1/12 Airfix London Icons

[AndyC]

A bit of a change of pace and quite a challenge as it tuned out. I am NOT a figure painter/modeller normally but I bought these on-line as a make-weight on another order to get the postage up to the free threshold.

They all took a lot of sanding and filler and the detail painting drove me potty in places! Especially the Beefeater - all that black and gold. They aren't perfect and all have a look as though they have had a poker inserted where the sun don't shine...but I'm pleased with them although I never want to see Humbrol 174 ever again!

Here are the pics...the Lifeguard Trumpeter

The Coldstream Guardsman - the detail white on this took a steady hand. I will add his pinstripe using red decal. He also needs a rifle sling adding in tape as I lost the kit part.

Lastly the Beefeater

And all together...

Thanks for looking! All comments welcomed!
