That's a really nice collection & I do like your 1/76 vehicles.

Very nice, James... a great selection of subjects and a wide range of skills and techniques on display. The Bulldog and Citroen really do show how well old kits can polish up in the right hands. But it does slightly look as if the Humber is about to drive into the big hole while the boss is occupied staring into the far distance... 😜

best,

M.

Thanks. It’s very difficult to take good photos of even at this scale.

Nice work James!

That's a very nice collection. All good but I really like the Space Marine for the very tasty shading of the armour. Good skills!

Thanks. It was an experiment after watching some YT videos on using contrasting colours for shadows. I started with spraying a purple maroon from underneath and then the turquoise from above

Have you ever tried zenithal priming. Black all over then white from above. Then just colour in with transparent paint. It’s a quick and easy way to get half way through a painting job in an hour. Then the real work starts of course. 🙂

Many thanks. I replaced the awful kit decals with some from the Airfix Yellow Jacks and cut the flashes from decal paper.

Really good stuff there. The bulldog and Bobs Fett stand out for me
