Thanks Steve & Lee.

The antenna got primed and painted pretty much straight away. I wanted it done so I could hide it somewhere safe rather than plonking something on top of it lol.

If I can't find it when the time comes, it's right at the back of my top shelf :smiling5:

This baby is really taking on a great look Andy! Nice layout, good looking figures and that antenna, it's the hammer!!! You are definitely living up to your name Scratchy. Take a bow Sir, you deserve it.....

Prost
Allen

PS, Drink a cold one to celebrate your fine work too!!!

Cheers Allen, glad you like it.

I've primed up a couple more bits but am now taking a break for a few days. An hour at most in a cold shed after work is not my idea of fun, especially now the nights are so dark.

I'm hoping to relocate to a room in the house while I do all of the brush painting. Trouble is, the wife is in the middle of restoring a 1960's Parker Knoll easy chair, so I'll have to share the space with a load of sandpaper, Danish oil, foam, fabric and Lord knows what else :smiling2:

Great work with the PE there Andy, if working alongside the wife and upholstery you will need to watch out for the dreaded fluff on the paintwork.
:smiling5:

Hi Andy
Well done with the antenna. Very neat. I share a workroom with my wife. She is into all things sewing and knitting. Fluff is a constant problem :smiling5:

Ironically, the medic is my first victim.

I tried to vary the camo colours and pattern a little between various items of clothing and equipment, but at a normal viewing distance, and in the blurry pictures, it's not really noticeable.

Thanks Paul & Andrew.

He'll probably be the best of the bunch as I'm likely to get bored part way through and rush the others :smiling5:

I still have the decals to add too, including tiny ones for the medic pouches, but I'll probably do all of the figures in one go.

Great work Andy, wish I had the courage to try figures.

Cheers Andy.

I've avoided them for long enough too, so I just set my sights really low and cracked on :smiling5:

The casualty is nearly done now, I just want to lighten his skin tone a bit to make him look "poorly", and the driver is well on his way too.
