WIP Critique Heavy Metal

[Briggsy]

Wow, Simon, you're gutzy working these Big Dogs, let alone three of them, sheesh! Standing by to stand by for more.

Thanks for that, it's a case of diving in at the deep end to make me get more comfortable with the nags. Big Dogs, love that, I am getting happier with them so a good challenge seemed like a good idea, might change my mind on that though!

Cheers Simon

Well., don't quit halfway thru, I need ref material so I can do some of mine. Oh, btw, no pressure, HA!

Better late than never as my mother used to tell me, never did work out why!

I have been doing little bits and will update after Bugle Call, but it's going to take a while to do the whole lot. I am also going to try and make each one as different as possible, a General, a Trooper and a Trumpeter so it should be a fairly easy task.

Cheers Simon

Hi Stephen, yes built from the packet Historex horses are rather skinny especially when trying to depict war horses. I add a piece of platicard to one half trimmed to size to add that little bit extra, it seems to do the trick, can't remember the exact gauge of the card but about a millimeter or so seems about right. Would love to see the WWI figure.

Cheers Simon

Hi Simon, cuirassier turned out quite well considering it was my first attempt at a Historex figure. I also built a German uhlan to accompany it (horse looks OK for a light cavalryman). I would post photos if I understood the technology (I am very old school that way and don't even own a mobile phone!).

Hi Stephen, I hear you on the phone issue, I was happy with my old flip phone and no credit on the account but the family, well the females, insisted I have one. Now they complain when I use it, though I am careful to keep the volume turned off so I never know when it rings, that suits me fine and exasperates them!!! Modern technology is scary.

Cheers Simon

My wife does the same thing. Volume off.
