Thanks Paul!

Haven't painted for the past several days as its just too hot in the study:eek: . We have had several 100+ degree temps here and both of my portable fans have given up the ghost!

After finding pics of Brit WW1 issue gas masks on the internet, I decided to do a little modification. A little scraping, filing, drilling, some lead sheet, bit of sprue, wire and putty, and ended up like this.

That is quite superb. Interesting that the club in his right hand is very similar to the mace I did for my XIIth century knight. It just shows that when fighting gets up close and personal, the weapons available often revert to the very basic.

Slowly...daughter home from Africa so tomorrow its the 450 mile drive to see her. Going to LFC Man City game in New York City on Wed. Good friend Nick Dransfield and family arrive a week from today so that should be fun. Then its balls to the wall and drive on till the opening.
 
Bit of a poor piccy update on the rework

Reworked and eyebrows on both heads

Helmet now in place

Catapult now in the lads pocket ...took 6 attempts !! All will become clearer when painted ..doesn't really show well in PC...but it's there !

Socks on legs ......

Put cap onto the lads head ..quite pleased with that ...will paint the textures on it

Cue pics
