Completed Iron Brigade

[Briggsy]

You going to add a rifle sling?

Saw Biff at Wembley a couple of months ago, along with Judas Priest and Uriah Heep. Of the three Saxon were by far the best IMO, but then I'm biased with Biff being a Yorkshireman and all!

No sling: not all infantry had them - there were some pretty low proportions of slung rifles vs unslung - and I feel like giving myself a slightly easier ride.

 

[Briggsy]

Fair one, personally I don't like slings one should carry the weapon in ones hands, definitely not slung or resting on the back pack like the French.

Lots to... doing lots

How can you work in such a tidy space, I need my mess all around!

And it all gets put away after a session.

After living in barracks in my early years I got fed up with tidy, I do what I can but my wife keeps everything else tidy, well until Eva arrived.

Evening sessions only at the moment, so it ain't moving quickly.

Might not be fast but those trousers look good, you have a way with light blues that makes it look easy.

That's coming along really well. Of course what you really need for inspirational painting is Tangerine Dream.....

Not quite my preferred genre, but it's certainly music to lose yourself in.

Nice work, the trousers are looking good.....

 

[David Spencer]

Slow progress, but the basic colours are getting applied.
No modelling today.
I did get out (for work), for the second time this week, though.

 

[David Spencer]

Made some "one-cent stands", since the pose of this fig invites painting much of the detail and toning before completing the build.

 

[Briggsy]

Nice counter weighted stands, I have two pence pieces glued to the bottom of the corks I use, one of the few times I use cash these days.

Cheers Simon

 

[David Spencer]

Those sorts of things are really handy
