Hi Malc

Nice work on the backpack and the blanket roll, figures really coming along well now with a striking uniform ...quite impressive for the ladies at the time no doubt

Looking forward to seeing more on this and getting the 1/12th bust started

Have fun @ the bench

Not much to report on, as I've been under the weather the past few days after having a vaccination, that wasn't supposed to have any side effects.

After watching a few documentary's on some of the early battles, mainly to get some idea for the groundwork,
I started to produce something along those lines.
Magic-Sculpt was used for the soil and detailed with an old toothbrush, and some mini-nature tufts to replicate what I'd seen in the documentary's.
The figure is now in position, so now all I have to do is paint the Enfield.

Hi Malc that’s turning into a fantastic piece mate. He looks battle worn and the ground work really suits him. Just a final push and he’s done great job all round.

Looking good Malc and sorry to hear you've been under the weather.
The lacing is a pain to do but looks good in the end.
I have had a 1/1 scale bathroom to paint, now that's a pain in the a**e.

Cheers Bob, yes the lacing was a challenge as I had to make it thinner than marked out, but came out ok.... i hope.

I have a 1/1 scale bedroom to paint, I hate all the prep work, especially sanding the skirting boards.
