Ratch Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 Someone said there were no 1/12 figures, well I'll put that right DSC_0008 by Richard Linnell, on Flickr There is a piece missing, the finial type piece on top of the helmet that holds the horsehair crest, so I'll have to scratch something 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jean Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 Hi Ratch, this is going to be a big bugger!!! Too big for me, that's for sure, but it is definitely going to be rather impressive. You are lucky it is not the trumpet that is missing! Cheers. JR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevej60 Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 Great to see a 1/12 figure in the mix Ratch looking forward to this, 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mjwomack Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 RIght, this is getting a bit Austin Powers but if I understand correctly, a gentleman in uniform wearing patent leather black thigh boots is an entrant and the first comment is, he's a bit bugger, too big for me but he hasn't lost his trumpet. Time for a song, 'Mamna told me not to come' (Three Dog Night 1970, ARC as opposed to Airfix) 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratch Posted June 10, 2018 Author Share Posted June 10, 2018 Cheers lads, here's one I did previously as a Blues and Royals (Royal Horse Guards and 1st Dragoons) 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbit Leader Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 Nice going Rattch, glad we’ve now got one of these large figures in the mix. Still missing a Motorbike or two other types, however it’s all building up to an impressive list of Airfix Classics on here. Good going ladies and gents. Cheers..

MarkSH Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 Great choice, I do remember making several of these as a kid as gifts for other family members, It'd be an interesting experience to revisit the kits again. Nice work Ratch! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratch Posted June 12, 2018 Author Share Posted June 12, 2018 Thanks Mark, the Airfix 1/12 figures are a nice set. I'd like more of them (e.g. Nelson, Wellington, Montgomery, Churchill), but I doubt we'll see their like again 😢 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ratch Posted June 12, 2018 Author Share Posted June 12, 2018 But 1/16 isn't 1/12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ventora3300 Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 (edited) This is very neat work, Ratch. Are you brush painting freehand without masking? - needs a steady hand! Edited June 12, 2018 by Ventora3300 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratch Posted June 12, 2018 Author Share Posted June 12, 2018 Yup, all paint laid down with a hairy stick and no masking tape involved 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rabbit Leader Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Very impressive Ratch. They certainly look like a good test for ones hand brushing skills, which must be very rewarding when then turn out so well. Well done mate. Cheers..
