Wow, this looks fantastic Richie! Since my attention span rivals that of a 3 year old, I can only dream of projects like this.

Looking forward to more.

Cheers,
Ken

Hi Ken,
Thank you for joining in mate, after seeing you tackle Masterbox figures and the results you got I'm definitely in this for the long hall.
You turn 4 or 5 of these figures around pretty quickly, all you have to do is multiply by 14 or so.
cheers
Richie

Looking good Richie, nice conversions, gonna look good in their Dennisons, need as many Maroon Berets as possible.

Cheers Simon

Hi Simon,
Thank you, yes need a few more I agree.

Hi Nap,
This is what I have missed making something unique for me instead of casting all the time.
I am enjoying this and it is getting my modelling mojo back.

Hi All,
Last update for a while, this is the latest custom figure I have completed today a Para unloading a MK5 with fury.
cheers
Richie

 

[Briggsy]

Cracking figure, the plastic figures are really good for converting and creating unique pieces.

Cheers Simon

Hi Simon,

Hi All,
Another couple of custom Para's done, a bit of clean up and some equipment to add but more or less done.
The running Para will be coming out of the doorway to support the front barricade. The kneeling Para
firing will go in one of the windows.

I would like to thank Steve Readdie for a heads up on these two books, they are stunning approx. 1500
pages between the two and absolutely packed with photo's. Well worth the money.

Thirdly I have decided on a disembarkation project....go big or go home. So I have purchased these
Para armour kits, also looking at getting a Horsa glider to compliment these.

cheers
Richie

 

[1969]

You really are going big with that lot mate, some excellent kits there and lots of possibilities especially with the glider.
Figures are coming along nicely, like the Bren gunner especially.
Cheers mate
Steve

 

[Briggsy]

I think it's safe to say that you are completely bonkers! It's going to be epic but where the hell are you going to keep it? The figures look great, don't forget all the spent brass.

Cheers Simon

 

[Helm]

Christ on a bike, Richie are you living in a mansion? You'll need a room just for this lot, excellent mate

[Steve Ski]

Excellent, Richie, this is starting to shape up great.
