What's on the Bench 2023

[Jim R]

Si - love the finish on that Subaru
Neil - well done with the married couple. The bride and groom must be happy.

 

[Tim Marlow]

Well, after a couple of aircraft and an ambulance……


They’re back…….
28mm Northstar plastic orcs from the Oathmark range. They’ve been primed for about three months so I gave them the Zenitel treatment today…..very nice sculpts, probably the best in the range so far. Looking forward to painting them

Finally got round to spraying the Subaru RC shell yesterday.

Been a long time since I’ve done one of these but please to say it’s turned out very nicely, can’t wait to get it on some gravel for a blast around View attachment 490853

Looking good Si! Hope all is well with you!

Nice bunch of wee folks Tim.... should keep you busy for awhile.

About a month ago I posted pictures of a generator that I'd painted for a mate here

Well he finally collected it tonight and has sent these pictures. Colour match isn't too shabby to say I was working from a picture lol

 

[Si Benson]

A few on the go at the mo

These are Zvezda 1/100 which I brought duplicate kits for me and my daughter to paint. Little one had a great time painting hers as she saw fit and I’ve really enjoyed painting mine too.


Im going to try and make some little vignette bases for them once I’ve finished paining and weathering.

 

[Mini Me]

Those turned out exceptionally well Si! Looking forward to the Vignette bases.

 

[Tim Marlow]

Looking good Si. Which one did your daughter paint?

 

[Si Benson]

The two in the pictures are both by my hand.

Little one was given my old war hammer paints set and free rein, so are a little more colourful and creative … shall we say

Well today has been the ultimate mojo killer:

Pretty happy with the WIP on the first two


Was happy with the Carrier until the tracks snapped:


And to top it all off I decide to drop the base I was aiming to put them on:

 

[Niho]

Presently, two Sovereign 2000, some Resicast and Gecko British figures. Here are the Sovereign

 

[Andy the Sheep]

Slowly crawling towards the end. Hope next time will be in the completed military vehicles section.

Was happy with the Carrier until the tracks snapped:

The good part there is that you can fix it fairly easily by pulling the track around until the break is behind the mudguard.

Unfortunately, the mudguard is already hiding the initial, and very untidy, join.

 

[Steve Brodie]

Ignis Art 1/10th (how they get that scale on a fantasy figure i dont know) Borowy. He has been air brushed to apply the colour graduations, using Scale75 Artist Tube Acrylics. On to adding highlights on the leaves on the trees at the back, bit more glazing and touching up areas were the airbrush has missed. then fixing his eyes.

That will make it a lot harder, yes … Pull the ends together with thread and stick some mud on it?

It will have to be something like that. Probably buried into a base, but not exactly what I had planned initially.

I haven't posted anything for a while, been busy 3D printing stuff for people. but my latest project is a model for a local architect, for which I have created a digital model from their 2D plans with a view to 3D printing most of it.
Here's the digital model-the scale is 1-60 to fit on a plinth they already have.




and here's the sample I made of a small section, to test the brick pattern and get their approval of the colours.


A few tweaks required but we're good to go with the whole thing now. It will have lights so I've got to sort out the gaps around the window frames.
Incidentally , my airbrush died so it's all sprayed with rattle cans! They like it so I'm going with that for the finished article

....And if anyone wants any brick walls, in any scale, I'm your man

Hi Neil, nice stuff. I have a question as this has happened the second time seeing it. The other is from my kitchen designers drawings. Are the images in perspective or is this the norm for 3D drawings, the vanishing point seems to come at you and not away into the horizon. I thought it was very Dali like...distorted. Even the base is on a slope...is there a slope?

Baffled,
