What's on the Bench? 2021

[Tim Marlow]

Great job Tim. I assume these will be part of a gaming army?

John

Yep, that’s right John. I’m slowly building up forces to oppose the Goblins I was posting before…..I’ve got several boxes of Dwarves and Elves to work through, along with a couple of boxes of men to go with either side as required….along with many other projects that get moved on occasionally
Thanks for the compliment as well….

 

[minitnkr]

Well done Tim. Rugged little b....rs, those Dwarves. Dwarves & Hobbits, did I miss the Elves?

Hi all
As usual my bench has figures on it…..

North Star Oathmark 28mm plastic lawn ornaments have just been finished…

Usual techniques and a hand painted flag….
The scale shot…..

They are a little shorted than humans from the same range, but not by much….complicated shields by LBMS, others by me….

Next up, 28mm hobbit slingers (metal figures, limited poses)….and more lawn ornaments, this time with hand weapons rather than pikes….

Thanks Paul. Not done the Elves yet, got a box to work on. Always thought they were snooty though….

Thanks Andy. Great comment!

Mr. Marlow,

You never cease to amaze us with these beautifully done (but too damn small) figures. You have a natural talent for painting these and the colors are always spot on. I don't know much about these type of figures, but what you do and how they look when you're done is utterly fantastic in my eyes Tim.........Really cool stuff!!!

Prost

Thanks for the support Mark, glad you like them.

Snooty but effective.

 

[Tim Marlow]

Snooty but effective.

I always think of them as “effective, and don’t they just know it……”

I’m so burned out again waiting on this paint to get here for my Millitary Models so instead of letting the Mojo die I’ve decided to keep my HO Layout and regroup on it. So these are on the bench being worked on at the moment. I’m almost done with the Scraper an the Six Truck Flatcar. The Boxcars will be getting new Trucks and new Couplers.

Nice!!!!

 

[Tim Marlow]

Good stuff there Lee. Glad you are keeping it

I like that scraper Lee. I started my working life as a plant mechanic and we had a towed scraper to go behind a Caterpillar. For some reason it was known as an 'onion box'.

Some good memories, but I soon realised I didn't want to do that as a long term career....

[Mini Me]

Hi Lee.........love that scraper....if I had to guess I'd say it's a ROCO model. Now you are in a scale setting I can truly identify with. What kind of Motive Power are you using on the HO layout? Is it set in a particular period of time or adhoc?
