Nice work John - like the way you've daubed the tyres in particular.

 

[Steve Jones]

Well the hairy sick certainly got an outing on this one. Very realistic indeed. Once its all toned down with the weathering it will look the DB's. Made a start on the figures yet??

John,
Great work, as Peter said, I liked the idea of dabbing whitewash on the tyres.
Cheers, Mike.

Hi John, nice coat of white wash. The field applicator must have had fun doing it.

Cheers,
Richard

 

[Lee Drennen]

Thanks John it was slot of fun a little scary at first but once it started blending it was easy

Happened by chance Peter, slight slip on one mudguard, then thought ," oh , well that looks ok " , and slapped more on .
Can think they didn't do that, but quite honestly not looked at many actual photos

Thanks Steve, and picked out a pretty worn one at that .

Oh he did indeed, was probably thinking of slapping the political officer as he did it !

Good for you Lee, I will have a search later

Good evening, I've been sorting out my box of body bits, now have legs, arms, left and right in separate zip bags.
The same goes for the torsos, including splitting up Russian from German where I could reconise. Built up some figures for a build that is going to appear quite soon, but not until this and the T38 are finished . Waiting for PI & S to kindly send me some more water mix.
Right back to the job in hand, I recently bought some figured in, I've found from a MiniArt box a perfect pose for one , it's a Russian Officer standing looking down at this watch, this coupled with the two other crew men attempting to repair the engine.
This where I've got up too, no heads as might pick out some Hornet.
The car has been varnished, and it looks a bit lighter, the white wash seems to have toned down .





Meanwhile the cave has been invaded by the phantom planter again.




I have been informed by Senior Management that they , the two dogs , have been there for 3 weeks. To think that this morning I had put a build in front of the last one and not even seen it !

C and C always welcome.
Thanks for looking in .
John .

Naughty Gromit
This is coming together nicely now John, the white wash has toned down well. Are you planning on doing any oil stuff on this one?

 

[MikeC]

Oooooohhhhh that is going to hurt his shin if he slips of that front fender in those icy conditions.....
And you think you have trouble with Gromitt and Shep.....


Not only that but........

At least I know my place in the home - Bonio anybody ?
Cheers, Mike.

Thanks Si , oils yes, but not over the top though, more dirty snow to the running boards, and lower sections only. Thought about a snow covered road with some tyre tracks and few back ground bare trees. .

Ha to both ! Yes Stalin will be cursed alright, but if he stands there long enough his boots soles will freeze to the fender ! The photo reminds me of attempting to share a bed with Mrs R and Gertie our beloved late Doberman. To wake up with a large Dober dog lying upside down with it's legs sticking up in the air looking you straight in the eye , breathing that foul dog breath on to you is some thing I remember well. I often though It was a hint I should sleep elsewhere !

LOL, yes I still get that early morning breath, Nell, the one under the quilt lays flat on her back with all legs stretched fore and aft

JR, the Rooskies are just as I had imagined they would be! Congrats on a fine selection for your latest effort. Looking forward to seeing the final results. Cheers, Rick H.

Thanks Rick, I bought the MiniArt figures of the guys pushing a truck, I could see that with a little help two could fit the scene.

You are turning into the master craftsman with your figure work mate. Very impressive. If you are looking for heads PDiddy has several thousand around his house. The police thought he was the shrunken head collector of old Kentish Town until they realised they were plastic. LOL

 

[Neil Merryweather]

Those figures are looking very promising,John, good poses.

Hi John
Whitewash does look good. Figures work really well.
Very proud of you for being so "tidy" with the body parts.

I have been informed by Senior Management that they , the two dogs , have been there for 3 weeks. To think that this morning I had put a build in front of the last one and not even seen it !

I was thinking that you might be trying for membership of the TBC but then read the above - oh dear John. Your old ways prevail

[Lee Drennen]

Commander Race I agree with Jim looks like your out of your comfort zone and doing well lots of changes at the Race towers

Great job Dzohn. PaulE

Do you want cash or cheque, please advise. Thanks Steve , bit of arm setting changed, and one hand cut off and re fitted in a different angle. The times they fell off the car while I tried the arm at the different angles nearly drove me SANE !
As for Mr P Diddy and his heads, I don't want the police battering down my front door thinking I've joined the notorious PDiddy gang !

Those figures are looking very promising,John, good poses.

Thanks Neil, managed it with out having to rely on drilling / wire use, actually used some CA with some baking powder. Seems to have worked, tomorrow I should find out when I come to sand .

Thanks Jim, well they were all in one ex Flora tub. I got so feed up with sorting them out every time I asked Management for some ziplock bags, of course she had some lurking in drawer. Now it's so easy. Sorry to have disappointed you, failed again .

Lee, I do have mad moments when I'm really tidy at the bench, but them it desends into chaos . Unlike my filing which is and I say so my self is fantastic ! When you have a tax inspection at home and the revenue inspector compliments you on your accounts with " You missed your vocation, you should have been an accountant ! " Probably the nicest thing I have been told ! Nerds Rule ! I had enlightened her with the offer of looking at my consumables list with 37 sub divisions, where upon she declined ! Oh Happy day it was .

Great job Dzohn. PaulE

Thank you Paul, I took a photo esp for you today, " crap in the back " in a posting about a visit .
