Completed Airfix 54mm French Line Infantry

[Merryweather]

Nice work on the details, I really like the animation of fusilier 5. I hope the painting goes well......

Many thanks ,Nigel.
It's been so long I will probably have to re-learn stuff!

Excellent work.. Its making me keen to get another Airfix kit out of the stash and have a play... I'm not brave enough to take on what you have done tho..

Thanks Warren-go on ,you know you want to!

Really nice work - I love the manipulation of the figures to get the different poses, I have tried to do similar with my 28mm but by heating with a hair dryer then bending when the plastic is softer.

I'm enjoying watching what you do with those 28mm boys. I hate to see poses repeated too many times in a large diorama like yours -you're doing a great job of creating variety.

Nice to see your work. I do a lot of conversion work myself and it’s always good to see how other modellers fix the problems. I also use a lot of the Airfix figures.

Look forward to seeing more on this project

I just admire anyone who can do this

Happy benchtime

Many thanks Dutch, it's good to know I'm not alone. I have loads of Airfix figures still to use up, just no time yet,but I have plans....

Well, dang me! I'm not a sculptor, but I will make alterations from time to time. So, what I'm seeing is a compete dio done from scratch, which not many of us can do, but your results are excellent. Keep at it, I'm really enjoying what I see here. I wish I could sculpt my own, but that is not to be, so we Ruck On!

Let er rip, this looks great to me!

I am pleased to announce that paint has been flung!
Actually most of fusilier 4 was already painted, I just needed to knuckle down and finish him, and I have finally done it, yay!

All I have to do now is keep up the momentum in spite of all the real life stuff going on....
thanks for looking

Thanks everyone for the encouragement.
I'm always nervous about posting my painting efforts on this site full of masters, so it really does help.
Thanks again
