Hi Andy
Well Sir I'm impressed. Some fine scratching going on. Figures look nice. I did the MiniArt guy on the right as a stand alone figure. They are all nicely done.
Jim

Hi Jim,
Thanks very much.These figures are nicely done aren`t they?
I`ve used the head and hat of guy far left,and the body of the Chap next to him,as i needed a peaked hat and Uniform with no coat or weapons.Just had to cut down his neck to sit properly on the scarf and BINGO......Job done ,

Hi Andy, Looks to me, you have done a great job of reproducing both of these....your scratchery has paid high dividends and I am looking forward to the rest of this project.

Rick,
Good to see you again Sir,thanks for that,i have to admit i`m itching to get to start the Dio base already!!
Andy

Great finish Andy,
Welcome to the club of scratching...you'll find it very contagious and recurring.

Cheers,
Richard

Cheers Richard,much appreciated!
Yeah,you`re right about it being contagious/addictive....... although i feel i need more practice to join the "Club"!!

Thanks a lot Andrew,
They`re better than i expected,although,as i hinted earlier,there are a few things i`d do differently 2nd time around!

Andy,
Well done mate that is a cracking result you have achieved there.

 

[Tim Marlow]

Andy
That is a great result. Nice job on a rare subject!
By the way, spotting things you would do differently next time around is called learning

Wow! just went through it all...awesome scratch work, great dedication to detail.
I must have ADS or something cuz I could not stay so focused and loyal to such detail and attention to
accuracy...Bravo!

I'm more of an "oil painting emotionalist"

Lovely scratchwork Andy, the engine looks very good indeed.

If I was using the PC you would be awarded the DOGS , so with that in mind this is substituted




Great work Mr Smith.
Another lazy day here planned , but will spare a thought for all those of you still out in the real world.

Its hard to believe this is scratch built. Stunning work all round mate. One to be proud of.

 

[Ian M]

The Bofors I built I'm sure it had loads of ammo included.
Not to be a wet rag but I hope you get the figures to fit better than me, I gave up.

Thanks very much Tim,indeed..... every Day is a school Day!!
Yes,it is quite a rare subject piece,before i even thought of trying to scratchbuild the Searchlight i had scoured the net for a kit of one..... all i could find were the smaller Vehicle mounted type..... predominantly used on German Half Tracks.

Wouldn't we all!

HA! Yes,i`m sure i`m not the only one!

Thanks very much indeed Jim,I`m pleased that you enjoyed it,
I honestly don`t usually have the staying power that i used on this build...... it was just something that i really wanted to make,so that alone made it easy to keep on looking for solutions.

 

[JR]

Now on the PC so.


I thank you .
