Modelling World War 1

Unfortunately I have had to visit the carpet monster a few times, on my knees running my hands across the floor trying to find those elusive pieces.

Coming along slowly.
Some nice bits of etched brass, like Tony said about ships, there was only the brass and no plastic alternative.

Nice looking brass, pity Trumpeter can't do the same.

An interesting subject young Zak..................

Glad to see the carpet monster lost out this time. The brass looks pretty good too.

Nice front gun, fairly quick progress then and eventually some undercoat applied.

Hi Zak,
Looking good, are you entering your 'blue period' now, and leaving the khaki behind?

Unusual nonetheless.................................

I may have to tone that down a bit.

[Haddock]

Looking impressive, the blue is a bit "in yer face " though, might look better when it's dirty.

Toned down the blue, just had a coat of clear ready fro decal application, some dry brushing done on rivets and raised detail.

While things dry I have been working on my rail gun, no I hadn't forgotten about it. Basic painting almost complete.
