WW1 artilleryman

 Ww1 Artilleryman 

A bit of a change this week, a large scale figure to add to the display cabinet. Not sure of the maker, but a nicely proportioned miniature.

Sopwith Triplane

 Sopwith Triplane 

An addition to my Canvas eagles collection, a Revell 1/72 scale miniature. A reasonably simple build out of the box. Airbrushed first then a wash, followed by a brush highlight to achieve the painted canvas dragged painted, decals were a little old, and were a little difficult with the red circle being separate.

Medieval additions

 Medieval Additions 

A few small pieces off the table, two War of the Roses command pieces and a medieval siege machine. The figures are from Perry and the siege machine crew are from foundry, not sure where the trebuchet is from.

Saab Drakker wip

 Saab Draken wip part 1

A relaxing afternoon after Gardening all day I decided to put a kit together in my stash. I selected a simple Airfix 1/72 Drakken to build. I will build this straight of the box ready for my Swedish Cold War project. 

As always I paint my pilot and interior first before assembly, all together tonight ready for paint next week

Medieval farm and buildings

 Medieval bits 

First up a few buildings from Tabletop Workshop plastic 28mm range to add to my medieval building collection. 

I spackle finish (pre mixed plaster) the gaps between the collombage. I mask the collombage (paint on mask all) then add the plaster, let set a little, go back and then dapple with a tooth brush to give it texture and to hide the tabs that they come with. I then undercoat and paint with artist acrylics , then add washes etc. I have also done some interior work as I can then use them for skirmish gaming. 

When I complete my castle build later this year they will be put on village bases that slot onto the castle board for instant city scape. 

Farm out building
