Hi lads,
Thank you. After a day of rest I have sited the trees and started to bulk them out also done the groundwork earth today.
I will let everything fully dry and harden up as the trees are starting to get fiddley and I need things secure.
cheers
Richie

Hi Simon,
The trees need to be undercoated they are white as that is the colour of the texturing paste to create the bark effect.
Yes it is sea foam for the branches.

Hi All,
Everything looks always looks better in a uniform undercoat.
Cheers Richie

 

[Briggsy]

Looks good altogether with the figures, I realise they needed painting, I've just got a weird sense of humour sometimes. By the time it's all painted with foliage and grass etc it will be very atmospheric.

Cheers Simon

Hi All,
Started to lay colours down on the groundwork and trees, also got my first Polish Para finished and sited. Hoping to get another 2 0r 3 finished before the end of the week.
cheers
Richie

 

[Briggsy]

Trees and ground a looking nice, already they have the right feel, if you know what I mean, the Polish Para looks good too.

Cheers Simon

Hi All,
I would like to give a massive shout out and thank you to Neil. He's been a part of this thread from the beginning and when I
asked if anyone knew a source for 1/35 British mess tins he messaged me.
What was outstanding and so generous was he did not have any stock, but he sculpted and printed me some...well they arrived in the post
today and they are superb and just what I was looking for.
Thank you again to a very talented gent
cheers
Richie

 

[NigelR]

More excellent progress, keep going!

 

[Merryweather]

Cheers Richie you're very welcome. I forgot to mention that I prefer to use fine nippers rather than a scalpel to remove the supports....
Best

[Briggsy]

Awesome, mini mess tins.

Cheers Simon

 

[Richie]

Hi Nigel, Neil, Simon,
Thank you. Yes the mess tins will just add that little bit extra.

Hi All,
I'm now a third way through the Polish Para's and really enjoying it. The 4 are sited and fixed with a bit extra fauna.
cheers
Richie

 

[Briggsy]

Nice, the diorama is really coming together, quite amazing how fast you work, which if you are really enjoying it makes sense.

Cheers Simon

Hi Simon,
Thank you, yes really enjoying it. I think for me the speed comes from planning and the amount of time my lovely wife affords me to be at the bench.

Thought a bit of building was in order for this afternoon, so started to roughout the Dutch underground scene.
