Cheers Joe.
Six finished and 10 more work in progress.
Now it's looking like this is going to be a biggy and not the half dozen figure display I initially planned I need to take stock and work out exactly which figures I'm going to use and how big a base I'm going to need.

Thank you Francesco.
Somewhere to put it when it's finished could be a problem but I aren't going to worry about that just yet.

First of the infantry figures. I haven't decided on a uniform colour yet but from what research I've done I'm leaning towards blue.






Early stages on three Pancerni.



An Officer, not sure where he's going to fit in to the plan but I like the look of him.

 

[Viking Bob]

Well Roger, you are a braver man than I. My only flat is mounted in a frame on the wall, your one will take quite a section of wall if you carry on.
Great stuff

Thanks Bob. I don't know how big a base I'm going to need for these I'm just ploughing on and enjoying them at the moment.

 

[Viking Bob]

Enjoy the moment!

I'll fetch 'em up to Darlo next week Richie.
I'm keeping my plans under close wraps for now but when it's finished she'll be so impressed it'll be given pride of place somewhere in the house. Yes, I am an optimistic kind of bloke.

Thanks very much Ian. If all goes to plan you should see the finished display at S&L 2017.

Beautiful collection, Roger. They look very precise in detail, considering the size.

Thank you Eduardo.
These figures really are beautifully engraved. Engravings like these really do make the painters job so much easier.

 

[billyturnip]

Today I've done some more work on these two Pancerni. There's still quite a bit of highlighting to do on them but that's a job for tomorrow.

 

[billyturnip]

Another one completed.



Progress on the musicians. These are proving the most difficult so far and there's still a lot to do on them.

 

[Dan Morton]

Having known a number of musicians, I'm not a bit surprised you are having difficulty with them.

Some really fine painting by the way!

All the best,
Dan

 

[billyturnip]

Thanks Dan.
It's that drum cover thing that's giving me problems, I'll get there though.

Its not a ' Drum cover thing'
Its his mum's best table cloth.
