew you weren't critcising, in fact I thought your comments were great .:thumb2:
I have done a first thin coat of flat AK varnish on the German group. The Russians have now swelled in number to at least 10 ! Using a Tamiya T34 Tank riding group. Have built these before, on my first ever dio . No point in rushing to get it done as can see the benefits of expanding the figures .

It's turning into a Hollywood epic - cast of thousands! Good for you.

Great work on the figures, John. Looking forward for the next steps

Hi John
Steady, steady or you'll end up with a base the size of the dining room table.
