Tree sap lol. Just kidding. My Brothers used Pactra.1959! What glue do you use on bakelite?
I bet you saw that scratched into a cave wall back in the day!Tree sap.... TREE SAP....?!!
Bloody modern cop outs...
Plant Gum and Red Ochre is the way to go obviously
Not "Back in the day" Rick...I bet you saw that scratched into a cave wall back in the day!
I'm struggling to find a model. I'm sure I will as there is plenty of time but not having a stash means I'm looking for something to buy.Been hunting for a victim for this. I must be doing it wrong. Having an idea then finding the kit is proving hard. Maybe I should try it the other way around.
"Are You entertained?" I hear being called from the arena.He is Maximus Decimus Meridius, commander of the armies of the north, general of the felix legions and loyal servant to the true emperor Marcus Aurelius. Father to a murdered son and husband to a murdered wife. And he will be painted, in this life or the next…..
Oi! I was going to use that quote during the paint (can’t call it a build, he’s only made from four parts). Never mind, there are plenty of others….."Are You entertained?" I hear being called from the arena.
Oh we will be.
He's looks like Jack Aubrey, maybe a conversion.......Slight change of angle from me. My carpet monster seems to have eaten my Young miniatures bust of Lucky Jack Aubrey. I know I’ve got him, but I don’t know where he is…..
I’ll therefore go for the back up option…..

Good idea….all he needs is a different hairstyle, new shirt and jacket, proper naval sword, epaulettes, gold braid…….and a new hat……simples!He's looks like Jack Aubrey, maybe a conversion.......
Yep, he got it pretty much spot on to the film hasn’t he……only variable I can see is that he’s banded the vertical shoulder plates in brass…..they are just made from iron in the film.….no banding……Good choice Tim. Mind you with box art by the great Kirill, ..........
