Thanks Jim, tbh I was a bit squimish sanding away her left breast to fit the pot. It had to be snug against her hip.

Today I got to build up another two more figures. I find this set of MB figures have really natural poses and fit well.
I will be adding shoes on their feet and the rear boy will have shorts and will carry the bucket once I've done the shorts and added the handle.
Just getting the poses ready before puttying and sculpting.

Is it a 'proper' one, or one of the modern ones? Which make of sidecar is it?

Those figures look good, liking the patch on the knee of the child at the back, nice little touch by the manufacturer (pity that it's going in a way!) as you say, they've got some natural poses.

Thanks Gerry, you win some and lose some like the old lady has a great pose pouring contents of a jug into a cup but I needed her to be waiting in a que and hugging a pot. The French living in towns still managed to dress well in Normandy so converting Russian peasants garments unfortunately is also needed. I only hope I get it right.

Hi Laurie, missed your post. Thanks. Just trying a scene that's frequently seen in devastated towns liberated by the Allies but seldom done up.

They are looking really good Richard. Love bored kid with his hands in his pockets!
Nice retro bike Christopher. Looks really “Wallace and Gromit”! Is that front mudguard number plate stand legal though? I thought they were outlawed in about 1974.

Front plates are only 'not required' over here, not illegal (had one fitted to a '79 'semi-custom' for years no problems) not sure about the states rulings on them though.

Gerry, I hope I have your confidence as I have trouble convincing myself at every new build. My fault too cos by the time I finish and start a new one, it's taken so long that I've forgotten what I did at the beginning. The skill is there but the technique needs referral everytime.
Cheers,

Which is why I like forums - the techniques are recorded, and can be found quite easily

Hi, I've been stuck for a while when I read that Fireflies didn't have applique armor because of the way they stowed their shells. But I remembered seeing a picture of one VC with it including the plate in front of the driver and co-drivers station. This occurred when I was about to add the cheek applique to the turret. After scouring my references I found the pic. But there is no evidence of the cheek applique. Then I realised I had puttied over what apparently is a rare resin direct vision version of the early Sherman from Verlinden....der. Anyway I wanted this for the Firefly.
Cheers.
Richard
