Well they’ll be in dark blue and sky blue. Circumstances yet to be decided on.

 

[David Spencer]

That's all the parts trimming done.
And little Billy Yank #1 is starting take human form.
(Just like Valdemort)
One step at a tiiiiime... sweet Jesus.

Casting is variable: from excellent to slightly crude.
But given how inexpensive these sets are, they're fantastic value for money. And you just put a bit of effort into construction.

 

[David Spencer]

Artistic licence.
Going to need some lead alloy foil on these figs.

 

[Rob]

Lead Alloy Foil?
Is that the posh name for wine bottle tops
You will be melting sprues down to make liquid plastic next......

 

[David Spencer]

I have an accumulated stash of it from other figs.
But yes, same thing.
(I rarely drink wine though)

Horrible photo, but straps are underway.
Audio entertainment is 3 July 160 anniversary episode of Addressing Gettysburg.

You can't have too much of a good thing.

Left hand in place.
Shall I give him a rifled musket or leave him playing air guitar?

Go greased lightnin’”

 

[Warren SMITH]

Keep the pics coming.. great start

 

[NigelR]

Great start, you can do so much with these figures.

 

[David Spencer]

Not much filler needed on this simple figure

 

[Nap]

Looking good prepwise

Soon be painting ....

[David Spencer]

Indeed.
No luck with 1/35 electric guitars, so it's a Springfield rifled musket after all.
Once it's all trimmed and built, the painting can commence

 

[David Spencer]

“Come and get it, you sons of bitches!”
Ahem…
The shoulder strap will need a bit of attention to make it “hang” better.

 

[Nap]

Hi David

Springfield looks better rather than a guitar !

Straps a easy fix and then it's the primer and painting

Have fun

[David Spencer]

Current bedtime reading.
Both highly recommended. And indispensible together.

 

[MalcC]

Coming on nicely.
