Breaking War 28mm Tercios Veteran Painting Swap

Hello again to all that look at my Blog.

Here we have a figure I received in a Painting Swap from Juan Carlos in Spain.
Its from Breaking War Miniatures in 28mm and of a Tercios Veteran.

Basically, I painted his figure and he painted mine then we swap back, I have seen pictures of mine and it looks good.

Anyhow its that time of year again to wish everyone that takes time to look at my Blog a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Thanks for looking and any comments are welcome.

FeR Miniatures 75mm Confederate Infantry Officer Southern Pride

Again, sorry for delay in my next post, due to holidays etc and obviously having to make and paint the model.
Anyhow,  here we are with my latest, it is by FeR miniatures in 75mm and called Southern Pride.
Its a very nicely sculpted model in resin,  of a battle  weary looking Infantry Officer, that's how I saw him, so that's how I painted him. He is painted in acrylics and again I used N.M.M. for gold etc

I bought the model in Edinburgh at the Scale model show, which turned out better than I thought it would be.

Any comments or questions are most welcome and thanks for looking at my Blog.

Kamikaze Pilot Bust 1:10 from Andrea Miniatures

Hello again to all,  that take time to look at my models on this Blog.

This is a little bit different for me as its the first Bust I have ever done and the subject matter is not really my period and I probably would never have bought it.
I acquired this with other models  in a trade for one of my painted dioramas, thanks again Ade, I really enjoyed working on this and it shows that a change is as good as a rest sometimes.

Its of a World War 2 Japanese Kamikaze { Divine Wind }  pilot from Andrea Miniatures in 1:10 scale.

Thanks again for looking and any comments or questions are most welcome.

Andrea Miniatures 54mm Mounted US Cavalryman On the Trail S4-S3

Having just finished this I took pictures of it at same time as my last post of Attack Diorama.
Its of a 54mm mounted US Cavalryman 1880,  entitled On The Trail by Andrea Miniatures from Spain.
Again I shall let the pictures do the talking.

Any comments or questions are most welcome and thanks for looking.

Masterbox 1/35 "Attack" 8th Pennsylvania Cavalry 89th Regiment at Battle of Chancellorsville Competed Diorama

Hello again to all, its been a while since last post but I have eventually found time to take snaps of the finished item which has been sitting in display case for a while.
Its the masterbox figures placed together as a diorama and I am happy enough with results.
Any comments or questions are most welcome and thanks for looking,  Michael.

John Wayne as Rooster Cogburn in 54mm from Tiny Troopers True grit

I decided to rake out this very old model by Mike French from Tiny Troopers in 54mm, which has a fantastic likeness to John Wayne.
There were only 4 parts to build so most time was spent painting, but because its a great sculpt the paint went on very easily.
The original True Grit film is my favourite of the 2 versions, the newer one being okay.
All done in Acrylics and N.M.M. for metalwork.
Anyhow thanks for looking and any questions or comments are most welcome.

Masterbox 1/35 "Attack" 8th Pennsylvania Cavalry 89th Regiment at Battle of Chancellorsville

I have finished building and painting these figures from Masterbox, but not decided exactly how the diorama will look like yet.
Considering these are plastic multipart models they turned out rather well and at about £10 for the box they were a bargain. Though they were not easy to build etc and having patience helped, some parts were very small and fiddly.
I would not recommend these for a novice, but I did pin most parts together.
All work done in Acrylics and NMM, the Guidon is also hand painted.

I have included a comparison picture with a Foundry 40mm CSA Officer to show the scale, which I painted several years ago, also showing a change in my painting style.
Please excuse the shadows on photos, again these were taken by my phone.
Thanks for looking and any comments or questions are most welcome.
