Would anyone be able to suggest a Vallejo acrylic mix for the Lovat Green No.2 dress uniforms as worn by the Royal Marines & Womens’ Royal Army Corps during the 1970s/1980s? I have a commission figure to paint of a WRAC Provost NCO, & am leaning towards a German Field Grey/German Camo Beige...

Finished painting this little guy this afternoon, Vallejo acrylics & inks used throughout. All he needs now is an overall matt coat tomorrow to blend in the washes. This was my first attempt at painting W-SS peas pattern camo, I followed Calvin Tan's method & found it an enjoyable experience...

Reposting..... Here's my latest completed work, Alpine Miniatures 1/35 resin. Painted with Vallejo acrylics. He's not mounted on a base because he will be a crew figure for Tamiya's 1/35 Hummel SP gun. Apologies for the photo quality, I'm experimenting with a new phone camera here..... All...

I've just found out via BBC News that the great Terry Jones of Monty Python fame has died at the age of 77. Rest in peace Terry, you were one of the funniest comedians ever & the director of one of my favourite films of all time, The Life of Brian. Funniest line: "He's not the Messiah, he's a...

My latest completed work, a Lieutenant of the 2nd Green Howards at the Menin Crossroads, October 1914. Painted with Vallejo & AK acrylics. All comments welcome! Could one of the Mods please rotate the images for me? When I viewed them on my PC prior to submission they were properly...

I was looking at Historex Agents’ site yesterday, & noted that Art Girona have released a 70mm white metal figure of a Welsh Guards Sergeant serving with the BEF in France 1940. The site only had one small photo of the figure, which is depicted standing on a wooden deck with a section of ship’s...

Last one for today. I completed this Verlinden bust about 2 years ago now, but only just got around to having it photographed. Finish was oils over Tamiya acrylic for the flesh tones, base for the uniform was Tamiya acrylic with Humbrol enamel highlights & the rest of the detail painting done in...

Here's 3 images of another latest completed work, Stormtroopers 120mm British Para Corporal at Arnhem. I bought this figure in 2005, & believe it's now deleted from their catalogue. The figure & base were painted entirely using Vallejo acrylics, apart from the metalwork on the MP40 which was Rub...

Here's my first posting of completed work, Young's WW1 German Stormtrooper bust. I thoroughly enjoyed painting it, & the photos were taken by my wife, who is much better at digital photography than I will ever be. Comments welcome (standing by for incoming). Cheers, Chris.

Hi All, Just been informed by Historex Agents that they're despatching a figure to me which has been out of stock for some time, 54mm WW1 Saxon Divisional Stormtrooper by Jon Smith Modellbau. I'd ordered this figure on spec without seeing what it looks like, as I've got a couple of other JS...

Hi All, I'm new to this forum & wondered if anyone has any suggestions for a Vallejo Model Colour paint mix for French Horizon Blue for WW1 uniforms? I've looked through their colour chart & can't find a ready-mixed shade. I'm aware that Horizon Blue varies in shade from almost sky blue to a...
