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.

Camerone 30th April 1863 - Last stand Diorama completed 54mm French Foreign Legion

Yes,  at last I have completed this diorama, of the Last stand at Camerone by the French Foreign Legion on the 30th April 1863 in Mexico.
As stated before it is a Pegaso Elite kit in 54mm.
Again I wont bore you with historical details, but it is an interesting story so take a look elsewhere for what happened on this day.
The pictures are again taken with my phone and it was a struggle to get all figures into focus, I think they turned out not too bad.

Thanks for looking.
Any questions or comments are most welcome,  Michael.

28mm Wargames Illustrated Prince Rupert Wargames Foundry limited Edition

Back again and back to a smaller scale figure.  Having been at Targe 2014 in Kirriemuir it put me back into the smaller scale stuff.
So I raked out this old figure of Prince Rupert in 28mm by Wargames Foundry, a nicely sculpted, limited Edition 2 piece figure.
It was a quicker paint than usual,  probably because  the ECW  has never been my cup of tea.
It will probably be back to a larger scale for my next project.
Thanks for looking and any comments or questions are most welcome.

Napoleon King of Italy 54mm Aitna Models Stibbert Museum

Hello again to all that take a look at my Blog and to those that occasionally leave a comment, both are very much appreciated.
I have gone back to a larger model this time, it being of Napoleon King of Italy by Aitna Models of Italy,  in 54mm scale.
 It is based on the actual costume which is on display in the Stibbert Museum in Florence, Italy.
All paintwork is as always in Acrylic and NMM used for gold etc.
Any comments or questions are most welcome,  Michael.

 

28mm Graven Images Dwarf Champion with 2 handed Axe

Hello again.

I picked up this figure 2nd hand a few months back, having been attracted to it mainly because of the lionskin.  Once the blister was opened and I looked over the figure I found it to be very well sculpted and proportioned.
This is the first Graven sculpt I have painted, but will keep my eye out for others.

Photo still taken by my phone.  Any comments or questions are most welcome.

Michael.
