Whilst at the Northern Model show I bought the Airifx re-release of the Guards in 1:76 scale.
I was obviously feeling nostalgic and remember having these as a youngster, they were marching on my model railway.
I was disappointed on opening the boxes, they were worse than I remembered, the same moulds and they are in bright red plastic.
As I had been doing some 1/72 stuff and figures I did think that I could produce a diorama with these on.
Here ares some pictures.
One figure straight from the box.

The moulding is pretty poor and the detail, what detail.
Well I will see what I can make of them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They were 5.95 per box, so I suppose I shouldn't complain.

Thanks Chris.
It had been my original intention to put two Trebuchets on the second board, but it looked too crowded.
I went with the Zvesda one and added some figures round and about to complete the scene.
I think there may be more figures to go on as and when.

The first two photos show the second board and the last two the complete scene, so far.

Messy!!!!

You?ve get the right weather for grass laying warm ish and wet.
Is it take the long journey north on Sunday.

Bob c

Not this one but the earlier one will be,
See you Sunday!

Keeping you busy.

Some figures added.

How about a sign "Keeo off the Grass" that would stop Martin the Mean in his tracks - hohhohohoho

Do you mean Keep?
But maybe he is inside the Castle?

Now in thinking mode - ok, I know you didn't think I did any.
Well its wet, the allotment is too puddled and so I will just have to model.

I think the diorama may take this shape, some selective compression, so the trebuchet is really not far enough away - artistic licence maybe?
