Ox and Bucks LI Glider Infantry and Dublin 1916

[al51williams]

Some images of recent work completed in lockdown.
Ox and Bucks 75mm scratchbuilt in mostly Milliput. Sten is made from aluminium tube, steel pin, brass sheet, detail in Milliput. Bricks - PVC foamboard. Helmet - whitemetal from earlier Cheshire Volunteer casting with old net curtain stretched over it sealed with PVA.
Dublin scene 54mm figures scratchbuilt in mostly Milliput. The Lee Enfield comes from one of my former CV weapons packs. I think the only gun I have not shown with a figure is the Bren, I'll try and address that with my next project. Pegaso background. Pillar box was a kit but 1/35th, so I had to enlarge it with PVC tubing.

Hi there Alex

Great to see you posting and even better you've scratchbuilt them

Really like all figures , nice beret colour and camo

Like the Vignette as well , really good uniform colour ...what's the mix you've used ?

Always good to see your artwork

Why not enter a piece into the class of your choice in our new FOTM comp and the Vignette & Diorama comp running till end of Feb

Thanks for sharing

Happy benchtime

Alex, Really like your Glider Infantry piece! I think you pulled off a great piece of work! I just watched move, A Bridge Too Far last night for the nth time. Think your attention to detail and scale are good as well. Love the beret and camo. Man, you did a great job! Congrats

Thanks for the comments guys. Unfortunately diagnosed with Parkinson's about 4 years ago, so the clock is ticking and I don't know how long I can keep this up.

Dang Alex! Sorry to hear about your illness mate :-(
Wonderful to see you still creating mate.
You always were a doyen at camouflage.
I recall your MilMod articles on this, well tagged for ref & inspiration.
Keep ‘em coming.

Beautiful work, Alex - the Easter Rising vignette is superb, a simple scene of a period in history not often covered.
