Sidetracked Yet Again
« on: February 14, 2024, 02:50:19 PM »
Well, I have been diverted as usual.
Here are some pictures of my latest projects. well two of them.
Any Ideas?

Well they are for my two granddaughters, one 10, the other 6.
They will have lights inside.

The first two are for Ellie (6). The time on the clock has some relevance.
The other is for Isabel (10).

The street scene was impressive at the club night.
I'm sure you will have two happy and grateful grand daughters.
Cheers,
Kevin
I hope my next is always better

Sidetracking over, now back to something Gun Motor Carriage related - but first a major tidy up is required.
Here is "Back to the Future"  Book Nook.

I have always enjoyed painting figures, but never managed to achieve the results that I would like. I am always inspired by Howard's figures. I keep trying, but never seem to get there.
I bought some Victrix 54mm ones and thought I would have another go, I think one problem maybe that the quality of the mouldings is not as good as in resin (more expensive) kits.
My  faces never look right. I will have to consult Howard on the next club night.
Here are two British Peninsular War Flank Companies. You get 16 multipurpose figures in the box.
