  1. Got the C-47's fuselage complete, after a gloss coat, Tamiya black liner was used around the door and internal structures, then using the oil dot technique, subtle shades were added to the external skin, then a coat of matt varnish and finally dust and dark mud pigments were added; Now the simple job is over, its on to the jumper;
  2. looking good, amazing how the details pop after a coat of primer
  3. Very nice work, may have lost a bit of paint on the tip of his nose - photo 5 ?
  4. Picked up this set from DF Military Figures stand at SMW last weekend, there models are, in my view, superb and well worth the money charged. Royal Horse Artillery at waterloo. Kit is available here - https://www.dfmilitaryfigures.co.uk/shop/?store-page=Royal-Horse-Artillery-Gun-Crew-Set-p543910601 There is also a mounted figure of Alexander Mercer giving the order to fire the cannons, Alexander Mercer was commander of G Troop Royal Horse Artillery in the thick of the fighting at the Battle of Waterloo. His six-gun horse artillery troop arrived too late for the Battle of Quatre Bras, but it fought with the cavalry rearguard covering the army's retreat to Waterloo. I think i will be purchasing him to add to the scene at a later date. He can be purchased here - https://www.dfmilitaryfigures.co.uk/shop?store-page=Mounted-Mercer-p551376442 Anyway the kit is made of metal parts, for the cannon, limber and some body parts and the figures in resin; This is a built up version on the DF web page; So far i have just got a few bits of the cannon put together;
  5. Picked up this chap from SMW at the weekend, MMM 120mm Drop Order - Available here https://www.mitchesmilitarymodels.co.uk/product-page/120mm-us-airborne-normandy-1944 Comes well packed in the trademark black cardboard box with a print of the item on the front; I have removed all the pour stubs and cleaned all the parts; You have the choice of two sets of arms with different badges for the left arm and a 'flagged' or non 'flagged right arm. Here he is put together; He has a very determined look on his face, not sure if the lump over his left eye is supposed to be there or not; Helmet strap is nicely produced as well; The big part of the kit the door and bit of fuselage, floor and internal beams for the floor; The floor, side and beams glued together and the soldier just put in place; fuselage section is now off for a bath and then primer and colours to be added
  6. Finished this excellent bust of Gustavo Fring, just after he was blown up by his rival Don Hector Salamanca, who not surprisingly also died in the explosion. Painted in Oils A couple of reference shots;
  7. Started on the dappling (right side), not sure if to go all over the throat though, got the left side to do. Some white spots are still drying out
  8. Got some oils on the horse, just a pallette mix of Mars black, Titanium White and Yellow Ochre. Lows and mids painted, so need to add some white highlights probably in a couple of days but going to leave this one as a grey though. While he is drying i will get 'Burthes' mount painted.
  9. I have had the Colonel Burthe 4th Hussars bust for a while and picked up the Hussar Trumpeter recently at SMW2021, just need the Eagle Bearer to complete the trio and mount them all together. Think this will be a long project, so may intersperse with other projects. Burthe's horse was painted with the airbrush using Vallejo Air acrlyics, Trumpeters horse has had the basic areas defined, also witht the airbrush - this is because i will finish him using oils, and will do the same with Burthe's steed. Both faces have had a base colour airbrushed with Tamiya Flesh/flat brown and highlights with white added;
